Band Tribute Booklet

A typographic editorial booklet celebrating the visual identity of a selected band. The project focused on creating a cohesive publication system that translated the band's music and personality into print through hierarchy, pacing, imagery, and expressive typography. Rather than simply documenting the band, the goal was to balance readability with a strong visual atmosphere while maintaining consistency across every spread.
