Amaryllis Magazine — We Jazz
This project involved the redesign of Amaryllis, a jazz magazine published by We Jazz — a Finnish cultural publisher and promoter known for its careful curatorial approach and contemporary take on jazz.
I redefined the magazine's visual and editorial identity, using a vibrant and contrasting color palette that reflects the energy of contemporary jazz, balanced with classic elements that reference the genre's legacy.
This balance is evident in the use of tall typography and halftone images — a nod to the aesthetic of jazz magazines and album covers from the 20th century. The result is a publication with a unique personality, where the classic and modern coexist.
As a limited edition and collectible, the magazine is presented inside a vinyl record sleeve, with the magazine cover itself designed to resemble an LP. In addition to providing protection, this solution transforms it into a exclusive object — reinforcing the connection to classic jazz and the vinyl culture.
