Sister Magazines
Arch•ive grounds us in reality, and looks at a smaller scale, at individual objects in our spaces, the stories that these objects hold, and how we can curate these objects and stories to create more thoughtful and beautiful spaces.
Logotype Development
Starting with a grid, I created squared off, pixelated type, then, without adding new shapes, I simply curated each letter, and carved away curves and counterforms to create the whole. The dot in the middle is meant to highlight the “arch” or the “architectural” element in the name archive.
Digital & Analog Reading
Without needing to order a printed magazine, readers are able to get the inspiration and knowledge to hopefully make their space more impactful while purchasing as few new items as possible.
E-Ink
An e-ink display provides a dull, unobtrusive finish, that aligns with the requirements of an ambient device to blend into the background. Therefore, the interface of the planning slate needed to stay be black and white, and not rely on motion for any interaction, like scrolling.
