Aspire Magazine Redesign
Aspire is Birmingham City University’s alumni magazine, distributed to graduates and stakeholders. This edition required a refreshed editorial layout aligned with the University’s updated brand identity.
-
Editorial design, grid development, typographic hierarchy, page layouts and visual direction.
-
I introduced a modular grid system to support a wide range of content types, from feature articles to short-form news. Typography and spacing were refined to improve readability, while photography and colour were used more deliberately to create stronger pacing and hierarchy.

The redesigned magazine delivered a more contemporary, cohesive reading experience. Improved structure and clarity resulted in a publication that felt modern, professional and engaging, while remaining flexible for future editions.
