The priority of both the covers and first feature story was to create an expressive reading experience that reflected the style of a maximalist fashion magazine. By combining popping colors, graphic elements and eye-catching photographs, unique themes were developed to carry throughout the feature and uphold the tone and feeling of the contents.

For the second feature, special layout was developed that utilizes the colors and patterns of the outfit in the cover photograph to create an funky theme that encompasses both the contents within the article as well as the personality of Cyndi Lauper.
