Thrasher Magazine Layout

Thrasher is a monthly skateboard magazine produced by High Speed Productions, Inc. They originally created it to help promote Independent Trucks, but it has become one of the most iconic and well-known skateboard magazines. Using my skills in InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator, I designed the cover and a 17-page layout for a school project. This project combines Art Direction, Editorial Design, Layout Systems, and Typography to create a consistent, flexible design system for Thrasher. All text is generated.
