Objective

The challenge was to establish a compelling brand identity for the magazine that could become a home for the indie gaming community. The design needed to captivate the gaming audience, while simultaneously preserving the authentic “indie” ambiance.

The idea was to design a versatile cover that could be easily adapted for each issue, thereby fully highlighting the featured game of the week. The logo, embodying a “walkthrough”, serves as a guide in the indie gaming industry. This theme is echoed in a layout inspired by the Bauhaus movement, through the use of geometric shapes. The page layouts, while vibrant, maintain simplicity to ensure the content remains the focus.
