Film Sphere
Magazine
This editorial project explores the world of international cinema through the creation of Film Sphere magazine. Designed as a guide for audiences curious about foreign films but hesitant due to language barriers, the magazine introduces global storytelling in an accessible and engaging way.
The inaugural issue focuses on South Korean cinema, highlighting its distinct visual style, cultural depth, and global influence while encouraging readers to expand their cinematic horizons.
Spreads
The magazine’s layout was designed to feel clean and minimal while guiding readers through the content. The table of contents introduces the articles with numbered images and brief descriptions, followed by an editor’s note explaining the purpose of the magazine and its focus on international film.
The feature section highlights South Korean cinema, including an image-driven story on Parasite and a text-focused feature on director Park Chan-Wook. Additional back-brief reviews of #Alive and Sleep provide shorter insights, while two infographics — a timeline of South Korea’s film industry and a curated movie watchlist — help readers explore the country’s cinematic landscape.
Thank You!
Brand Identity
Developing the type system was a key part of designing this long-form magazine. I paired Objectiv, a bold sans-serif used for headlines and pull quotes, with Arno Pro, a compact and highly readable serif for body text. This combination created a strong visual hierarchy and guided the development of the magazine’s grid and style guide.
The logo concept draws from classic film imagery. Inspired by a projector, the arm of the “F” becomes a projecting lens, casting across the remaining letterforms while the negative space holds the word “sphere,” creating a visual interpretation of the magazine’s name.
