“They’re Not A Narcissist, They’re Just An A**hole” — Jovana Gavrilovic

These spreads were created for my present internship with Waiting Room Publishing. Both of these spreads were ideated by me given a short brief based on magazine themes and the article in question.

The above spread has assets completely drawn by me using Procreate; I started with the idea that I didn’t want to lean too sentimental with the visuals, but rather more poetic and rely on color to establish an empathetic tone. I relied on simpler, line based drawings so as to remain figurative and less literal in the overall visual concept.

For the second spread, the brief was to remain a bit edgy and modern, and establish a powerful tone. This magazine called Gigi is meant to speak to women 60+, but maintain a cool and contemporary vibe. I chose to use feminine colors, but not those which are overly frilly or “girly”. Here, the deeper purple and red tones maintain a sense of the feminine while also communicating a feeling of power and agency.
