Overview
A second magazine on ballet, with the same editorial content as the Dance issue — the definition of ballet and its main styles, an interview with a famous ballet dancer, the greatest ballet dancers and the jobs of dancers — in a lighter, more colourful art direction.
Challenge
Create a softer, more colourful version of the magazine while keeping the same content and a clear reading order.
Direction
An olive-green cover with a leaping dancer wrapped in flowing pink fabric, a thin high-contrast serif title, and pastel diagonal bands (pink, white, mint) on the inside spreads.
Process

Cover
“BALLET” in a thin, elegant serif with the dancer's leap and pink fabric crossing the title; the summary of the issue sits under “Special title”.
- 02
The greatest ballet dancers
A spread presenting dancers such as Violetta Komyshan, Margot Fonteyn, Natalia Osipova, Anna Pavlova and Misty Copeland, each with a cut-out photo and a short text, on pastel diagonal bands.

Mockups
