To elevate Departures magazine, our team developed a sophisticated design strategy that captured the essence of luxury and travel, resonating deeply with an elite audience. As the Art Director, I led the creative vision, ensuring that the magazine embodied the exclusivity and elegance that readers of American Express Platinum and Centurion cards expect. By infusing the magazine with a visually engaging and cohesive design, we brought to life its luxurious and sophisticated character. This approach, combined with strategic content placement and interactive digital elements, captivated the magazine's discerning readers and significantly boosted online engagement and readership.

Additionally, it was my idea to integrate QR codes throughout the magazine to track user engagement and provide direct links to advertisements, further enhancing the reader experience and offering valuable insights into audience interaction. Our comprehensive redesign focused on enhancing the user experience with an intuitive and visually stunning interface, resulting in increased subscriptions and heightened reader satisfaction.
