BRIEF

Full Tilt magazine wants to be an integral part of the extreme sports culture. This editorial piece features real life stories about women active in the skateboarding community to resonate with its female readers.

A handwritten style typeface with oversized headlines in energetic orange gives a dynamic, fun feel. Bold use of colour was appropriate for the summer issue, balanced with black and white photography to avoid overwhelm. Splashes of colour and image treatment mixing halftone spiral and dot grid effects gives a gritty, informal aesthetic.

The design contrasts bold layout on pages featuring personal stories with a neater, more controlled layout where skating styles are concerned. This echoes the combination of bold spirit and precision of technique of skateboard culture.
