Overview:
POISE is a female-led magazine, written from the female's perspective, with a strong emphasis on what it means to be a woman. POISE is more than just a magazine, it's a community that celebrates the shared female experiences. The bold, distinctive platform serves as a catalyst for meaningful conversations within society, bringing attention to the social, cultural and intimate aspects of being a woman.
The meaning behind the name ‘POISE’, is to signify the brands aims, inspiring and empowering our readers. POISE refers to having a graceful and balance demeanour, often in the face of challenges. By using the name POISE for the magazine, it aligns with the aspirational and empowering content within the pages of the magazine.
POISE is not your standard girly magazine. It doesn't give you the latest fashion news and celebrity coverage. The magazine pages redefine what it means to be a woman; different stories, different perspectives, one article at a time. POISE gives the readers the opportunity to connect with like-minded people and make meaningful connections.

What I learnt
POISE taught me that magazine design is more than decoration. An importance aspect of magazine design is it's identity and effectiveness. These features attract readers by enhancing their reading experience and achieving a loyal relationship with their readers. Whilst the magazine design is important in ensuring POSIE stands out from its competitors, consistency has a big impact on a publication successfulness. By picking a topic that means something to me, I was able to grow and create an attractive and consistent brand.
