Mirroring the renewed interest in crafts and the growing prefrence for print formats, particularly among millennials and Gen Z. However, existing publications predominantly cater to a professional audience, limiting access for a younger demographic.

The Target

Editiorial Art Direction, 2023

Tactile caters to a diverse demographic aged 18 to 35, connecting seasoned artists pushing creative boundaries with individuals aspiring to commence, advance, or broaden their engagement in manual arts. Profiles include:

Established Artists: Accomplished creatives seeking innovative content and advanced techniques to enhance their work and gain exposure through feature opportunities in the magazine.

Eager Students: Those with some experience value Tactile for its practical tutorials and rich artistic inspiration.

Newcomers: Tactile acts as an entry point for newcomers, providing beginner-friendly content and comprehensive step-by-step guides.

The Outcome

Editiorial Art Direction, 2023

Tactile’s visual identity serves two important roles:

Fusing Contemporary and Traditonal Aesthetics: The new visual identity blends Swiss design principles with traditional analog art, layering a contemporary type and hand-drawn illustrations for a dynamic and authentic visual experience.

Digital and Print Integration: Ensure a consistent visual identity across both digital and print platforms for a unified brand image.
