Atomus

The future that never was



    Deliverable
    1 paperback magazine, and 3 cover designs
Brief
This project involved designing a magazine focused on visual culture, featuring an editor’s note, contents page, three articles, and a listings section. Three alternative covers were created to test the versatility of the visual identity.

Target AudienceThe magazine targets a broad audience, including 1950s-era individuals, scholars of mid-century and atomic-age culture, and creatives inspired by retro-futurism.

SolutionAtomus is crafted to celebrate the retro-futurist aesthetics of the mid-twentieth century, capturing the complex blend of hope and apprehension that defined the Atomic Age. Our mission is to serve as a wellspring of inspiration for artists, designers, and writers, while also preserving mid-century futuristic cultural heritage for enthusiasts and academics alike. Each issue will feature exclusive collectable stickers and posters, making Atomus a unique keepsake for those passionate about the era’s visionary style.


Inspirations


This magazine is inspired by 1950s retrofuturism, an era when the future was imagined with boundless optimism, curiosity, and wonder. Its design seeks to capture that same spirit for the audience through bold, curved typography, vibrant colours, and imaginative, futuristic illustrations.
