Escapade
Escapade is a travel and lifestyle magazine built around my fascination with haunted stories and unexplored myths. It invites readers into places where culture, history, and the supernatural quietly blur.

Brief
The magazine reimagines travel not through beaches and skylines, but through legends, abandoned sites, ghost tales, and forgotten folklore — turning curiosity into a guidebook. Each issue maps eerie destinations from around the world, pairing research with atmospheric layouts, photography, and storytelling. The visual direction leans into mood, texture, and cinematic pacing to build an immersive reading experience.
My Contribution
I developed the core concept, curated the stories, and designed the entire editorial system — from typography and layout flow to the visual tone that makes Escapade feel mysterious yet refined.
Challenges & Experience
Balancing fact with folklore and keeping the design evocative without overwhelming the content was the biggest challenge. The project sharpened my editorial instincts and helped me explore narrative design in a darker, more experimental space.
