Cosmopolitan has long positioned itself as a voice for young women navigating the transition from adolescence into adulthood, championing fun-loving and fearless femininity. As one of our earlier editorial projects, it also became an opportunity to explore a new design format through collaboration.

THE CHALLENGE

The challenge lays in working externally with an editorial team while understanding that editorial design operates according to its own principles. As the features were heavily text-based, careful management of text placement was essential whilst still adhering to the publication’s design language. Image placement, graphic placement, and typography all needed to work together in a way that felt both intuitive and visually engaging for the reader.

FUN AND PUNCHY

After examining the Cosmopolitan brand kit, it became clear that its visual philosophy was rooted in the idea of being a cheerleader for fun-loving, fearless girls. Headlines needed to feel bold helping to communicate impact. Two key typographic styles were used to distinguish different topics while also introducing an element of romanticism.


Bold and decorative headers were used to communicate a playful, cheeky, “try it” attitude. The key colours of baby pink, bright red, and black within these specific spreads, worked together to maintain boldness while expressing a strong feminine energy.

OUTCOME

The result was an editorial layout that captured Cosmopolitan’s playful and recognisable voice while remaining clear, engaging, and easy to navigate. By balancing bold typography, expressive colour, and structured composition, the features delivered a youthful and energetic reading experience that stays true to the brand’s identity.
