P007 Le Studio Anthost Magazine
Association: Print Media
Year: 2023
Supervisor: Astrid de Saint Anthost
Le Studio Anthost is a Brooklyn based atelier that specializes in custom hand crafted textiles. The studio lacked an informative and physical book that allowed clients to browse through their products. Requested by founder Astrid de Saint Anthost, this magazine was designed, showcasing available products listed on Le Studio Anthost.Founder Astrid de Saint Anthost had a clear vision for the magazine—she wanted it to embody an organic, clean-cut aesthetic, much like the essence of the brand itself. The design of the magazine was carefully crafted to reflect these values, ensuring the look and feel matched the overall identity of Le Studio Anthost. To maintain a cohesive brand experience, the magazine’s design mirrored the homepage of the studio's website, creating a seamless connection between their online presence and the physical magazine.
Given the nature of the products—custom handcrafted textiles—the magazine was intentionally designed with minimal text, allowing the products to speak for themselves. This choice placed the focus entirely on the textures, patterns, and craftsmanship of the textiles, allowing clients to experience the full beauty of the products through high-quality imagery and spacious layouts. The minimalistic approach not only reflects the brand's ethos but also enhances the magazine's elegance and sophistication, encouraging readers to appreciate the craftsmanship in every piece.
Design, layout, type adjustments, were done by myself.

Key Takeaways: If given the opportunity to revisit this project, one key improvement I would focus on is conducting a test print. Working with a physical copy of the booklet would allow me to engage directly with the design and assess how the colors and layout translate to paper. This is important because printed colors can often look different from what’s displayed on screen, so adjustments could be made to ensure the final product looks exactly as intended.
