Crosse Magazine

Publication Design
2023
Crosse Magazine is a fictional publication focused on growing the sport of lacrosse and forging bonds between the devoted fans on the sidelines to the fierce players on the field. 

The publication includes a cover, two breather spreads, two articles, and a table of contents. The page dimensions of the publication are the same proportions as a lacrosse field. There are various X's, O's, and other lacrosse field markings carried throughout the pages.




Wordmark Development


The Crosse wordmark went through many stages on the way to its final form. 

After moving into the digital space, I hand altered the Fugaz One typeface into the final wordmark form. This way I could keep the sleekness of a sports publication while also incorporating the classic feel of lacrosse. 

The gif below demonstrates the many iterations of the Crosse wordmark from tracing paper to digital.
