PROJECT OVERVIEW

The Tip is a conceptual premier volleyball coaching magazine designed to celebrate the strategy, dedication, and expertise behind the sport. The goal was to create a publication identity that felt professional, energetic, and informative while appealing to coaches, players, and volleyball enthusiasts.

Using provided photography from volleyball coach Lisa T., the project focused on transforming real coaching experiences and team moments into a cohesive editorial experience through cover design, typography, layout, and visual storytelling.

DESIGN APPROACH

The visual direction combines bold athletic typography, dynamic composition, and structured editorial layouts to create a magazine system that feels both competitive and approachable. The cover establishes clear hierarchy through feature headlines, issue information, and supporting content, while the interior spread balances photography, article flow, pull quotes, and supporting visuals to guide the reader through the story.
