01 — THE BRIEF

Turn a series of 3D renders into a print product that works like a real car magazine — with rhythm, chapters and typography that gives the images room.

Self-initiated project. All images are computer-generated; the car model comes from a 3D asset library.

02 — EXECUTION
  • Own studio and night renders at print resolution✓
  • Masthead, chapter structure & page flow✓
  • Grid and spreads without losing detail in the gutter✓
  • PDF with 3 mm bleed & crop marks✓
