LAURA ÁNGEL
Kevin Barry Art Advisory curates art programs for luxury hospitality clients around the world. I led the design and art direction of ELEVATE, a quarterly magazine first launched as a digital-only release, that has since grown into a printed publication.
GoalKBAA needed a quarterly publication to showcase its custom art installations, design trends, and artist collaborations across global luxury hospitality projects, launching digitally with plans to grow into print. As a brand touchpoint and marketing piece for clients and prospects, ELEVATE had to be on par with the services and clients it represented, translating its expertise at the forefront of art curation into a magazine readers could feel, issue after issue.
SolutionThe magazine conveys the same sense of taste and refinement that defines the advisory's curatorial work. I built the layout on a structured grid, flexible enough to let art, photography, and color lead throughout. Each issue carries its own theme, and every spread adapts to the story on the page, from The Ritz-Carlton to a healthcare center. That same attention carried into print as ELEVATE grew from a digital release into a physical publication, where the choice of paper and printing technique reflects the same standard.
