A new name, masthead, layout, and cover design for the magazine of Avrotros Klassiek. VIRTUOOS is the follow-up to Avrotros Klassiek presenteert!, the loyalty program booklet featuring young, upcoming classical music talents who get a jump start in their careers.

Photography leads the way

VIRTUOOS is not your traditional magazine. Its design and content revolve around the music talent per issue. Photography of the talent(s) is a central part, as it accounts for 50% of the booklet. Aside from the art direction, I set out to create a contemporary yet youthful style, as an antithesis to the somewhat heavy and dark traditional classical music photography.

Moodboard driven

Since the talents aren’t models, I want to prepare them as thoroughly as possible. The moodboard I design includes the overall concept idea, suggested poses, lighting styles, a wardrobe brief for the stylist, and setup for hair and makeup, so the talent and creative crew know exactly what to do on set.
