INFO — A Bank’s Quarterly Magazine, 2022–2025

From the first issue I set the style for INFO, a leading Namibian bank’s quarterly magazine, then carried that branding through every edition for three years — including a 40-year anniversary special packed with history, portraits and archive material.

The Challenge

Every quarter brought a new mix of news, features, portraits and event photos, all needing to feel like the same magazine. The 40th-anniversary edition was the hardest: four decades of history, ten managing directors and decades of annual-report covers, with heavy copy and many images on every spread.


The Approach

I built the masthead, grid, type hierarchy and colour use in the first issue, then treated it as a style system: each new edition reused the same paragraph styles, section openers and image treatments, so issues stayed consistent and fast to produce. For the anniversary edition I ordered the archive into clear timelines, galleries and portrait spreads so the dense content stays easy to scan.

Selected Pages
