An electrifying edition of Audi Magazine.

Featuring an electrified cover, issue 115 of Audi Magazine is all about the future of electric vehicles and specifically the launch of the Audi e-tron, their first production electric-powered vehicle.

In this edition, I captured photos for many stories including a travel piece about the eco-conscious city of Burlington, Vermont, and the New York City E-Prix FIA Formula E race.

The final cover design for Audi Magazine: 115 was printed using a lenticular process with 4 image frames—creating an interactive and electrified experience.


MoodBoards

In my visual research and initial conceptual explorations, I found inspiration in all things electric—looking at the various ways we generate electricity as well as how it is found in nature. I was fascinated by electromagnetism, lightning, solar energy, Kirlian photography, the aurora borealis, and bioluminescent plankton.


PROCESS

One of the most important parts in an EV motor are neodymium magnets which are fundamental to the technology. I used two high-powered spherical magnets and iron filings to create a magnetic field emanating from the icon 4 rings logo for an initial cover concept.
