Classic Rock - Jimi Hendrix Special Edition
—
Magazine Design and Art Direction for a Classic Rock Special on Jimi Hendrix. Classic Rock was one of Britain’s biggest-selling music monthlies. Every issue contained exclusive interviews with some of the biggest names in music and over 150 album reviews. The magazine also produced regular high-quality special editions focussing on a single artist or genre of music.

Using elements from the monthly magazine style, I was briefed to produce a one-off Jimi Hendrix special edition released in tandem with a new retrospective CD. This involved working directly with the late guitarist’s estate and record company, and using bold typography and photographs, reflecting Hendrix’s bold approach to music and image, to create an essential collectors’ edition. The magazine was released with a series of never seen before images. These were used on the front cover and main feature.
