Classic Rock — Jimi Hendrix
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 focusing on a single artist or music genre.

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