MATCH OF THE DAY

Magazine Page Layouts

Designing for Match of the Day magazine is always exciting. It’s a playful publication aimed at kids, packed with features, games, and football fun. I enjoy the creative freedom it offers. While working within the house fonts, I can push layouts, experiment with colour, and introduce dynamic, custom design elements. Bold colours represent different clubs, keeping the pages bright, lively, and instantly engaging. The challenge is balancing that sense of fun with a clean, stylish layout that feels polished but never boring.

A bold player feature that uses strong visuals and striking colour to capture Pogba’s energy and personality across two dynamic layouts.

Boot Timeline Spread – A dynamic timeline layout using a felt-tip–style backdrop to showcase football boots in a fun, illustrative way.

Ronaldo Quiz Page – An engaging design that makes interactivity feel exciting and accessible for young readers.

Feature: Messi vs Ronaldo – Multi-page spreads comparing two football icons, designed with bold type, strong imagery, and clear storytelling across three layouts.

Top 5 Players Feature – A set of three spreads that incorporates medal ribbon-inspired club colours and a clear typographic hierarchy, guiding readers seamlessly through the player rankings.
