Tactical Knives Illustrative Magazine Concept

A couple years ago I made a series of 12 tactical knife illustrations. The work looks quite average to me now (last slide) but I was so proud of it when I made it lol⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Learning social media marketing and focusing on documentation over creation, my mind is now trained to look for content where my past self wouldn't even think of. This gave me an idea.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
These illustrations are old and average but what if I take them and present them in a different way that means something more? This is how I decided I should practice editorial design.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
These are just 2 pages but the outcome is totally different. I really enjoy designing layouts and working with type so this was fun to do as well.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I want you guys to think this way. Look for old work that can be presented in a differemt and fresh way. What do you think about this approach?
