Stella Caruso
During my time at Reading, I’ve developed a strong foundation across editorial, branding, and UX design. I’m especially drawn to projects that balance clarity with expression, using typography, texture, and imagery to create meaning. I’m excited to continue growing as a designer and explore new creative challenges.
Soul on Top
A re-design of James Brown’s album cover for ‘Soul on Top’. The visual concept captures the atmosphere of a late-night jazz bar, with the front cover presenting a moody and cinematic feel. As the vinyl is opened, the design transitions to a vibrant, expressive inner sleeve and record sticker, capturing the energy and funk of the music inside.
Sonic Journals
‘Sonic Journals’ is an independent music magazine, with each edition offering a deep dive into a specific music genre. The magazine explores key artists, albums as well as the genre’s wider impact on society and culture. The visual design is influenced by punk Fanzines from the 1970s/80s to create a personal and authentic aesthetic.
