Special Covers for People Magazine App
The People App is a fresh, mobile-first way to experience stories from People.com, bringing celebrity news, pop culture, and human-interest content directly into users’ hands. As part of the app’s visual identity, Special Covers were introduced to mimic the feel of bold, iconic magazine covers and turn digital stories into scroll-stopping editorial moments.
With Art Direction from Chuck Kerr and Rosie Berdann, I was brought on to design motion graphics for these Special Covers, focusing on clean, fast, and expressive animation using After Effects. Working closely with editorial and design teams in a fast-paced environment, often with just 2 to 3 hours to concept and deliver, I created animated assets that elevated headline-driven design and celebrity imagery and helped bring the People brand to life in a dynamic, digital format.
