Amanda Yarmolich, a bonafide car gal used Garage Style Magazine as a class project while studying at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. The assignment allowed her to select a magazine from a pile, and she chose GSM. “I knew I could twist it to my own interests,” she said. “That, of course, led me to redesign it with a Kustom Kulture edge and add in an Ed “Big Daddy” Roth story and a couple other twists to the original content.” While an actual magazine has not yet been designed to these kustom standards, the GSM design team is wondering if we’ve overlooked a design concept in our original layouts! Keep up the good work, Amanda! www.ayarmolich.com
