Senior Living Guide

Cover concepts / 2025

A collection of cover concepts designed to capture warmth, trust, and clarity for a regional guide aimed at older adults and their families.

The Chosen One

This final design was chosen for this year’s guide. With soft tones and a tranquil layout, it captures the calm, reassuring feel that defines our senior publications. The guide this year focused on finding the balance between physical, mental and financial health for seniors.

Joy in Gardening

This design came in second place and will be repurposed for our Home & Garden section this spring. I’m especially fond of the color palette — it feels fresh yet grounded.

Fall Fun

This cover was developed around our recurring feature on local, senior-friendly activities. When that section was removed from this year’s edition, the concept lost its relevance — a small example of how design must adapt to shifting content.

Staying Active

A big part of the guide is giving tips to seniors on staying healthy. The obvious cover choice would be seniors finding ways to stay active, but this year we wanted to focus more on mental health and self care.
