Vital magazine combines a bold colour palette with fun illustration to redefine accountancy

When picturing a magazine about accountancy I bet you a tenner you wouldn't picture Vital magazine. The quarterly publication is aimed specifically at accountancy students, and features articles and updates from both tutors and industry experts. Through a brave palette of colours, and fresh feeling illustrations, it's far from dry.

Isometric illustration of a colourful creative workspace with turquoise, pink and blue surfaces, featuring a desk with laptop, notepads, plants and office supplies

When it came to the design, Emily Foster took the lead, with Barcelona-based art directors, Núria Madrid and Cristian Malagón Garcia commissioned to create the cover and interior illustrations for a feature dedicated to students preparing for their accounting exams. Discover more over on Behance.
