Ratio is a contemporary magazine exploring the world of handmade modern miniatures.

The project focused on developing a complete magazine concept from idea to finished publication. Created for readers interested in miniatures and creative hobbies, the magazine combines curated inspiration, artist interviews, and DIY tutorials in a more modern editorial format.

The visual direction explores the contrast between controlled layouts and playful content, creating a reading experience that feels both structured and creative.

Interactive elements such as cut-outs and freebies were integrated throughout the magazine to strengthen the tactile and handmade feeling of the concept.
