This self-published personal zine features my collection of old and new builds that I did for my Roaring Heights save from The Sims 3, and was done as part of the 11 Days of Summer collab of TS3 Simmers that was organized by Shan Finds Pixels over on Twitter, which started last June 2023.
I want to present my creations in an artistic, editorial manner and as curated visual stories of the world that I’m building within my game - with aesthetic layouts, clean typography, and high-quality in-game photography.

What if the old, famous magazines like Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Vanity Fair, Cosmopolitan, etc. exist in Roaring Heights, within The Sims 3 universe?
I designed a sample Vogue magazine with a Sim in it, not only for my personal editorial design practice, but also to visualize how the magazines in Roaring Heights would look like, with my It Girl sims gracing their covers. I also did a bit of the inside pages for practice.
My inspiration mostly came from old magazine covers from the 1930s-1940s, with a more neutral / muted color palette. The pictures used came from my own in-game screenshots.
