Magazine - Tuco Marine Group
The task was to design a 32-page anniversary magazine that could be handed out to customers and visitors alongside Tuco’s product booklets. The magazine presents both historic and modern vessels using Tuco’s own photography and includes QR codes linking directly to the website for readers interested in specific boat designs.
Magazine
InDesign
Structure
The magazine is built on a structured grid system with six rows and four columns, ensuring a consistent and balanced layout across all pages.
Editorial Storytelling
The magazine is structured as a narrative journey through Tuco Marine Group’s history, present, and future. Instead of simply presenting boats and specifications, the editorial layout is designed to tell a story from the early beginnings of the boatyard, to their most advanced vessels and upcoming ambitions.
Each section is introduced with strong full-page imagery and bold headlines, creating clear chapters within the magazine. Historical boats are presented alongside modern designs to highlight Tuco’s technical development over the last 25 years. Case stories and milestones are visually separated using color blocks, pull quotes, and image-led spreads to keep the reading experience engaging and dynamic.
QR codes are integrated naturally into the layout, allowing readers to move seamlessly from print to digital and explore specific boat models in more detail on Tuco’s website. This creates a bridge between the physical magazine and Tuco’s digital platform, extending the storytelling beyond print.
Visual Identity & Graphics
A custom anniversary emblem was created for the magazine cover and back page and later used on blue T-shirts for Tuco’s employees as part of the celebration.
The logo was designed in gold to create a premium and elegant expression that contrasts strongly against Tuco’s blue brand color. A laurel wreath surrounds the emblem to symbolize pride, achievement, and an important milestone in the company’s history.
The logo was illustrated in Adobe Illustrator using vector shapes, gradients, and custom outlines to create a realistic gold effect with depth and reflection.
Print Production
All images were converted to CMYK using the FOGRA39 ICC profile and prepared in 300 DPI for high-quality print output.
The cover features a full-page image of a USV vessel with a more tactical, military-inspired color grade. The original yellow tones were removed using color replacement tools, and saturation was reduced to create a colder, more industrial look.
A blue gradient overlay was added to the top and bottom of the image to improve text readability, while the mast was carefully cut out using the Pen Tool so it could overlap the headline — adding depth and visual impact.
Typography
Generous margins create a modern, open look and give the content room to breathe, improving overall readability and visual flow. Montserrat was chosen as the main typeface for its clean, geometric character and excellent readability in print.
Headlines: Montserrat Bold, 59 pt with 62 pt leading
Subheadings: Montserrat Bold, 13 pt with 15 pt leading
Body text: Montserrat Medium, 10 pt with 12 pt leading
Paragraph styles were used throughout the document to ensure consistency and allow efficient layout adjustments.
