Luxury Lifestyle Magazine Design for Men’s Market

Bleu Print – Editorial Design for a Bold, Luxury Lifestyle Magazine

Bleu Print is a New York–based lifestyle publication spotlighting fashion, travel, tech, and culture — tailored to the modern, style-conscious Black man. With high-energy layouts, original photo shoots, and a focus on music and celebrity culture, the magazine delivers GQ-level aesthetics with its own vibrant identity. Flip180 partnered with Bleu from 2017 through 2023, designing more than 20 issues and helping define the visual identity of the brand’s print and digital presence.

High-Frequency Publishing With Style
and Edge

Bleu Print operates on a fast-paced publishing schedule and needed a creative team that could match its momentum without sacrificing polish. We worked closely with their editorial and photography teams to design spreads that felt bold, sharp, and luxurious. Each issue featured exclusive photo shoots with up-and-coming artists, and layouts were crafted to highlight both the photography and the aspirational lifestyle it portrayed. From cover to content, Bleu Print required every page to feel fresh and on-trend — while maintaining a cohesive, premium feel.

What We Delivered Across 20+ Issues

For each issue, Flip180 provided:

Full layout design for editorial features, photo spreads, and advertorials
Creative direction for luxury-focused sections: travel, tech, fashion, food, and culture
Adaptive grid systems with high white space and bold typography
Branded styling for recurring features and interviews
High-resolution print export and proof coordination
Digital magazine prep for online sales and flipbook platforms

The result was a bold, youthful luxury magazine that felt as curated as the lifestyle it celebrated.

A Creative Partnership Built on Consistency and Craft

Over the course of 20+ issues, Flip180 supported Bleu’s publishing journey with reliable design execution and strong creative consistency — issue after issue. Though the partnership concluded in 2023, the legacy of the work speaks volumes: beautifully styled content, brand cohesion across years of publishing, and a distinctive design language that connected with a younger, luxury-minded audience.
