ROKKYUU Magazine

The 2011 re-launch for Japanese rock magazine ROKKYUU focused on gearing the magazine toward visual kei under the oversight of its Editor in Chief, Leela McMullen.

I designed a highly customized WordPress platform that let the editorial team report on the music scene remotely from Japan, Australia, Europe, and the United States. The installation integrated with Last.fm to track bands on tour and provided a user login system where visitors could save popular content to their profiles.
