The first major project that I worked on was reconstructing the newsletter, including more recognizable and structured typography. The goal was to improve the reading experience while sacrificing as little page space as possible. Reducing print costs was a high priority for this project.

These sections are ones I am very proud of. I was able to take this design from concept to publication with a quick turnaround time to help make the News & Views page more accessible to readers.
Since these news bites contained a lot of information, I wanted to make sure readers had an enjoyable experience getting through each one instead of feeling barraged by the design. The focal point being the map allows readers to engage with the content most relevant to them first and peruse the others with pleasure.
From the January-February 2023 issue.
This section, 'You Asked, We Answered,' features simple explanations of difficult concepts in higher education as requested by readers. These explanations required a very graphics-heavy approach, almost like a DIY guide.
These, as well as the above News & Views, are printed both with the magazine and as separate standalones due to their usability and popularity.
