Design the cover and interior layouts for an editorial-style print booklet (6-8), establishing page templates, grid systems, and typographic hierarchy.
Deliverables must include: Print-ready magazine design, Web landing page (microsite of the magazine for ease of reading on a screen), and a PDF version of the magazine for digital distribution.

Design pull quotes, callout boxes, sidebar treatments, and other editorial components directed by our editor that give the piece rhythm and visual variety.
Create abstract visual concepts and illustrations to support the materials. AI images welcome. No stock photography.
Collaborate with writers and editors to integrate copy into layouts, ensuring hierarchy, flow, and readability across the full publication.
