Guidelines, Layout

My duties included sourcing and commissioning photographers and illustrators that would serve the magazine’s desired sophisticated aesthetic, to reflect an affluent and aspirational readership.
My favorite part of the position was finding brilliant photographers and illustrators to contribute to the magazine. Some of them were frequent guests.

While WSJ. Magazine’s design was relatively conservative, I made each feature opener as unique as the subject matter was.

Such elements that I reworked as part of the redesign process included a refined typeface combination, a more playful grid to house more photos and captions, and a cover design that lent itself to ample space for headlines.
