Editorial Design, Photo Direction, Digital Illustration, Infographic Design, Art Direction
Columbia Journalism Review is a quarterly magazine which leads, critiques, and supports the rapidly changing field of American journalism. Since its founding in 1961, Columbia Journalism Review has been an essential leader in its field, not only for journalists but countless other members in communications, technology, and academia.
With bold and versatile templates, Columbia Journalism Review uses flexible design to feature a wide variety of ideas and subjects, from column- to feature-length writing and sidebars to illustrations, photography, and infographics.
In collaboration with my team at Point Five, I laid out the entirety of this issue, as well as contributed to decisions made over illustrations, photo selections, infographic designs, and feature layouts. The strong, distinctive design of CJR, combined with creative, custom features unique to each issue, has gained recognition and multiple awards across the magazine industry.
