The Honors College newsmagazine redesign : news and notes

Abstract

Flipping through a newspaper or skimming through a magazine is often times a mindless task. Readers wait for something to catch their eye. A snappy headline grabs their attention, but so does something else: the way the headline looks. News and Notes is the Honors College's only newsmagazine. It is published twice a year and features stories about the faces, legacy, and news of the Honors College. While News and Notes is an award-winning publication, leadership and readership agreed that it was time for a brand refresh. Using my background in journalism graphics, marketing and branding, I have redesigned the style guide for the printed News and Notes publication and provided a website mock-up.
