Content Studio Internship
Print Publication Design
From January 2023 – Present in Wappinger Falls, NY
Background
Working alongside the Art Director, I am redesigning the cover and interior page layouts of New York By Rail Magazine (NYBR), an official Amtrak travel guide publication. The goal is to enhance the next issue with a fresher, modern look while creating a better browsing experience for Amtrak railway travelers. Recently, I reworked the 2022 NYBR Events spread for the 2023 NYBR print.
2022 NYBR Events Spread
Problem
-visually overwhelming, unappealing
-heavy on text-based information
-feels static
-intimidating to read
-needs to be more digestible
My Take
-encapsulate event highlights into visible grids
-create a cohesive relationship between text and images
-amplify and tweak color use
-simplify headline to one color and into sans-serif type
-simplify listings (event title, location, date, website, distance) to one color and organize into sans-serif combination type
