Content Studio Internship
Print Publication Design
From January – June 2023 in Wappinger Falls, NY
Work Experience
Working alongside the Art Director, I redesigned cover and interior page layouts of the New York By Rail Magazine (NYBR), an official Amtrak travel guide publication. The goal was to enhance the upcoming issue with a fresher, modern look while creating an easy browsing experience for Amtrak railway travelers. Below shows the published redesign of the NYBR Events spread for the 2023 print.
Original 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
