Answers Magazine
While working at Answers Magazine, I was asked by the Art Director to help modernize the brand of this long-running publication, which explores the intersection of faith and science.
My Role:
I created the cover for the 20th year anniversary, created engaging illustrations for articles and quizzes, and designed dynamic layouts to enhance the reader experience, modernized the branding system for secondary pieces, and created social media stories for our Answers Magazine instagram giveaway.
Answers, 20-4
Creating Answers, 20–4 was an exciting time, as my cover design was selected by the editorial team to celebrate the 20th issue of Answers magazine. The VP of Publications loved the concept of featuring all the magazine covers together, as well as my use of a tree frog perched on the zero in “20”—a nod to the very first cover of Answers, which also featured a tree frog. I also really enjoyed creating illustrations for “The Research Report.” Did you know scientists recently found soft tissue in a triceratops? Read on to learn more.
Answers, 20-3
Creating the artwork for the On the Surface article in Answers, 20.3, was such a fun experience. I really enjoyed learning about each animal and how they “walk” on water. This illustration stretched me in many ways as a designer, especially as I used a lot of geometric shapes to build and define the animals.
Laying out the rest of the issue was just as rewarding. I had the opportunity to experiment with different typefaces and even broke the grid a few times, pushing my designs beyond my usual approach.
Answers Magazine,
Instagram Stories.
To help grow our Instagram following to 1,000, our Social Media Manager asked me to design Instagram Stories promoting a giveaway of two tickets to the Ark Encounter. The story design was a success, and we surpassed 1,000 followers.
