PUBLICATION DESIGN

Pulse

Pulse is a social justice magazine that brings awareness to the lack of equal access in healthcare.

OBJECTIVE This project involved designing a publication centered around social justice, featuring a cover page, table of contents, feature article, and interview article.

WORDMARK DEVELOPMENT Early iterations explored different visual directions to communicate urgency while maintaining a sense of continuity and hope for the future of healthcare.

An italicized lowercase wordmark with an integrated EKG pulse reinforces curiosity, urgency, and the publication's healthcare focus.

VISUAL SYSTEMA visual system was developed to keep the main aspects of the magazine consistent from volume to volume.

DESIGN PROCESS

Front Cover

The cover began as a hand-cut collage, then was refined digitally with the publication's grid and typography.

Table of Contents

Fifteen-minute design sprints explored multiple table of contents concepts, culminating in a unified final spread.

Feature Article

Interview Article

FINAL PUBLICATION
The final publication combines bold visuals, thoughtful pacing, and editorial hierarchy to create an experience that invites exploration from cover to cover.

PULSE BROADCAST Graphic elements from the magazine were animated to create a promotional broadcast that extended the publication beyond print.
