HKS Magazine

Alumni magazine for
the Harvard Kennedy School

The Harvard Kennedy School Magazine comes out twice a year. During my three years as a graphic designer for the communications office, I worked on art direction, design, and production work for a wide range of feature stories on alumni and faculty, and developed templates for recurring sections like Class Notes.



Summer 2019 Issue: Lead art direction of cover art and corresponding feature spread (magazine work in collaboration with the HKS editorial team, the design director, and the cover illustrator for this issue, Israel Vargas).




Summer 2021 Issue: Lead art direction of cover art and corresponding feature spread (magazine work in collaboration with the HKS editorial team, the design director, and the cover illustrator for this issue, Ben Wiseman).



Spring 2019 Issue: Lead art direction of cover art and corresponding feature spread (magazine work in collaboration with the HKS editorial team, the design director, and the cover illustrator for this issue, Christian Northeast).
