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.
