The redesign of Impact, Weill Cornell Medicine’s magazine, recently won CASE bronze and is included in the Circle of Excellence for publishing improvement.
From the Judges:
“The magazine drew us in with its striking illustrated covers. Inside, we found a variety of storytelling, from quick and engaging Q&As, infographics, and takes from experts, all accompanied by conceptual art and illustrations and lots of white space. The magazine articles were accessible and of interest to the lay reader, which is not always the case with medical school magazines. Very well done!”
