Our redesign for The Bridge, the alumni magazine of Messiah College, is off press and in the mail as of September 15. Our mission was to give the magazine a fresh new look, including a new size, a new paper stock, more emphasis on good photography and illustration, and a new typographic identity. We’re pleased with the final product and await feedback from Messiah alums.
