Johns Hopkins Carey Business School Magazine
The Johns Hopkins Carey Business School marks a 10 year anniversary this winter. To celebrate Carey’s remarkable achievements during that relatively short period, we teamed with the magazine’s editorial staff to create a special issue featuring four key areas of growth: global reach, faculty, students and collaboration. Color-coded sections include student and faculty profiles, data points and program success stories. Section illustrations are by Scott Roberts; black & white portraits by Howard Korn and Edis Jurcys.

What is the elusive thing that makes a magazine cover both memorable and beautiful? For college and university magazines, covers can be especially difficult to pull off because subject matter varies widely. This challenge makes for a uniquely creative opportunity, yet many alumni magazines miss the chance to stand out from the crowd. How to find that magic balance necessary for a great cover? Here are three ideas.

Above: a range of gallery guide covers from past exhibitions

Museum art exhibitions are generally supported by related events, programs, workshops and lectures. Often, visitors are provided with a brochure for reference during their visit or to take home. Information about the artist, the specific works on display, event listings, and/or maps of the museum or gallery are useful for museum-goers as they navigate an exhibition or as an at-home reminder of their experience. Our job is to distill this information into an economical, disposable, take-away piece that is both useful and attractive.

St. John’s College Alumni Magazine

Penelope, from Homer’s Odyssey, is St. John’s College magazine's cover subject for Fall 2016. Representing “creative thinking” — a popular theme among St. John’s alumni and students — Penelope demonstrates a woman who used ingenious solutions to achieve her goals. Other stories tell of alumni who use their skills and creativity to start successful businesses. Cover illustration is by Thomas Ehretsmann.

“I took the recent edition of The College home and read it from cover to cover – all 49 pages. Truly, this is the best edition I have seen and felt (love the paper texture and weight) in the eight years I’ve been with the college.”  

Torii Campbell, Associate Director of Alumni Relations, St. John's College

Museums: Art in the Classroom

The Barnes Foundation classroom resource binders

The Barnes Foundation classroom resource binders

How do museums expand their educational outreach? How do they make a difference in their communities? How do they inspire children to care about art and see it as relevant to their lives? Outreach can be more than school field trips and weekend family activities. By bringing museum collections into the classroom, a child’s life can be connected to art in a long-lasting and meaningful way.

The logo sets the stage.

A logo is the distilled symbol of a brand. It is the core around which a visual identity is built. The color, typography, and overall tone of a graphic identity system take their cues from the logo. This is not to say that all colors or typefaces must match those in the logo. In fact, a logo can have more impact when juxtaposed with contrasting or compatible design elements.
