Response: Travel Issue

The last two weeks have been a crazy mess. Our team worked on more aspects of the magazine than I think we had originally anticipated. With three features (at least originally), department pages, design elements, the table of contents and calendar to design, we had a lot on our plates.

In some ways it was helpful to have four people working on everything - there was clearly a lot to do and delegation was key. But other times it became difficult to find a time for all of us to be free - especially when we depended so heavily on the editors. Working through miscommunications and often with a lack of content and art, we managed to put together our vision for the issue.

We took on a larger role than our usual designer one. (Huge shout out to Tanya and Nicole! They put in a ton of hours with the department designers and had a lot of set backs with their feature, but they handled everything beautifully.)

I am actually really looking forward to tomorrow to see how all of our work turns out.
