Wellness Magazine

$0.00

Professional: The White Plains ‘Youth Bureau’ health and wellness magazine. It contained articles to promote healthy habits and exercises. I had worked on the templates, the typography, the design and putting everything together.

Produced a polished, youth-focused wellness magazine for the White Plains Youth Bureau. Responsibilities and highlights:

  • Editorial concept and structure: Developed a clear, scalable magazine framework prioritizing accessibility and engagement for teens and families. Organized content into themed sections (Nutrition, Fitness, Mental Health, Community Resources) to guide readers through progressive health topics.

  • Templates and layout systems: Designed reusable page templates for feature articles, quick tips, how-to guides, and resource listings. Created modular grids and master pages to ensure visual consistency across issues while allowing editorial flexibility.

  • Typography and hierarchy: Selected a clean, legible type system optimized for print and digital distribution. Established a clear typographic hierarchy—headline, subhead, deck, body copy, captions—to improve scanability and comprehension for young readers.

  • Visual design and brand alignment: Defined a modern, approachable aesthetic with energetic color accents, friendly iconography, and inclusive photography choices. Ensured all visual elements reinforced the Youth Bureau’s professional yet accessible tone.

  • Content integration and editorial flow: Collaborated with writers and health professionals to sequence articles logically, balancing longer features with quick, actionable sidebars and exercise step-by-steps. Implemented pull quotes, callouts, and checklist elements to increase retention and motivate behavior change.

  • Accessibility and readability: Applied contrast, font sizing, and spacing best practices to support readers with varying levels of literacy and visual needs. Prepared export settings for high-quality print and optimized PDFs for screen reading.

  • Production and delivery: Managed prepress checks, color profiling, and print specifications. Delivered final files on deadline, coordinating with printers and the Youth Bureau’s communications team to ensure accurate reproduction and distribution.

Result: A cohesive, user-centered health and wellness magazine that promoted healthy habits and exercise in an engaging, youth-appropriate format—on brand for the White Plains Youth Bureau and ready for ongoing publication.
