Well it’s official: I am going to be the next Art Director of Pacific Rim Magazine.
While I still prefer book design to magazines, there is a lot more creative freedom in working with publications that are intended to be visually appealing as well as engaging to read. Work hasn’t even begun yet on the 2012 issue, but I am already tingling with equal parts anxiety and excitement to set off on this new journey.
I am currently working on touching up some portfolio pieces which will be going up (hopefully pretty soon) on this site, including the logo I recently designed for Writer Unboxed, the winning entry from their logo design contest. I am absolutely thrilled that my design was chosen! I love the blog and am so happy to be able to contribute to a site that has been such an amazing resource to me for the past several years.
For anyone interested in writing, I highly recommend you head over there and check them out. While you’re at it, why not subscribe their new newsletter that will be launched in March? I am going to be featured in it with a Q+A about book design in self-publishing.
