Kevin Chen

Creative Director of Volume 55 of The New Journal, a student magazine that publishes creative non-fiction about Yale and New Haven. The New Journal was named the “Best Student Magazine in the Country” by the Society of Professional Journalists in 2021.

I redesigned the entire editorial design system (typography, layouts, templates) and designed most spreads in the first four issues. I revived and redesigned the original serif wordmark. I coordinated layout, illustration, and photography direction, and managed a team of six designers.
