Journalist Brand

Three identity directions

Three logo systems for a personal brand with editorial weight, designed to feel at home across reporting, institutions, conferences, and the public record.

Review the brief

The assignment

Build a cohesive identity for a journalist and policy professional, one that reads like an established publication, yet remains unmistakably personal.

The system must move confidently between Instagram, LinkedIn, a website, media kits, business cards, presentations, and conference materials.

The shared visual principles are clean grids, generous whitespace, strong typography, restrained color, and an editorial point of view.

The Index

A modular system of editorial rules and interruptions. The stepped negative space suggests evidence being surfaced, ordered, and made legible.
