American Geophysical Union / Editorial design
Space Weather
Quarterly.
Making space science readable without making it ordinary.
01 / Radiation Belt Storm Probes
A way into
the science.
A strong visual entry point for a story about the space around Earth.
The editorial idea
Draw readers in.
Give the science room.
The cover introduces the subject through a single image. Inside, the feature opener gives way to a quieter page of text, figures, and captions.
My role
Cover concepts, image compositing,
and feature layouts.
I developed recurring covers and feature layouts for Space Weather Quarterly, bringing together scientific imagery, typography, and editorial content.
From first impression
to close reading.
The opening image establishes the subject. The following page carries the article through a consistent grid, figure placement, and caption hierarchy.
02 / Small Satellites
Putting scale
into the picture.
A satellite and a familiar human gesture give readers an immediate sense of scale. The illustration and headline lead into the article across a two-page spread.
More ways into the story.
Different subjects call for different visual starting points.
Educating the Next Generation
A cover built around curiosity and discovery.
The Sun’s Wrath at Mercury
A planetary subject carried from cover to feature.
Design contribution
Editorial concepts, image composition, typography, and page layout.
