At the April UW Design Community session, the design team at the UW–Madison Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies shared the story behind the redesign of The Commons, the institute’s flagship publication. The team shared their creative process, editorial and visual strategy, and the decisions that shaped a refreshed look and feel for the magazine.

In case you missed it

Watch the recording (coming soon) for a behind-the-scenes conversation about design, storytelling, and building a publication that reflects the Nelson Institute’s mission and community.
