Design help for a philosophy magazine

Philosophie Magazine brings philosophy to the news of the day. We helped with the design of its website, where long reads and daily pieces share one front page.

The brief

A philosophy magazine online has two jobs at once. It has to feel calm enough for a long essay and quick enough for today’s piece. The front page carries both.

What we did

We helped with the design. Type, hierarchy and the layout of the front page, so a reader can tell at a glance what is new, what is worth slowing down for, and what is in this month’s issue.

How it went

We worked alongside the magazine’s own team. Requests came in one at a time, we sent designs back, and the loop kept going until the pages felt right.
