Art-Directing Killing the Colorado

Matter’s multi-part collaboration with ProPublica was named a Finalist for the 2016 Pulitzer Prize in National Reporting this week. I worked on the story for over a year—as it takes a tremendous amount of work from an entire team to get this close to a Pulitzer. Here is some of what went into it. — April 2014 My first day on the job as Art Director of Matter, then Medium’s flagship publication, was almost exactly two years ago, on Wednesday, April 9th.

It is also rather unwieldy as a publication name to design a logo around—two stubby 3-letter words bracketing the behemoth “D-e-v-e-l-o-p-m-e-n-t.” This didn’t deter us, though, from setting out to create a strong and distinctive visual brand for the new Medium publication. From…

The Story Behind Medium’s New Logo [2015]
