Digital Design/Ebook Development

Indian Country Today Media Network is a national news source for and about Native people in North America. During my time as a designer for Lughstudio, I helped redesign what started as a printed newsletter into a digital weekly e-newsletter.

The Process

We started by researching other digital publications and developing one uniquely suited for ICTMN’s needs. After testing and adjusting multiple iterations, we launched a totally customized e-newsletter that achieved ICTMN’s engagement needs and goals. An e-publication with extended functionality for mobile + tablet.

The responsive design is optimized to accommodate every digital platform to ensure the smoothest possible viewer experience. Our e-Weekly functions like an online magazine—swipe left for the following page, nearly forgetting that you are holding your smart phone instead of the rumpling printed publication.

Furthermore, I had the great opportunity to work alongside the ICTMN editorial team in designing their four quarterly printed magazines.

Throughout the product design process, I learned a lot about working with a team and being an efficient communicator. I also learned about the importance of timelines and time management.
