The Narwhal IV

print, layout

The Narwhal is a team of investigative journalists, who dive deep to tell stories about Canada’s natural environment you can’t find anywhere else.

This being the fourth print issue of The Narwhal, working off of a now very solid foundation, we had the opportunity to really push the layouts and have some fun with the design. Like the previous issue three, we introduced a new colour beyond the main brand colours; a sage green. Extra design attention was given to the article opener pages, making each unique to it's content. A new taller, more condensed typeface was introduced for title page headers, allowing for more design flexibility beyond the default brand serif font. Although each title page has it's own design features, the typefaces and brand colours remain steady, creating a consistent visual style throughout. Inspired by the collage/grid-like layout of one of the article opener pages, this grid design was also applied to re-design the table of contents, as well as the memebers page. A few new paragraph highlight styles and pull-quotes, as well as graphic elements add to the visual interest throughout.

Migrant Farmworkers in Ontario during the COVID 19 pandemic - Canada is now the world’s fifth largest food exporter, with about 70 per cent of Ontario’s greenhouse produce leaving the country. At the same time, we’re the world’s sixth largest food importer — 80 per cent of the produce Canadians eat is from elsewhere. -The Narwhal Print Magazine, words by Hilary Beaumont, photos by Christopher Katsarov Luna | www.alicia-carvalho.com

I've been working with Alicia for four years in her capacity as lead designer for The Narwhal's annual print edition magazine. In addition to being a truly creative force, Alicia is also a masterful project manager, which has been most welcome over the years with projects that require both an artful touch and a keen attention for detail. Ten out of ten. You will not regret working with this lovely and very professional human being.
