The Chronicles of Now
We partnered directly with TCoN’s founder to bring his vision to life through gorgeous design.
Chronicles of Now is a publication featuring short fiction written rapidly in response to current events: A new way of understanding the headlines, stories, and people shaping our world.
- Helped map and design a site that was not only a new publication, but a new type of publication
- Integrated subscription management software
- Post-launch, cloned and repurposed the site for use as a nonprofit therapy tool
Founder Tyler Cabot approached us with the ambitious vision of building an entirely new publication. Our friends Works Well With Others created a sharp visual identity and logo treatment, and our job was to integrate that into a structure reminiscent of a news site while maintaining the editorial quality of a print magazine.
We created a design inspired by traditional magazine and newspaper style – free of ads and clutter. We integrated beautiful hand-drawn illustrations by Joe McKendry with cute callouts. The design is stark, clean, and readable, allowing the top-class writing to shine.
