03 Print and digital layouts share one editorial rhythm.

Visual system

Each project gets room for atmosphere, detail, process, and final work.

The case study format now supports a richer visual sequence, so project pages can behave more like designed stories than text pages with one cover image.

Brief

Create a visual identity and website system for Manoa Now that can support campus stories, editorial categories, and changing content needs.

Concept

The identity treats the publication as an active editorial platform: flexible, organized, and built for regular publishing.

System

The project can include a logo system, article templates, homepage modules, category treatments, and social graphics.

Outcome

This page should show how identity and website structure can make a publication feel more coherent and easier to maintain.
