Hi. I'm Alex Miller
// editorial designer //

     
I lay out the front page of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, and I've been creating eye-catching news pages for the past decade at the Chattanooga Times Free Press, The Daytona Beach News-Journal and the Hawaii Tribune-Herald.  I've also served as design chief for Fifth Wednesday Journal, an influential literary magazine out of Chicago.

PITTSBURGH POST-GAZETTE

The editors of The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette expect clean, well organized pages without a lot of special effects or fancy headline treatments. It's an exercise in wringing the most out of the fundamental elements of news design -- photography and typography.

CHATTANOOGA TIMES FREE PRESS

Chattanooga's daily newspaper has embraced design wholeheartedly. The editors give their designers the tools and freedom they need to do great work. As a result, the Times Free Press is one of those rare newspapers that actually looks fun to read.

FIFTH WEDNESDAY JOURNAL

I served as chief of design for Fifth Wednesday Journal for two years and had the honor of collaborating with a talented group of writers and photographers. I overhauled the design of the journal with the aim of presenting the literary works within it with the seriousness and sophistication they deserved.

This is the cover I designed for the Fall 2016 issue. The photo wrapping across the front and back panels is by Michelle Litvin, a Midwest photographer whose work is influenced by her interest in Daoism, tai chi and Japanese tea traditions.

SO MANY PAGES!

Here are some of my best pages from the Chattanooga Times Free Press, The Daytona Beach News-Journal and Hawaii Tribune-Herald.
