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.
