Medical journal cover redesign

 In December 2024, I was tasked with redesigning the cover of a Q1 medical research journal named the International Journal of Dermatology.

Their organization had just undergone a rebranding, shifting from the traditional image the global dermatology community grew to recognize over six decades to a more modern, lively look that maintains the principles of professionalism and simplicity.

As the quality of figures or clinical images suitable to be on the cover varies monthly, it was important for the design to be easily adaptable. I relied on the brand guide the organization provided, and during the approval process, implemented minor revisions requested by the stakeholders.

Given the several groups involved in decision making and the expected launch date of January 2025, I worked with a short deadline, and I was able to fulfill the client’s expectations.
