ROGER SHORT MEMORIAL FUND NEWSLETTER 2025

This scholarship fund enables current University College, Oxford University students to travel to Turkey to foster cultural understanding and create lasting connections with the region. Distributed annually to donors, past and present Short Travelers, and other interested parties, the newsletter includes descriptions of the upcoming Short Travelers' itineraries, excerpts from last year's Short Travelers' journals with photos, as well as information and updates on the program itself. In recent years, the newsletter has been expanded from 4 spreads to 6 in order to incorporate all the beautiful photography submitted from the Travelers. For the fifth year in a row, I was asked to design the RSMF Newsletter. The three column grid system works well in this format as there is a lot of body copy and it helps the text heavy material feel approachable and legible. With the images spread throughout, I work to create a newsletter that is inviting and a pleasure to read and look at — maybe even something past RSMF Travelers might keep.

WHAT IS A MEMORY?

Unpublished book project written and illustrated by Gabriella Svenningsen and winner of the Tassy Walden Award - New Voices in Children’s Literature 2020. I typeset the copy and worked with the author to edit the illustrations as needed. Keeping in mind the young audience, I chose a slab serif typeface which is easy to read but does not compete with the charming illustrations.

LUNCH WITH LEONARDO

Invitation and menu for a fictional lunch with Leonardo da Vinci, held at the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum, New York. Inspired by the typographic treatments of the Italian Renaissance, the invitation breaks the information between the two sides of the vellum, the transparency of which allows a nod to Leonardo's famous backwards handwriting.
