  Topic Magazine

Topic is a quarterly magazine of first-person nonfictional stories on a revolving theme. The magazine has featured notable writers, great photographers, and innovative, often unusual voices from a monkey mother to a death-row inmate. After redesigning and relaunching the magazine, we became board members and co-creative directors of Topic, guiding the creation of a content-rich website, curating launch parties and readings, and forming partnerships with advertisers, sponsors, and media outlets. The award-winning design and original format has garnered praise from The New York Times, The New Yorker, W magazine, and many others. In 2006, Topic was invited to take part in P.S.1's "Fine Print" series, the New York AIGA's "Fresh Dialogues: Making Magazines," and the Visionaire Gallery's traveling survey of alternative publications, "The Last Magazine."
