Foreign Affairs Redesign

Foreign Affairs is an American magazine that focuses on international relations and foreign policy with both a digital and physical subscription. They have 955,000 unique monthly visitors to their digital site and 2.1 million monthly page views. They had never had a product designer work on the site so my first contract was to do preliminary research and after a year, I redesigned the entire site.

Research -Interviewed current users -Conducted usability tests on both current and new users -Comparison studies -Rapid prototyping
