Radcliffe Institute: A Gift from a Friend

New Work
 

Radcliffe Magazine, one of our newest clients, is a gift.

First, and in the most obvious way, it's a gift because they — our collaborators Pat Harrison, Ivelisse Estrada, and Jess Brilli — graciously allow us to do what we love to do. (They are loads of fun to work with, too). 

It’s a gift because we get to represent one of the most enduring and influential institutions in the world (Radcliffe is Harvard’s institute for advanced study).

But even more so, it was a gift from our esteemed colleague and friend Ronn Campisi, who had been the magazine's creative director for years, and whose beautifully-crafted and intricate template we inherited and had the good fortune of working with for our first issue. It was Ronn who recommended us for the job.

The only sad part is that the magazine is only published biannually, because we're ready to do it again. (Now!)

[Special thanks to our contributors: Harry Campbell, Matt Kalinowski, Tim Llewellyn, Bob O'Connor, and Dana Smith]
