One of those assignments that you make a million options for. I wasn’t sure how much they wanted to weigh the ideas of Aids, Religion, Hopeful, Death, Pride etc.
Some options I designed.
Recently it won the Peabody!

Style was designed by me in 2024 for all the different Trump trials, with a photocopy-esque effect to represent all the legal paperwork.

For this series, I wanted each piece to be slightly unique, unlike some of our previous Advice columns on Slate. For a happier, more vibrate feeling, I went with color-drenching and a photocopy texture combined with office org charts and diagrams.
Slate’s previous office advice column “Direct Report” utilized collage in a very chaotic way, which IMO sometimes didn’t lend itself to the feeling of advice or orderly thought. And the black and white with blue and pink punches gave it a polarizing-almost political effect, which I steered clear of.
Style concept for series on “Keeping Up With the Supreme Court.“
