The Arch: Bond University

The Arch is Bond University's bi-annual alumni magazine — a publication that had good bones but needed a visual transformation to match the quality of its editorial content.

Studio Joel redesigned the magazine across Editions 26 and 27, establishing a new design direction and handing off a clear system for Edition 28 onwards. The transformation was recognised with a Silver award in the Circle of Excellence from CASE (Council for Advancement and Support of Education) — the peak international body for university communications.

The judges described the work as having "ample readability, classic but creative typography, and a subdued colour palette," noting the generous use of white space to draw readers into the subject matter.

It's a reminder that good editorial design isn't about decoration — it's about creating conditions in which content can do its job.
