Melisma is Tufts University’s premier journal of music. During my tenure I fully redesigned the magazine with a custom wordmark design in Glyphs, spread templates, color palette, type system, and art directed visuals for published article content.

Melisma is defined as a group of notes sung to one syllable of text. Each publication issue features roughly fourteen pieces of research-grounded journalism on the music industry and music production in addition to submissions of art and design. The magazine also actively sends students to attend concerts and write show reviews of artists in the greater Boston area. The custom wordmark was designed in Glyphs and inspired by the geometry of a half note.

Completed with guidance from David Jonathan Ross and Christopher Caldwell.
