Lubavitch Mesivta Chicago
An editorially designed print newsletter that documents institutional impact, celebrates community life, and communicates long-term value through clear structure, storytelling, and disciplined visual design.

An editorial record of learning, leadership, and community impact

Challenge

Designing a publication that reflects lived impact

This project involved the design of a long-form print newsletter intended to capture the intellectual, spiritual, and communal life of the Mesivta. Rather than functioning as a promotional piece, the publication serves as an editorial record — documenting student achievement, faculty leadership, alumni influence, and moments of shared celebration within the community. The challenge was to present dense, meaningful content in a way that remained readable, respectful, and cohesive. Through careful typographic hierarchy, restrained color use, and thoughtful pacing, the design allows each section — from letters and essays to event coverage and photo documentation — to stand on its own while contributing to a unified narrative.

Institutional Newsletter & Editorial Design

The final newsletter balances structure and warmth, giving equal weight to reflection, documentation, and storytelling. Clear sectioning guides readers through essays, interviews, and visual records without distraction, while consistent design language reinforces credibility and continuity across pages. By treating the publication as an editorial artifact rather than a one-off deliverable, the design supports long-term engagement. It becomes something to revisit, reference, and keep — strengthening trust and reinforcing the institution’s impact beyond a single moment in time.
