Crohn'sAdvocate Magazine
A unbranded magazine dedicated to those who suffer from Crohn's disease. see crohnsadvocate.com for more information.

Crohn'sAdvocate was created over three years ago in order to bring the community of those suffering from Crohn's disease together. It is an unbranded magazine provided by UCB and their drug Cimzia. I took over art direction in it's fourth issue in 2009. Since then we have grown exponentially and was a 2012 finalist at the Sabre awards. Below you will see three issues highlighted. My responsibilities include searching for local photographers for three custom photoshoots per issue, art directing those shoots, and full layout design. I work directly with the account team and project manager to come up with provocative solutions to the copy they have developed. We are now a quarterly magazine.

Other awards include:
2013 Communicator Award • Silver Award of Distinction -Overall Design Magazine

2012 Magnum Opus Awards · Honorable Mention - Best Medical Publication
2012 Hermes Creative Awards · Platinum – Crohn’sAdvocate Magazine – Publications/Magazine
