UC Magazine Website
From the Nominator
Our team takes an intentional and collaborative approach to delivering a digital version of our magazine that is beautiful, informative and inspiring. The September 2019 edition is highlighted by the stunning presentation of a powerful human-interest story called "Lessons in Love" in which we detail an incredible international relationship between our university and three remote villages in Tanzania. We struggled with how best to design and present the longest feature story that's ever run in our magazine. In the end, the continuous presentation of three stories in one—all in one long scroll—we think kept readers heavily engaged in a massive amount of content. The story and multimedia were among the best we've ever had, and we hope the digital presentation was nearly as breathtaking as the actual experience.
From the Judges
We were awed by the photography and stayed for the content. The images and the design were so sharp and engaging; they draw the viewer in. It's hard to imagine that anyone could click on the magazine and not scroll through the various features. This is a great example of a magazine that truly takes advantage of the possibilities that the digital format allows.
