“Storied” lives in a modern media ecosystem where readers are presented with large amounts of sophisticated content. We write and design to fit into this modern landscape, understanding we need to appeal to a wide variety of audiences. These three entries provide a peek into the kind of custom storytelling we prize at “Storied.” Our goal is to engage our alumni and donor base, and surprise them with our content. When we plan stories, we consider both the design and written content together as a group, sometimes letting design opportunities lead the type of story we write, and other times where the story dictates the design. It is a fluid process that acknowledges the equal importance of both in engaging the reader.
From the Judges
This is like a fun summer musical hit: Bigger-than-life college sports fans, puppies, and rescued historic art. This package of stories seemed to know its audience very well, and not try to over do it.
