As you make your way through the current issue of Fra Noi, enjoying page after page of well-written, informative and engaging articles, please pause this time around to appreciate how expertly those pages are put together. Check out the row of eye-catching photos on the cover, the orderly accounting of features in the table of contents, the clearly delineated folios at the top and bottom of each page, and the inviting styles and sizes of the various typefaces throughout.
Each of those has been carefully crafted to grab your attention, point you in the right direction, let you know where you are and draw you into the reading experience. There’s an art and a science to publication design, and we’re beyond lucky to have a master of that profession in our creative director, Mary Racila. I may be the public face of Fra Noi, but Mary is just as pivotal to our success, and she has been with the magazine almost as long as I have.
