We designed a custom microsite for the new issue of Columbia Engineering, about the onslaught of data in the information age.

NOVEMBER 21, 2023

We recently launched a striking new design for Finance & Development, the quarterly magazine of the International Monetary Fund.

Over the past decade, the online news journal Religion & Politics has doggedly and expansively covered the two topics thought unfit for polite company. We designed a beautiful anthology to celebrate their tenth anniversary.

We collaborated with Frost Creative to develop and launch the first all-digital issue of Columbia Engineering.

Point Five provided a full website redesign for the Center, from strategy through development and launch.

We are thrilled to share our latest project: the first ever all-digital, multimedia issue of Columbia Journalism Review.

In addition to winning a 2020 Webby, the Knight First Amendment Institute website has received four recent awards from Davey, Communicator, and W3.

Three artists we commissioned for Columbia Journalism Review have been selected for American Illustration 39. Two pieces by Jackie Ferrentino and one by Jon Han will appear in the print collection, and a piece by Axel Rangel Garcia will appear online.

Point Five and our collaborators received merit awards for our work on four client projects at the Society of Publication Designers 55th Annual Design Competition. Columbia Journalism Review, Harvard Divinity Bulletin, Seek, and PCMA Convene were all awarded. Gratitude to our clients, collaborators, and the artists who contributed their excellent work to these titles!

We’re proud to launch a redesigned magazine for Stanford Business, the alumni publication of the Stanford Graduate School of Business.

Seek, the science research magazine from The Rockefeller University, won a silver award in the Editorial Design category from CASE (Council for the Advancement and Support of Education).

Point Five and our wonderful collaborators received several honors for our work on Columbia Journalism Review at the Society of Publication Designers 54th Annual Design Competition. Pictured: The Threats Issue, cover and opener art by Melinda Beck.

Columbia Journalism Review is a finalist for the 2019 National Magazine Award for General Excellence—the most prestigious honor given by the American Society of Magazine Editors.

The Perception Issue of Columbia Journalism Review explores “what the press looks like from the outside—and what we misread about ourselves.” Thinking about the subjective nature of perception guided our experimental approach to this issue’s art direction: we gave six very different artists an open-ended prompt to depict how the press is perceived. Artists: Edmon de Haro, Serge Bloch, Ellen Weinstein, Vivienne Flesher, Dadu Shin, Lincoln Agnew

A Sense of Place: Our February issue of PCMA Convene is here. We just love the scenes JooHee Yoon created for the cover and opener.
