Our archive scans are poor. Can they be used?

Often, yes. We can correct cast, contrast and dust, and we will scale an image to the size it can actually carry. What cannot be fixed is resolution that was never captured — we will tell you which images to re-scan.

Class notes run to thousands of words. How is that handled?

As its own designed system: a tighter grid, a smaller type size that is still comfortable, and clear year markers so a reader finds their cohort in seconds. It is treated as a feature of the magazine, not an appendix.

Alumni magazine design

An alumni magazine has to work across sixty years of readership at once — a recent leaver and someone who graduated in 1968 opening the same issue. It also has to carry class notes, which are the most-read and least-designed pages in the whole publication.

Archive photography is usually part of the job: scans of varying quality, uncredited prints, and a handful of genuinely good images that deserve a full page. Deciding which is which is most of the work.

Issue launch kit

The posts that launch your issue, made from it and in its design, in your name and your voice: a cover reveal for the feed and stories, a LinkedIn carousel of the main idea, quote cards, a chart card and a note for WhatsApp, each with a suggested caption. Nothing on them mentions us.

Issue launch kit: about 10 pieces, US$99 (₹6,000 in India) per issue.

A sample kit for Jharokha, Issue 01. Rukmini Sethna, her company and every figure are fictional; the photographs are licensed stock. See the whole kit.
