A-Line Magazine was a digital publishing project for CityBeat in Cincinnati.
Editorial structure
The goal was to support a new women-focused magazine with a site that felt editorial, clear, and easy to move through.
My work centered on art direction, UX, information architecture, and interaction design. We spent most of the time on structure: categories, article templates, and metadata that helped readers keep moving between related stories.
At that point, article pages were already becoming the main entry path from search and social, so we designed around that behavior instead of forcing people through a traditional homepage flow.
Publishing workflow
The wireframes helped us test content rhythm early and keep the publishing model practical for an editorial team.
The publication eventually closed after ownership changes, but the design system carried forward into the next publication setup.
