tabloid Spread
A tabloid and mobile Spread inspired by an interview with Kate Bingaman–Burt.
Problem:
Turn a long, text heavy interview with Kate Bingaman Burt into an experience that feels as approachable and energetic as she is, in both print and mobile.
Solution:
Designed a tabloid layout and mobile site with strong type hierarchy, pull quotes, and image driven spreads that keep the story clear and playful.
Impact:
Made the interview feel readable, personal, and fun while highlighting Kate’s work as a teacher, illustrator, and community builder.
My Role:
Interview prep, content editing, visual direction, typography, tabloid layout, and mobile UX.
Project Overview
Process
I started by preparing questions, conducting the interview, and editing the transcript into clear sections. From there I sketched and built many different versions of the tabloid, saving over a dozen layout variations as I tested grids, type scales, and image placement. Once the pacing felt right, I translated that structure into mobile wireframes and hi fi screens that kept the same rhythm and emphasis on Kate’s voice.

Moving Forward
Editing Kate’s interview taught me how to shape a long conversation into a clear story without losing her humor, honesty, or energy.
I also learned the value of trying many variations before deciding what stays. Each new layout showed me something about pacing, hierarchy, and how readers move through a page or screen. It reminded me that good design often comes from small, patient changes rather than one big idea.
Moving forward, I want to keep building projects that center real voices and lived experiences. This interview made me excited to create more designer features that live in both print and digital spaces. I hope to keep refining this system and grow it into a larger series that celebrates creative communities the way Kate does.
