Quarterly Magazine

EARTHJUSTICE

For over eight years, Xuanlana art directed and led the production of the Earthjustice quarterly magazine with a circulation of 100k and growing. She worked with the Earthjustice Editorial, Photo, Design teams—as well as proofreaders, printers, illustrators, and photographers to produce a high-quality, high volume magazine over a three month production cycle

From initial story pitches to art assignments all the way through rigorous internal review and approvals, including fact-checking, proofreading, proofing, and press check, Xuanlana would lead and align an ever evolving team of creative producers to create a 36 page full-color magazine that helped reinforce and expand the organization’s voice as the expert in environmental policy.

In contextualizing the most high-profile, contentious, and often complex issues in our time around climate and environmental justice, Xuanlana had to engage particular considerations around ethical storytelling and often distillation of dense content.
