OVERVIEW
The goal of Ethisphere Magazine was not just to redesign a renowned business ethics magazine. A new identity, new layouts, and new content were all needed. Still, something else was missing—it didn’t just need a makeover; it required a certain kind of reincarnation—same soul, different spiritual body.
What separates Cory from other designers is how he engages with his clients and his approach to process. Cory digs into his clients’ industries, learns about their markets, and ultimately serves as a true partner in creating a product that both looks good and, perhaps more importantly, resonates with the clients’ own audiences and customers. - Stefan Linssen, Publisher, Ethisphere Magazine
The concept was to approach ethics and compliance through a fun, satirical visual lens. While such topics can often feel dry and unengaging, reframing them in a creative and unexpected way transformed legal matters from something to be endured into something to be experienced.
