Mississippi Association for Justice: Editorial

The Mississippi Association for Justice publishes Voir Dire, a magazine that brings association stories, member information and long-form legal content together. Those are very different kinds of reading, and the publication needs a structure that holds them in one place. The brief on this page was to keep the established Voir Dire masthead recognizable, pair a strong photographic cover with disciplined contents and interior navigation, and maintain hierarchy across dense text and recurring member information.

The artwork shows a cover and its table of contents on a deep teal background. The cover keeps the large serif Voir Dire masthead with the association name above it, laid over a bright outdoor photograph of a family and their dog on a lawn in front of a white columned house. The contents page uses the same serif masthead at a smaller size, a narrow sidebar column of section listings and a clear “Table of Contents” heading over the main list of articles and page numbers. The cover invites browsing, while the contents page gives readers a quick way into longer pieces.

1. Keep the established Voir Dire masthead recognizable.

2. Pair a strong photographic cover with disciplined contents and interior navigation.

3. Maintain hierarchy across dense text and recurring member information.
