There are still plenty copies of the current edition of First Alaskans, but I’m busy plugging away at the next issue. Before it’s replaced with the next edition, I wanted to share some of my favorite pages. We gave the magazine a mini design facelift this edition with one new font and a few eliminated to streamline the look and make the design cleaner, more modern. You might also notice new department labels that display the word “Our” in a circle, one of many little changes as the magazine truly makes itself at home with First Alaskans Institute’s vision. Instead of “Traditional Food” and “Native health” new department labels speak like an insider, not observer of Alaska Native culture — Our Culture, Our Health, etc. I’m continually proud of the work we do here with this publication. Now back to get back to designing the next edition!
I’ve been to Washington D.C. three times in my life, and it’s just as beautiful every time. When I go there I feel so connected to history, our nation’s government and things I usually only read about. The weather was perfect while we were there, warm, but not too hot for these cold-blooded Alaskans. We spent one evening wandering the mall and photographing everything in sight.
