Second redesign for BirdScope, the newsletter of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology (2009-2012). With this redesign, the goal was to use more color while keeping costs down.

I created the new design, and did layout, photo adjustment, and photo extraction/montage for many issues, but also supervised other designers who created subsequent issues using this template.
