Overview /
Creative and editorial design leadership across The Week Junior and its parent title The Week, shaping two distinct but connected news brands for different generations of readers.
Both titles are known for balanced reporting, rigorous fact-checking and trusted editorial voices, and the design plays a key role in supporting that clarity and credibility.
For The Week Junior, the focus is on making complex global events clear, balanced and reassuring for young minds, using design to support understanding, curiosity and confidence without overwhelming the reader.
For The Week, the emphasis shifts to clarity, hierarchy and editorial discipline, presenting global news, politics and culture in a structured, highly readable format that respects the pace and expectations of an adult audience.
Across both titles, the aim is the same: make important information easier to understand, navigate and trust, whatever the reader’s age.

Responsibilities span layout design, image commissioning and selection, typography, information hierarchy, and close collaboration with editors and writers to ensure clarity, tone and audience alignment.
