The Oaklandside


Role: Brand consultation, art direction, brand identity, design & illustration

“Journalism for Oakland. We’re a small but mighty team of local journalists working for Oakland. We amplify community voices, share the power of real information, and investigate systems, not just symptoms. The Oaklandside’s community-centered approach and commitment to reporting for underserved local communities, not only about these communities, is guided by the work of a number of other civic journalism organizations in the Bay Area and around the country.”


Working directly with the editor and journalism team was tasked to come up with logo mark and a brand identity that reflects the vibrant community and paying homage to the cultural landmarks of Oakland.
