BarronsChris Mihal, the editorial design director at Barron’s, sent out the following announcement on Monday:

Hello,

As many of you know, the Art Department is in the middle of a major transition to a digital-first workflow. While it’s been a difficult process, it has been a necessary one. I’m excited to welcome a new group of designers, who I believe bring the skills and experience we need to produce smart, engaging visuals and help position Barron’s for the future.

One member of the team (Zak) has been here for a couple weeks now; and four new members start on Monday, March 19th.

Zak Bickel, Art Director

Zak comes from The Atlantic where he was an Associate Art Director designing features as well as front-of-the-book and back-of-the-book pages. Prior to that he was at The Washington Post Express and did internships at Food Network Magazine and The New Republic.
