Migrant Insider, a digital publication focused on issues impacting migrant communities, has unveiled a comprehensive visual redesign led by Houston-based designer Roque Strew. The new look features a sharper, more uncluttered aesthetic with bolder use of the publication's signature maroon, orange, and gray color palette. The wordmark and profile icon have also been refined to create a cleaner, more professional appearance that the team believes better aligns with Migrant Insider's identity as a digital newsroom rather than a traditional newsletter.
