Field Meridians Observer
Field Meridians
Newspaper
2026
Design and art direction for the Field Meridians Observer, a quarterly neighborhood tabloid newspaper highlighting local news, ecosystems, and multispecies. The Observer is published at the turn of each season and distributed for free to the Crown Heights community. Our first issue is tied to the winter solstice: inside, find a warming soup recipe, the joy of winter birding, and a calendar of the season’s best activities round a snail’s snowy shell. Printed in black and an orange spot color.

Find a copy at your favorite Crown Heights spot and at the Brower Park Library.
