St. Lawrence College’s annual magazine is distributed to over 50,000 alumni and friends of the college. In 2018, we redesigned the publication with the goal of making it more fun, dynamic, and relevant to their increasingly young and diverse audience. We gave it a fresh and modern makeover with bright layouts, bold fonts and playful illustrations peppered throughout. We continue to work with the college annually on the magazine, bringing in a talented mix of illustrators and photographers to elevate Voyageur’s stories and the people they profile.
“We are beyond excited about the work Studio Wyse team has done with our Alumni magazine. Never before have we had so many calls and letters from graduates who told us how much they enjoyed the issue (and suggestions for topics in future issues). We finally have a magazine that reflects our graduates: interesting, eclectic, warm and engaging. And we couldn’t have done it without the amazing team at Wyse, who could tell what we were looking for, even when we couldn’t always describe it. The alumni magazine represents a huge chunk of our budget, and with the help of Studio Wyse, there is no question that it leverages our tiny Alumni team’s efforts to reach graduates in an effective and engaging way, PLUS it is now being used by our campus partners to showcase the impact our College has on our communities through the stories of our grads.”

Ryerson University Magazine connects alumni, donors, staff, and students to the inspiring stories coming out of the school.
In 2017, we collaborated with their internal team on a redesign of the magazine, reimagining its visual language as something more contemporary, allowing the stories—and the university—to shine. Since then, each issue of the biannual publication has delved into important issues, highlighted innovative work, profiled members of the Ryerson community, and celebrated the university’s successes—all while capturing its progressive nature, vibrant energy, and inclusive spirit.
We bring in a diverse group of photographers and illustrators for each issue - from internationally acclaimed artists to up-and-coming Ryerson grads. Here are some of the amazing people we've worked with to bring Ryerson's stories to life:
Machine Learning and the Market for Intelligence is a conference by the Creative Destruction Lab, hosted at the Rotman School of Management. For its fifth annual event, they approached us to design their conference book, agenda, and tote bag.
George & Co is a content studio and consultancy led by Lianne George. Studio Wyse supported them through their launch, which included developing a brand system, business cards, website, and launch campaign.
The Creative Destruction Lab is a seed-stage program for massively scalable, science-based companies, run out of the University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management. For the second year in a row, we helped them compile their Year-in-Review book which was given out to all volunteers, participants and delegates at their annual Super Session event.
The Autumn 2019 issue of the University of Toronto Magazine focused heavily on migration.
The cover story was photographed by Brett Gundlock, who followed two families on an outing to Toronto’s Centre Island—one family are Syrian refugees, the other provided private sponsorship.
Gracia Lam illustrated a series of work to accompany a feature on Toronto’s sanctuary city policy (and it’s pitfalls) as it relates to health care, employment, detainment, housing and education.
Nick Iwanyshyn took a photo of a photo of Rodney Bobiwash, an activist who fought tirelessly for the rights of indigenous people.
Plus brilliant contributions by Adam Hale (aka The Daily Splice), Narisa Ladak, Hamin Lee, Jennifer Roberts, David Sparshott, and Albert Tercero.
