Project Overview

THOR Digital embarked on a comprehensive redesign and digital transformation for ABC's Construction Executive, elevating both the print and online experience. The project began with a meticulous print redesign, refreshing layout, typography, and imagery to prioritize readability, editorial coherence, and visual appeal. The revitalized print edition strengthened the publication's brand identity and reinforced its status as a leading construction industry resource.
