YES Magazine

I designed this concept for the Saint Louis Science Center's YES Program. The goal was to spread word about the program, create collaboration opportunities, and showcase the classes for grants/donors.

Process: After identifying the document needs with the Senior Director, I collaborated with my fellow educators to write blurbs about each class. I applied the program's branding & colors to an InDesign template then added verbiage and photos. The photos were taken by my media production class, then I edited them in Photoshop to make them pop (touchup, color correction, cropping).

The Basics of SnagIt

I was introduced to SnagIt in a Master's course and instantly took a liking to it. I made this learning aid for my classmates to use a resource. My goals were to highlight the software's main features, link to relevant training, and try new design techniques.

Process: SnagIt already had some decent documentation on their website, so I focused on creating a more accessible hub for that information. I began by simplifying blurbs from their site and placing them into an InDesign template. I created some quick typography, added the logo, and captured the animated gifs using a software called ScreentoGif. Lastly, I added training hyperlinks to the section headers.

Exploring Identity in the Anonymous Web

Another "magazine" design I created for a final project in a Master's course. At the end of each semester, Fontbonne showcases some of their students' best work in the hallways; my project was chosen, which made me smile.

Process: After some extensive research and notetaking, I began with a simple InDesign template. I adjusted the layout, spacing, and fonts to create a clean, stylized experience for readers. I entered my text, paying close attention to spacing and readability. Then I added royalty-free photos to drive my points home.
