Jet Fuel Review - Issue 16
During the fall 2018 semester at Lewis University, I partook in the collaborative creation of Jet Fuel Review's 16th issue as Art & Design, Fiction, Nonfiction, and Layout Editor. The following project displays independent and detailed work in layout design of the 16th issue's eBook as well as my work in curating artwork for the journal's art section. Through professionally communicative efforts and persistence, I attained C.Finley, Gavin Smart, and Fabrizio Arrieta's work for the 16th issue. Additionally, Jet Fuel Review's 16th issue received a Pinnacle Award from the College Media Association. See more at jetfuelreview.com.
The Flyer - Volume 40 Issue 6
This project demonstrates my layout design work with The Flyer. As Lead Layout editor, I took charge in laying out the news and tempo sections which consisted of eight pages. Page assembly included usage of Adobe InDesign with image editing completed using Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop. As Lead Layout Editor, I guided my fellow layout editors if they ran into design issues, examined the tiny details in printed copy for small design mishaps, and uploaded and sent PDF copies of the respective sections to the printing press.
KMuse Reviews - Social Media
To supplement the KMuse Reviews blog, I made an Instagram page to assist in bringing readers to the KMuse Reviews website. Throughout the development of the Instagram page, I've added dynamic features such as highlights and stories. Through Canva, the graphic design editor, I built templates for the various types of KMuse Review posts to foster an efficient workflow. Occasionally, I promote posts on Instagram, usually sticking to $10 budgets per promotion and a target audience of 16-25 year olds from around the world. I'm currently working on increasing my following and post engagement and will continue to track developments using Instagram Analytics.
