Samples from my 2017 layout design for National AMBUCS' summer magazine. In its entirety, the magazine was over 30 pages, of which I was the sole designer. I focused on branding while implementing fresh, modern designs through typography and negative space.

Also featured in this section are samples of my work as Layout Editor of The Greenleaf Review in 2015 and 2016. I designed and created a 52 page literary magazine using Adobe InDesign and Adobe Photoshop, which included deciding on font, front cover design, and piece pairings. I organized layout meetings to introduce and involve members of the staff to design processes. Communicated with printer to ensure optimal production of the magazine, which included discussions of color, printing material choice, and document dimensions. Paired art, poetry, and prose pieces to create a visually and thematically cohesive magazine.
