An incredibly enthusiastic go-getter ready to tackle whatever the world throws at me. I am thrilled to have discovered my passion for advertising and the graphic communication industry, especially print and graphic design. I have had great opportunities to obtain hands on experience working in the industry at Cedar Graphics, an award winning print company and leader in the industry. Social media marketing has been a new found love and led me to believe it will provide an incredible career path. I have gained outstanding professional experience by working in higher education, in this facet at the University of Northern Iowa. As a graduate with a Bachelor’s Degree in Graphic Technologies and minors in Marketing and Art, I am excited to dive into an industry and get my hands dirty. It is important to me to expand my capabilites and use my current skills at a company that fuels my passion and continually challenges me, a place that strays from monotony and caters to a work/life balance. As you will see, this portfolio is full of examples of what I have learned and the application of the knowledge I have gained thus far.

U.S. National Parks

I have a passion for traveling and discovering

the world from a different perspective through the lens of a

camera. I especially enjoy photographing

architecture and landscapes. Finding the perfect shot is always a

challenge when working outdoors. Discovering

the ideal shutter-speed, aperture and settings

for the camera certainly pay off. These photos

are taken from my trip to Southern Italy as well as

National Parks across the Western United States.

Unlike shooting outdoors taking photos indoors

working in a light room has its own challenges. Ideal

photos produced had a white background without the use

of Photoshop. A few hundred shots later did the trick. While

I was working for Cedar Graphics, a print company

I had the opportunity to compose and produce product shots for their

portfolio to integrate onto their website. The purpose

was to showcase not only the award-winning printing

but also the various types of folds and die-cuts available to

customers.

The original design appeared in 1926when Gill Sans painted a bookshop fascia

in sans-serif capitals for owner DouglasCleverdon. Gill was a well known sculptor,graphic artist and type designer. Gill's aimwas to blend the influences of classic serif

typefaces and Roman inscriptions to create adesign that looked both cleanly modern and

traditional at the same time. The typeface was intended to be a display and text typeface.The popularity of Gill Sans influenced many

other typefaces, and helped to define the genreof the humanist sans-serif.

It is great to be able to create concepts for events, and design promotional pieces to accompany them which was an experience I gained through the Campus Activities Board.

I have had numerous opportunities to design apparel, mainly though clubs as well as some freelance. Designing for clients can be challenging at times but also great since you are often given more guidance and direction. I love being able to showcase things that I have designed by wearing them around.

Ski racing is on the radar here in the States once every four years when Olympic medals are handed out. There are exceptions to the rule, though: the star power of Lindsey Vonn, the maverick style of Bode Miller and Ted Ligety, One of the country’s most successful skiers of all time. It’s Ligety we’ve chosen for the cover story of this month (page 26),

Magazine Dissection

Carefully dissected a well designed magazine and produced a booklet elaborating on the findings. Here you can see two spreads demonstrating grid structure and motifs within the magazine, Modern Farmer. This projects is especially important because it was at this point that I really came to understand all the detail and conscious decision making that takes place when creating a magazine and laying out a publication.

Magazine Re-Design

The Red Bulletin was the magazine I wanted to redesign. After spending time discovering what it takes to put together a magazine layout, I carefully crafted a new look for The Red Bulletin. This page you can see the cover and table as contents and on the following page, two title and text spreads.

MUD, SNOW, FREEZING RAIN AND KILLER OBSTACLES: THIS AIN’T MILITARY BOOT CAMP, IT’S CYCLOCROSS—AND IT’S

TED LIGETY’S RISE to skiing prominnce began with hardwork and training. But his consistency at the top come with constant innovation. Meet the sport’s chief craftsman.

Ted Ligety walks into the base lodge in Vail, Colorado, and instantly gets the boy band treatment. Kids in skintight, spiderwebbed speedsuits swarm him and begin begging for autographs. “Of course,” says Ligety, as he scribbles his name on several ski helmets. A young girl walks over and asks him if he’ll pose for a photo with her. Ligety obliges and smiles widely as she snaps a selfie.

Though not as well known as other biking disciplines, U.S. cyclocross is gaining in popularity, with events more than dou-bling in the last 10 years. Amateurs as

well as pros, like Curtis White (left/right) are drawn in part because they are so

openly welcomed by the “come one come all” attitude of the sport.

Variable DataA new kind of printed marketing thanks to digital presses which have the ability to change the copy as well as the images for each impression they print. With Variable Data Printing documents are able to have varying text, personalized graphics as well as images that can change according to the demographic of the recipient and more. With the help of page layout applications, database records, libraries of variable images and special software that defines which components go together, variable data printing can be achieved. Marketing through Variable Data Printing has been shown to improve these efforts.

Crop/Trim MarksMarks indicating where to trim.

RegisterA method of corresponding overlaying colors on one single image. Printers use separate C, M, Y and K plates, it is a matter of aligning these perfectly to keep printing in register.

Misregister (Offregister)When paper runs through a press, it absorbs moisture and has the ability to expand or adjust. Printing plates on the press can also be misaligned. Each of these factors can contribute to multicolor jobs being printed out of register. When one or more inks are printed out of register, there tend to be minor gaps or hue shifts among adjacent colors where white paper shows through leaving fringes of accidental color. Misregister can cause images to appear out of focus or blurred.

TrappingTo deter misregister, adjacent colors are deliberately set to print along common boundaries.

Annual Report

Created an Annual Report for University of Northern Iowa Career Services for the year of 2015 using given data. It’s purpose was to graphically highlight important statistics from the year while integrating data in a visually pleasing way. These are two spreads from the report itself. Though this project I gained skills designing through a style guide keeping branding consistent with the University as well as unique solutions to show data graphically.

Yearly Calendar & Inserts

Designed and prepared fi les for 2014-2015 and 2015-2016 calendar for Cedar Graphics as well as inserts to be sent out. Each of these documents was created specially to showcase various types of paper coating available at Cedar Graphics. Shown here is the process of creating the varnish fi les so that only the designated area of the design contains the varnish, (for example matte or reticulating) depending on the color either cyan or magenta. After having completed one calendar project, the second went without a hitch. Learning how to set up fi les and the best order to create and design was especially important to completing this project on time. Through this project I discovered many new uses for Photoshop that I had not previously ventured to use as well as learning how incredibly important layers panels are to use. It was fantastic to see this project to the end and have a tangible copy of a project I spent plenty of time creating. The inserts followed the same process which was incredible easier after having completed it 24x before.

CROSS CHANNEL EVENTPROMOTIONJob Fair

Working in the offi ce of Career Services as a Social Media, Print and Web Design Coordinator, the Job Fair was the greatest exposure I obtained to promote an event across multiple channels. Held twice a year, once each semester, I created promotional posters for campus which then carried over to their web page, Twitter and Facebook which I simultaneously ran. These are examples of posts and multiple designs from both fairs. Posters translated into table tents, web design and cover photos while event photos turned into posts. It was incredibly important to create a cohesive message to promote this event with designs that were representative the University so only a couple of these designs were chosen for each fair.

I got the opportunity to do web design while work-ing in the offi ce of Career Services. I really worked to create a cohesive message though the designs that were representative of the University.

PERSONAL BRANDINGMore About What I Love

I have always had a passion for skiing, outdoors and the mountains so when I was tasked with creating a personal brand for myself, choosing my topic was simple. I love the way social media has been able to connect people around the world with something they all share in common, a desire for powder. I created my brand Social Slopes, blogging and tweeting about whats happening in the ski world via social media. Through following many resorts and companies I discovered that my passion could easily translate into a job doing something I love everyday. Throughout the course of this 3 month project I gained over 600 page views and 184 followers. Although this may not seem like much, I gained transferable experience working with Hootsuite, Google AdWords and Analytics as well as SEO. I worked hard building this brand from the ground up and enjoyed doing it, so much so, I don’t plan to stop.

These are just a few examples of tweets I have written and content I have published on my blog.
