PUBLICATION
I love the challenge of transforming ideas into visually engaging, easy-to-navigate layouts. The process of blending typography, imagery, and space to tell a story is incredibly fulfilling. Every project is a new opportunity to explore different aesthetics and connect with an audience, while keeping the design both impactful and purposeful. Whether it's a magazine, book, or digital publication, I thrive on creating designs that capture attention and enhance the experience of reading.
The selection and aim of this publication project version of The Griff was to focus on MacEwan Sports.The magazine's overall design inspiration was from sports graphics posters, as sports graphics are known for having large, bold type and cut-out images.The design inspiration for the cover and the feature article specifically came from old vintage retro posters.
In this publication project, I redesigned The Fishin Hole catalogue, focusing on their fly fishing equipment. Photography was used to bring light and life to the catalogue making it more engaging and visual.
Shadow & Bone Cover (Photography & Publication). For my illustrative photography project, I chose to illustrate a book cover, and the book I chose is called Shadow and Bone. Using darkness and shadow to engulf part of my subject but still having the overall image lit helps to show the battle existing between light and dark, or in the case of the book, good and evil.
This redesign was done for a typography class where we were tasked with redesigning the MacEwan Book of the Year. The Atlas figure is symbolic of the experiences of the main character. She is trying to push back against the rumours that are bringing her down. The rumours the townspeople create about Katharina are harsh and exaggerated, putting a considerable weight on her and her family. The figure in the design does not have a face because Katharina's hardships can apply to many individuals’ circumstances. Science is also a central idea in the novel, so Kepler’s elliptical orbits from his law of planetary motion was used throughout the design.
