During my last year at WSU, I was approached by a friend that was directing her capstone show. I was to take photos and design the poster. These are the three options I presented to her. The first was eventually chosen because the relationship portrayed between the two characters is most accurate to that in the story.
In my second year at WSU I was in a publication design class that required us to create a destination travel poster.
The summer before my final year, I was part of a travel study class to the Navajo Reservation, working on a documentary journalism project. We teamed with students from Dine College, who wished to start a journalism program. We divided into 5 groups, each documenting the life of a Navajo elder who has played an important role in the history of their people, from code talkers, medicine, to education. Our group interviewed a teacher at Dine College. One group member wrote the story, they I laid the story out in a half-broadsheet format.
During my capstone class, we were required to put out two issues of the “Bravura.” For this article I teamed up with a journalist to do a story on the Winona Dive & Rescue team. She wrote the story, while I took the photos and did the layout. The papers were then distributed on campus and inserted into the weekend edition of the Winona Daily News.
In a poetry class, our final assignment was to compile our poems and create a chapbook. While most simply took a piece of construction paper, I wanted to create mine in InDesign to give it a more professional look (while taking some liberties, sine WSU does not actually have a press.)
This is the one project that I have ever created in Illustrator. It was required for a class during my first year, then never had reason to use the program again.
