McSteven's Mini Product Catalog
McSteven's cocoa has been around for 44+ years. This means that there is an huge amount of products available to their wholesale customers. Previously there was a 68 page catalog that showed off the products, but due to COVID-19, McSteven's decided to stop printing it. In 2023, the owner of McSteven's decided that it was time to catalog the items in a modern and straightforward way. He tasked me with the creation of a quick 12 page catalog that contains almost all of the products created by McSteven's. This mini catalog is fluid and ever-changing as it's released two a year. This also means the catalog needs consistent maintenance by me. Below I have featured the most recent mini catalog.
Salmon Creek Journal 2023
The Salmon Creek Journal is a student-run literary arts journal started in 1997. In 2023 the Salmon Creek Jounral Editor realized that the journal had suffered greatly from the COVID-19 Pandemic. The Editor decided to bring me on as an instructor to help teach students at Washington State University Vancouver how to use the Adobe programs associated with print design. Below you can see the 2023 journal that shows my ability to teach the technical of layout design and guide a team to agree on a specific design style.
The VanCougar Newsmagazine
The VanCougar is a student-run newsmagazine that keeps the community engaged in current local events while maintaining a high standard of ethical journalism.
At The VanCougar I worked as the Layout Editor for all print magazines starting in July of 2021. During this time I created dynamic designs to enhance the stories being told and created intriguing covers to increase pick up rates. Prior to reporters finishing their stories I begin to gather inspiration from Pinterest, UnSplash and other news organizations. Once stories are edited, I read through them and would decide what visual direction was best to move forward with. The creation process involves many Adobe programs, the most common being InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop. Below I have featured various covers and story layouts, which represent my time with The VanCougar.
