2019

The IU Southeast Graphic Design Prospectus was created to promote the Graphic Design program at IU Southeast. The Prospectus is designed during the Design Center class where there is a team of graphic design students who take photos, design the page layouts, collect student work, create graphics, and write the text for the book. The students working on this project were to follow all the IU branding guidelines along with the Fine Art department's requirements for program promotions.

I was the Project Leader and Head Layout Designer for the 2019 edition of the IU Southeast Graphic Design Prospectus, 80 pages. I held the master InDesign files, photos, and text. I gathered the other layout designer's pages, photos, and graphics and added them to the master file. I went to the Graphic Design Area Head and Graphic Design Adjunct for copy.

Holding this position, I followed branding guidelines, I learned why to use perfect bound, and how to create a spine in InDesign.

I am so thankful to be apart of such a huge project that promotes the graphic design program that I am apart of at IU Southeast and the Design Center program that teaches students how to handle client works. Not only that, I love the major and school I go to.

These are a few of my favorite pages that I laid out:
