Alamance Magazine
Disconnected
In the MEJO 482: Media Design course, students created and designed mini-magazines based on topics of their choice. I chose to make Alamance Magazine, a lifestyle magazine focused on serving both visiting and long-time county residents interested in stories on local businesses, recipes and goings-on.
My magazine included a feature article on a local business, a guide to the best coffee shops in the county, a recipe of the month, and an events calendar. I also designed a table of contents and front and back covers.
Through this project, I learned how to create layouts that are informative, entertaining and visually appealing. I worked hard to create a good balance of visual and textual information, and I tried to keep the focus on the stories within rather than on the design itself.

Magazine Design
In the MEJO 484: Infographics course, the class worked as a team to create a magazine based on a relevant and poignant topic. We chose to focus our project on the dangers of social media addiction.
I served as assistant art director for this project, working with the art director to determine which students in the class would complete which spreads for the magazine. We created a style guide and chose overall color pallets and branding elements.

Album Design Project
Students in MEJO 482: Media Design redesigned an album cover and promotional poster of their choice. I chose to use Kelsea Ballerini’s “Patterns,” a country-pop album about love, self-discovery and understanding the world around you.
