Print Work

I have designed a variety of documents, including pamphlets, newsletters and conference programs. I work in both the Mac and PC environments using InDesign. In addition, for photos and graphics work, Illustrator and PhotoShop are in my toolbox.

I have a clean design style and corresponding philosophy; the content should be central in any publication, and the design should reflect that. But, sometimes that may mean having a sense of humor, playing the style against the content. I think these two flyers, for a course called the “History of Sexuality,” have fun with the content. The purpose is to draw the attention of prospective students, most of whom would rather ignore all the fliers on a university bulletin board. I accomplish grabbing attention two ways: over size the font for a provocative title, and using an 11″ x 17″ format (most campus fliers are smaller).

In 2001, working with the Graduate Employee Organization (GEO) at UMass Amherst, I designed an informational pamphlet (pamphlet is in PDF format – 800k) about the intellectual property issue at UMass Amherst.
