GRAPHIC DESIGN
Though I've designed for about as long as I've written stories, I find myself learning new things each time I'm assigned to design a newspaper page or online graphic.

About the design
Published March 10, 2016
By far, this was the weirdest idea I've had for a newspaper page — a spread about the best ways to make grilled cheese. This was the first graphics and alternative copy spread that I designed completely on my own, and I also came up with all the individual elements of the spread and created the survey for it.

I had two different design ideas for the "After 2:55 p.m." logo. After talking with other staff members, I decided to take one of the designs, featuring an analog clock between the name and description, and move the clock to the background to make the final logo.

My love for different kinds of coffee inspired this page's concept. I designed it with another staff member because it was very graphic-heavy, so I created the coffee cup graphics with proportions, placed the quotes, administered the survey, tallied the statistics and placed the statistics into the graphics.
