Document and website design

To design documents and web pages, I use Adobe Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign, as well as screen capturing tools such as SnagIt. Click on the thumbnail below to view a sample.

Astalavista Newsletter

Challenge: Re-design a newsletter to make it more visually appealing and easier to read. To test our design skills, we were restricted to two colours and one graphic per page.

Solution: Edit text for space considerations, introduce design elements such as pullquotes, sidebars, headings, and subheadings. Use colour judiciously.

Result: A newsletter that is inviting and reader friendly.

Gamer Zone Magazine

Challenge: To design an eight-page full-colour magazine using Adobe InDesign.

Solution: Set up a design grid; use principles of symmetry; balance weight, colour, and space; set off text chunks into sidebars and pullquotes.

Result: A fun, bright magazine that draws the reader in through carefully considered design principles.

Blurb Website
