Design
A consistent theme throughout my designs is a prominently featured image in order to engage readers, because that is often what will draw our audience in the most. I have worked diligently on creating new designs and building on existing templates as the leader of production for the past two magazines. In the process, I have gained proficiency in InDesign and learned how to employ more complex design techniques.
Inspiring Black joy
November 2021
I wanted to make this design stand out by laying out the feature image across the whole spread. This way, the audience is pulled into the classroom environment and the subject stands out. This exemplifies the improvement I made in my InDesign skills through compiling Issue 1 of our newsmagazine this year.

5 Things To Know
November 2021
This design captures the emotion of a cross country runner in his environment and the pride he has for his team. Because he is well known in our school community, readers will be drawn to a familiar face and then look to the “5 things to know” about the athlete.
Conveying culture through cuisine
November 2021
With human interest stories such as this profile on a local restaurant owner, it is important to evoke emotion in the design. I focused on creating an impact on readers through showing the restaurant owner’s smile and welcoming nature. On the second spread, I focused on engaging elements that would entice readers, such as a delicious bowl of food.

Getting ready to race
September 2019
I designed this ThingLink to accompany a news story I wrote about an upcoming cross country meet. It provides a way to easily view the team's workout routine for the week, and a unique photograph serves as an engaging element. This unique design inspired me to be more creative in media in the future and experiment with different photography styles.

COVID Cinema
April 2021
I highlighted the illustrator’s color choices throughout this layout with more colorful elements to match the bright and engaging theme of our Variety section, and picked a font that aligned with the cinematic theme. This spread was one of the first that I had creative liberty with, and it allowed me to better understand how to align elements on the page cohesively.

Cross country region and state winners
September 2019
This graphic displays the regional and state award placements in the 2019 cross country season. While the article goes more in depth about these meets, this design conveys the most important information simply and catches the eye of readers so that they can digest the basics without reading the article in its entirety if they choose.
Learning InDesign in Journalism I
In the Journalism I class, we learned how to use InDesign to design layouts for our magazine. We practiced using the software to design a layout and gained access to a myriad of resources that could guide us through how to use fonts, tools, spacing, images and much more. On the left is a practice layout I created using a New York Times article, and on the right, two slides from our staff InDesign slideshow depict how to format a drop cap, bylines, and captions.

From the archives: The last four years in American politics
October 2020
I worked with Digital Managing Editor Ireland McCage to compile past stories from the ODYSSEY website into one package. My responsibility was to design the graphics that display the images from each article and link to them, which serve as an engaging way to showcase a wide variety of content in one place.
The Linnentown
Project's 7 demands
May 29, 2020
I created this graphic to accompany my feature story about The Linnentown Project and its mission of gaining redress from the University of Georgia and the City of Athens. It displays the seven demands of the group in an organized and clear way so that readers can refer to this information with ease. One of my goals with my work with Linnentown (see Reporting and Writing) is to provide CCHS students with this important history in a digestible way so that they can expand their perspectives and learn about their town, and this visually appealing graphic offers an easy way to do that.
