Overview:
Worked as a designer in the Culinary Support Center at Miami University creating materials for various campus departments including food services, the rec center, and more. With a large amount of design requests, emphasis was put on speed, while maintaining quality.
Work Done:
Designed posters, social media ads, tv displays, outdoor signage, and more. All designs were started and finished in several hours or less, resulting in the completion of hundreds of projects in just a few months. Additionally, maintained brand standards across all designs.
Brand Standards
Though pieces often had their own unique designs, care was taken to ensure style continuity within a department, while also considering Miami University brand standards.
Adaptable Uses
For projects with print work, adaptable designs were a necessity as multiple sizes such as standard letter, large poster, and small handout were often required.
Digital Formats
In addition to multiple print sizes, designs were generally required to work as digital screen items on TV displays, websites, and social media platforms including Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
TV Displays
Found throughout buildings on campus, TV's acted as digital billboards for students and faculty. Designs were created to catch the eye and quickly communciate relevant information.
