Updated Maestro Sheet

The paper trail of our publication is maestro sheets. The design staff was struggling to draw inspiration from these forms, and ended up asking more questions that I didn't know the answers to. This new form enabled my design staff and I to know all that was going into a spread and what the vision is. 

The above forms is the revised/redesign maestro sheet, and the bottom form is the "before".

The Cover

Very exciting. I have finished the cover design for the 2009 Ibis. There is a slight lime green stroke around the "IAM" of "MIAMI" because our theme for this book is "I AM ... MIAMI".

Senior Spotlight Application

Front and back application I designed for senior spotlights. Over 50 seniors applied, the most we've had in the recent past. The questions were developed by the People Editor.

Photographer Press Passes

Designed these for our fantastic staff of photographers. The top image is the front of the pass, and the bottom is the back, which has the contact information of the Photo Editor and the Editor-in-Chief just in case things aren't going as planned.

Ibis Yearbook '09 - Style Guide

Handbook I developed and designed for staff designers. I designed it to explain what is expected from them, how we operate, to use as a reference for navigating the server and designing pages, and other things. The last page was suggested to me by the Photo Editor - a survey with the designer's name, student number (because that's how we pay them), and other information that helps me to gauge a person's skill level and possible commitment.

Parent Ad Letter

Designing the bottom form has honestly been one of my favorite assignments as the Design Director. It was one of the first things I wanted to redesign because the previous forms that had been sent out were unnecessarily repetitive, unorganized, and possibly over-designed. Based on the information on the previous forms, and inspired by Print magazine's fantastic design, I designed a parent ad form that groups similar things together and is easy to read (both for parents and for the Business Editor).
