Economy spread

Got my mind on my money and my money on my mind ... spread for the Ibis on the economy, which charts the price or percentage of items or topics relevant to students, such beer and unemployment. It's an interesting graphic, so please take the time to look closer. I worked with the section editors to add variety to the items/topics covered, such as tuition costs and condoms.

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".



Banner and print ad I created/designed for the Miami Hurricane. The banner ad went through a lot of revisions -- adding text, adding pictures, adding more text, removing text. The space was hard to work with considering the client wanted the ad to be really visual with lots of pictures of the property.
