Buchwald Center Brochure
Graphic Design III @ MVNU
SOFTWARE: Illustrator
COMPLETED: April 2021
GROUP PROJECT: with Madison Therrien & Liz Pound

This brochure was created for prospective MVNU students to introduce them to the Buchwald Center and the Art & Design department. It also serves as a self-tour guide for anyone to be able to guide themselves through the Buchwald Center and be able to identify rooms and know what they are for. The brochure is a unique design that we created, consisting of an envelope that opens up into many informational flaps, and a rubber-band activated cube that pops up and out of the envelope once it is opened. This cube creates an element of surprise and gives prospective students a souvenir object, with the purpose being to get them excited about joining the MVNU Art & Design family. The brochure envelope opens up to inside flaps that show pictures and information of each room in the Buchwald Center. These are organized by floor so that the viewer would easily be able to give themselves a self-guided tour. The back side of the flaps provides information about each of the majors, introduces the professors, and highlights some student work. We adhered to the MVNU brand guidelines for the color scheme and typeface choices so this brochure would be consistent with other marketing materials that MVNU produces. This brochure’s uniqueness serves as a functional but memorable keepsake that will attract prospective students and impress parents and others on their tour.

Typeface Editorial Spreads
Graphic Design III @ MVNU
SOFTWARE: Indesign, Photoshop
COMPLETED: April 2021
DIMENSIONS: 11"x17" Spreads

These editorial spreads were created for an imaginary magazine as a feature article of the Times New Roman typeface. The goal for this project was to create a two spread design that features the Times New Roman typeface, providing a biography of the designer, discussing the unique features of the typeface, and other elements. I focused on using the history of The Times Newspaper, in which Times New Roman began to gain its popularity, to influence my design to look like a vintage newspaper. This is carried throughout all elements of the spreads, from the heading and subheading being similar to how they were in The Times Newspaper, to the pictures being black and white like they were back then, to the three column grid that the layout is based upon. The large decorative elements provide information about the typeface while also balancing out the necessary text of the article. The layout is clearly categorized into the many different ways to feature the elements of Times New Roman.
