CONTRIBUTION
Led a 42-member team of writers, designers, and photographers to produce a 500+ page yearbook using Adobe InDesign. Established the creative direction, design standards, and editorial guidelines to create my own cover, end sheets, and spreads.
In addition to creating these elements, I also oversaw layout, typography, color usage, and image selection across all spreads. I managed timelines, content review, and final production while ensuring brand consistency as well as coordinating print production, creative critiques, and deadlines.

SPREAD EXAMPLES
Created all of the division pages and the concept to section pages based on different feelings, in alignment with the book title, "Can you Feel It?". Division page themes included Community, Energy (Fall, Winter, Spring), Dedication, Difference, and People.
“One of the things that we found super unique about this book was the way that they divided their content. They didn’t do it just by months. They didn’t do it by traditional sections. They broke it into different sections that fit their theme, which was really great,” Jordan said.
