Collegiate Front Pages
Trafficked
This photo illustration was created through collaboration between the editors and myself as we debated how to portray such a sensitive topic. What we landed on conveys the striking and poignant nature of the findings made by the Loyola University Modern Slavery Research Project.
Alpha Chi accepts transgender members nationally
Using Illustrator, I incorporated the colors of the transgender flag into the logo of the ΑΧΩ sorority. I selected pastel colors that set the tone for the article, yet remained vibrant in print.
Chemical Russian Roulette
The pointed and witty imagery on this front page is a commentary on the dirty heroin epidemic in New Orleans, a subject that hit close to our campus's heart in 2016.
Private Prisons
Stay Open After
DOJ Cuts
A simple and clear infographic explains how 13 private prisons were being shuttered due to Department of Justice cutbacks, while 46 private prisons would remain open.
The Great Flood
The 2016 flash floods in Baton Rouge caused vast damage to the city. I integrated an iconic photo from that event with a bold, solid font to portray the immensity of the flooding.
Back in
the Big G-Eazy
When hip hop artist and Loyola alumnus G-Eazy performed in New Orleans, he sat for an interview with The Maroon. I used text wrapping around a photo taken during his concert to create a sense of dimension on the page.
You Will Not Have My Hatred
This simple design became iconic during the Paris terrorist attacks in 2015. I wanted to create a layout involving careful use of spaces to convey the solemnity and tragedy of the event.
Faces of Race
In this challenging and visually rewarding piece, I used Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop to maneuver portraits of members of the diverse Loyola community into the text while leaving the background white to further showcase the colors incorporated into each photo.
Taking Center Stage
I created the curtains in Photoshop and the silhouette of a young girl in Illustrator to frame the Life & Times article on a student who has spent her life in center stage.
Ten Years Later
I used photographs from The Maroon archives taken during and after Hurricane Katrina, and placed them beneath a spray painted X, the symbol used by the National Guard Search and Rescue teams during missions after the hurricane.
