Perceptions

Behind the Layout

The interior required a layout that would let each work shine in its own way while keeping the overall look of the work cohesive. To create a layout that would fulfill those needs, the design team presented different options, and once one was chosen, we fine-tuned it and worked on adding the content. My role in the layout was to put together a selection of fonts for the team to choose from and then work specifically on applying the layout system to the photography entries and like with the cover going through as another set of eyes fine-tuning the little details and making sure everything was as it should be.

Behind the Cover

The final cover design was created by the editorial team picking and choosing which parts of the designers' cover proposals they liked. Once we got that feedback the design team also talked about how it should look. The Stark Street Bridge and Mt. Hood were used because the client wanted to show local landmarks to further show it is a local publication. My main role regarding the cover was to provide another set of eyes and help fine tune details.

The color palette for the cover was put together by pulling a few colors from one of the cover proposals and then building it out with a few more colors. The font was chosen to be read quickly and simply enough to go with all the different art mediums to be displayed in the publication without taking away too much attention from the art work.

"I used Ayanna to build my website, and she did what I wanted. She was there for me when I needed help. She is there for you if you have questions and for support. I really enjoyed working with Ayanna. She's always there for you. "

-Katy cordrey: internship mentor at meadow outdoor advertising

Ayanna completed an educational internship under my supervision. She is a competent designer, intelligent, and intellectually curious. Her willingness to learn and adjust to new situations made her stand out and a joy to work with. No matter the graphic design need, Ayanna will be a team asset. She is self-motivated, looks for the big picture without missing the details, is considerate of team members' time, and works to deadlines very well. I can enthusiastically recommend her for employment and would not hesitate to hire her if I had an open position.

Miss, Ayanna did an excellent work for me, designing a logo, website and setting me up with square among other material. Miss Ayanna was great to work with from star to finished . She is very professional and I highly recommend her.

-Grace W: Grace Clay Co

Ayanna was so great to work with! I explained my vision with her and she gave me exactly what I was looking for. She allowed me to choose from several options before finalizing my logo. And she set me up with a print shop for business cards and earring cards. She made the process incredibly easy.

We really appreciated how she executed our design and the communication throughout. We struggled at times to know how to word what we had envisioned but she was able to ask good follow up questions that left us all satisfied.
