Project info

Year: May 2012
Client: Concordia University
Software: Adobe InDesign CS4, Text Wrangler

À la carte is published three times a year by Concordia University. I was responsible of designing a web page that would reflect the print brochure. The web page also displays the images that are found on the print brochure. The challenge of this page was to make sure the images and text flowed nicely.  View webpage.

An inspirational project

Project information:
This was a photo styling project for an inspirational blog, which is still under construction. The owner of the blog wanted an inspirational header. I had come across this set of stones with and thought that they would make a perfect picture. After experimenting with the lighting and settings I ended up with a shot I really liked. Using Adobe Lightroom I edited the photo to give it a sepia look and have the writing pop of the stones. The client was very happy with the results.

Newsletter – RSS button

A task I had received that I had a lot of fun creating was a RSS button for Concordia’s NOW newsletter. My first mockup was using the greys that the Concordia website uses but I found that the button didn’t pop. I tried something different and went with the blue and that is what got approved. I also created the RSS icon from scratch using both Photoshop and Illustrator.

Concordia University – Human Resources

This is one of my major accomplishments at Concordia – Concordia’s Human Resources pages. This project involved a huge redesign of their website  and then  fully integrating those pages into the concordia.ca.

I was mentioned in the Concordia’s NOW News & Events for the work I had done on the Human Resource pages. I was the sole web designer working on these pages along with the Information Architect. It was a challenging project!
