May 2021. This is a poster of my research that was accepted for presentation at Portland State's 2021 Student Research Symposium. The poster summarizes media effects research I conducted during fall 2020 and had originally reported in an APA-style paper. I used InDesign to create the poster and Google Sheets to create the bar graph featured in the center. The research involved collecting quantitative data from a Google Form survey on participants' first- and third-person perceptions of how much reading violent books affects aggression.

March 2021. This is a story layout that I created for a fictional literary magazine. In Photoshop, I used various effects and tools to create the image featured on the first spread. In InDesign, I used the baseline grid, master pages, and primary text frame to organize the different text elements. I applied paragraph, character, and object styles to manage fonts, alignment, and fills and eliminate widows and orphans. I created the story's end mark in Illustrator. To complement the text, I found relevant public domain and royalty-free images online.

March 2020. This is a website I created using MadCap Flare. For this project, I was provided a generic employee manual and tasked with managing its print and web outputs within one Flare project. I created a fictional company (Muniz Corp., a dual-language children’s book publisher) and wrote a company topic and slogan. I gained experience with various tools, including cross references, variables, snippets, and conditional text. For the web output, I implemented top navigation and added proxy TOCs, breadcrumbs proxy, micro content, and search filters. I used GIMP to design the Muniz Corp. logo. Vertical Divider
