the Fordham Observer

Newspaper layout design, graphics
2019–2021

During my two years as head Layout Editor, I created layout and helped produce over 20 issues of the Fordham Observer, as well as its 40th anniversary special magazine issue. I oversaw the layout for the Arts & Culture section, created maps and graphics, and helped copyedit final presentation.

Created in Adobe InDesign and Photoshop.
