The Flame Newsletter featured the work of UJA-Federation of New York. In each issue, I created graphics to support the topic of the issue or the article. I looked for every opportunity to inject visual interest in a relevant way, such as the inset shaped in the silhouette of Africa that highlighted a specific project as part of the broader work done in Africa.

This case for giving featured the four anchors of this university's Cincinnati campus: an archive, a library of historic documents, a museum, and an academic press.

I was the creative director and graphic designer for Around The House magazine for five years. These are some of the covers and inside spreads I created. I treated page numbers and section heads differently, and tried to create as much visual interest in copy treatment as possible, so that it wasn't just image-driven. designer typography
