I created several pages and covers for magazines in Adobe Illustrator and InDesign.
The yellow magazine layout was created in Adobe Illustrator as a visual exploration of cultural diversity. I chose a bright yellow background to evoke warmth, energy, inclusivity, and setting a positive tone for the content. To ensure readability and contrast, I used black and green text, which not only complements the background but also adds visual interest and clarity.
To enhance the storytelling, I incorporated carefully selected images that reflect the themes discussed in the article. These visuals help ground the content in real-world representation and make the message more engaging and relatable to the target audience. I did the same thing with the fresh fare farms layout as well.
These projects challenged me to balance aesthetics with accessibility, and it deepened my understanding of how design can amplify important social topics. They also show how people can get involved and what they can do to help out.
Samples of ticket designs
This train ticket design marks my first experience using Adobe XD, a platform tailored for UI/UX design. While I was new to the software, I quickly became comfortable navigating its features and crafting a clean, functional layout.
To bring the concept to life, I incorporated perfect images of a train and a barcode sourced from Google, and designed the typography and layout myself, arranging the text in a logical and visually appealing order. The goal was to simulate a realistic ticket interface while experimenting with hierarchy, spacing, and alignment.
This project was a valuable introduction to digital product design and helped me understand how visual elements and user experience come together in interface design.
