Role
As a Graphic Design Coordinator for SPACES, my responsibilities include creating promotional materials for upcoming events, designing merchandise for staff, and creating slide deck templates to use during any staff meetings. I worked closely with the Web Coordinator to ensure that the visual branding of SPACES remained consistent and reflected the values of access, retention, and community. I maintained contact with the 9 core organizations on campus to make sure that my designs reflected their needs.
-
I created a flyer for a study jam hosted by some of the core-orgs SPACES works closely with. I decided to be playful and include pieces of toast with jam!
-
I created a flyer for a graduate student panel hosted by native students. I was told to make the flyer match with NAISA's (Native American & Indigenous Student Association) current Instagram feed, hence the orange and blue.
-
I made a flyer for UCSD Kaibigang Pilipin@'s high school mentorship program. KP requested the use of green and elements corresponding with a farmer's market.
-
I made a flyer for UCSD's The Collective Voice, one of the oldest zines on campus. I incorporated TCV's colors - cream, red, and black.
-
This a flyer I made for a movie night SPACES hosted.
-
This was a flyer made for KP Core's board application. I made sure to keep the flyer consistent with KP Core's Instagram feed.
-
This a flyer I made for a study jam hosted by 3 of the core-orgs. I decided to be cheeky and draw pictures of jam jars and made sure the color palette of the flyer matched with all 3 orgs' established branding.
-
This is a flyer I made for a hiring announcement. The theme of this current cycle of SPACES was y2k technology, so I included a flip phone graphic. I primarily used the colors blue and purple to stay consistent with SPACES' branding, since this flyer pertains specifically to SPACES programming.
-
This is a flyer made for an Alternative Campus tour hosted by SPACES. I was requested to include elements that match the theme of "taking root".
-
I made this flyer for another alternative tour hosted by SPACES. This time I was asked to make the flyer represent a futuristic portal.
