Examples of Graphic Design Skills
I have included a few examples of some of my past design work. The first is a Spanish bulletin board that I designed and illustrated for a Methods class, using Adobe Illustrator. The bulletin board corresponded with a lesson I taught during my Level II teaching experience at Price Lab, where I taught students about the Solar System and ordinal numbers in Spanish. This unit was designed to reinforce their current unit in Science. The second is a photo of a booklet I made for a Graphic Design class about my semester in Oviedo, Spain. The third is a timeline I created for another Graphic Design class. At full size, it stretches over three feet.
