LAYOUT DESIGN
As a current Layout Designer at LLM Publications, I've spent over a year specializing in trade associations' magazines and directories, immersing myself in the logging, dental, and medical sectors. My role involves bringing together editorial and design to create visually stunning layouts.
I work closely with associations, taking their valuable content and transforming it into captivating magazine spreads. From carefully arranging articles to editing photos, I ensure that every page exudes professionalism and grabs readers' attention. Custom article themes and cover pages add a unique touch that perfectly represents each association's news cycle.
Like in my work as an Advertising Designer, attention to detail is key. I select typefaces that complement the tone and style of the publications, ensuring a cohesive visual experience. I also search for the best stock photos to enhance the overall aesthetic and make the content shine.
In addition to print, I'm experienced in digital publishing. I create files for digital flipbooks, allowing associations to distribute their publications seamlessly online. I also work on WordPress sites, ensuring they're visually appealing and user-friendly.
While my focus is primarily on magazine and directory design, I also contribute to associations' digital communication efforts. This includes crafting and distributing trade newsletters, adding value to their overall marketing strategy.
Feel free to explore the samples of my work below, where you'll witness the seamless fusion of content and design. I take pride in my dedication to delivering exceptional layouts that captivate audiences and reflect the unique essence of each association.

PENNSYLVANIA ACADEMY OF
GENERAL DENTISTRY
Many might assume that the dental industry is solely abuzz with tips on teeth and practices. Not always. This publication is for members of the PAGD and usually includes fun extras like advice on esthetics, event snapshots, stories from graduates and professionals, and more.
In these issues, I frequently employ color, cutouts and drop shadows, and photo grids. When I use stock photos, I aim to use ones involving teeth sparingly. A publication meant for those already in the industry should appeal visually in a way that offers some variety from the drab sights of one's usual day-to-day. Perhaps this means including art, office shots, or event locations. The design should be fun, invite specialists to catch up on the field and going-ons of the association, and celebrate achievements of their friends and colleagues.
