As a graphic designer at USA TODAY, my duties include creating unique looks for 'the point' to represent different brand behaviors (such as the Hollywood star for USA TODAY LIFE), resizing ads for both digital and print platforms, brainstorming ideas for campaigns and constructing brochures to promote our various resources.

I complete these tasks making each assignment creatively adhere to the client's requirements -- while following the USA TODAY's brand guidelines that highlight rules on logo size, typography, colors and alignment.

These projects are completed while working in a team of designers, art directors, copy writers and project managers.
