"These Tears Are A Beautiful Waltz"
Editorial Double Spread Editorial Illustration

This double spread editorial illustration centers on caregiver grief; mourning someone before they have passed while caring for someone. I wanted to tackle a sensitive subject for my first project for my Editorial Illustration class, as this subject is very personal to me.
The article is of the same title, written by Jennifer N. Levin.

Cincinnati Zoo Single Page Editorial Illustration

This project was centered on local news, that being Cincinnati Zoo welcoming a new sloth baby to their exhibit. I designed the cover to closely resemble the lifestyle magazine, "Cincinnati", using their font for the title.

Editorial Illustration Informational Graphic Project -
Xenomorph Life Cycle

For this infographic project, I wanted to create a typical life cycle poster you would find in middle school science classrooms with a science fiction twist. I am a huge fan of the ALIEN series and initially wanted to include every xenomorph, but this was a bigger undertaking than planned. Instead, I decided to tackle the life cycle only pertaining to the original movie. The design elements are taken from the aesthetics of the movie, especially the menu screen for the film.

"Trump's Classified Hack" Double Spread
Editorial Illustration

We were required to handle a political topic for this editorial illustration, so I chose a topic that was extremely recent for the time in 2023. I wanted to tie the illustration with the title, choosing a golfing theme. This illustration is not associated with any particular party affiliation.
