Tupac: Resurrection
I created this book jacket for an assignment in my Designing Documents for Print course. I gathered images of Shakur from the Internet, manipulated them in Adobe Photoshop, and created the overall layout design in Adobe InDesign. The black cover and white back cover design reflects the book’s mission to change its readers’ opinion of Shakur as a person and artist.

Creating a Sunflair Graphic
This is a portion of an instruction set I made for an assignment in my first professional writing course. I created the whole thing with Microsoft Word before I knew Adobe InDesign. To get a better idea of my design decisions, read the coverletter I submitted with the set for the Dedman Prize.

Professional writing magazine
This is proposal to Tech’s English Department for a professional writing magazine. Like the above instruction set, I created this document before I knew Adobe InDesign. The design is bland, but I think my writing makes this document usable and persuasive.

Here is a small-scale usability test I conducted for this Web site. With it I tested how easily users could navigate through my site. I also prepared a report on the results. Larger tests and reports like these can significantly improve a Web site's usability.
