		<description>Magazine Covers
The cover process is a collaboration between me, title editors, managers, and newsstand team. We take time to select the best image to represent the title as well as the best blurbs to catch the attention of readers. The newsstand team advises us on statistical data of what historically performs well. This has resulted in 50+ covers that I’ve had the opportunity to design—below is a sampling.

		<description>Updates &#38;amp; Redesigns

The following are examples of designs that I was able to change and refresh during my time with Quilts &#38;amp; More. I wanted to stay true to the overall feeling of the magazine, but deliver the information in an updated way.


	Quilts &#38;amp; More CoverThe cover is an important part of the process, as it’s the first thing a consumer sees that has potential to draw them in to pick up the magazine. As a newsstand-only title, it was important to include interesting visual elements toward the top of the cover as the rest would likely be covered by other magazines. Careful thought was given to refreshing the cover at different stages. See descriptions below for changes that I was able to implement.︎︎︎

&#60;img width="2363" height="3150" width_o="2363" height_o="3150" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/59a82eec71b3b44263334ce1bfa6ea62e3ca388c2cbec462e7c0771e05fed53e/2019-Summer.jpg" data-mid="157188793" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/59a82eec71b3b44263334ce1bfa6ea62e3ca388c2cbec462e7c0771e05fed53e/2019-Summer.jpg" /&#62;
&#60;img width="2363" height="3150" width_o="2363" height_o="3150" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/327802adb154465a5d332879293e8481740605d2b559bb65492a74ab06e83e83/2018-Fall.jpg" data-mid="157188821" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/327802adb154465a5d332879293e8481740605d2b559bb65492a74ab06e83e83/2018-Fall.jpg" /&#62;


	In order to align more closely with other brands and make a more streamlined cover, we decided to eliminate the side rail of photos. This change allowed for more readable blurb space and improved visual hierarchy. This change was made in Spring 2021.
	In the Spring 2019 issue, we debuted a new logo design. I wanted to give the branding an updated look that included less elements; I got rid of the issue name in the “Q,” changed “and” to “&#38;amp;,” and removed the tagline “simple fresh &#38;amp; fun.” All of these changes, along with an updated font made for a quicker read on newsstands. The new logo was updated across all brand materials.
	This was the original structure of the cover, which featured one main image and three additional projects on a side rail. It was important to highlight a variety of projects through visuals and/or text.


Back to BasicsBack to Basics was a recurring feature at the back of each issue of Quilts &#38;amp; More magazine. The story was created to help people through the basics of sewing and quilting. Every project in the issue made at least one reference to Back to Basics so readers could learn without having to include that information with each project.

Redesigned in 2018: For the redesign, I knew I wanted to use the same fabrics throughout the entire story to keep it cohesive. It was also important to select fabrics that were neutral in terms of print and pattern, because I wanted them to be able to last for years to come. After sketching out each page of the story, I propped and art directed the photography. These images have been reused in other magazines and online content. ︎︎︎

Refresh in 2017: For my first issue as designer of Quilts &#38;amp; More, I decided to refresh the content through existing photography and different design treatments. I was able to find additional photos that were taken at the time that had a brighter color palette and used those images, along with a slightly different design to give the story an updated look. The plan was to have this as a temporary solution until the title editor and I could collaborate on coming up with new visuals along with updated tools and information.&#38;nbsp;︎︎︎

Original: The original design for Back to Basics (created in 2005) included excellent information which helped readers make and finish projects in the best way possible. Though the information held the test of time, the fabric, notions, and color palettes became outdated.&#38;nbsp;︎︎︎

This magazine was comprised of existing photography and new illustrations. We hired an illustrator to create plant icons that we could pick up and rearrange onto a grid to coordinate with each existing garden photo. This gave the editor and myself the freedom to create what we needed without having to sketch specific examples for the illustrator. These plant icons will be able to be repurposed in future garden content across all Better Homes &#38;amp; Gardens brands, which will be an excellent resource.&#38;nbsp;Additional note: due to the sales success of this issue, it has gone on to be reprinted.Sun’s Out: All of the chapters in this issue were structured in a similar format: image of a garden space, a grid plan of that space, and a coordinating plant list. The editor and I worked on adding in sidebars and tips as needed to help support the content. Each story also included a detailed illustration (created by a freelancer) and example photos of the plants used, on the opposite page. Finally, each story ended with a gallery of plants that fit the overall theme of each chapter. There were 7 chapters total, catering to different needs gardening needs. ︎︎︎

MEDITERRANEAN DIET&#38;nbsp; (BETTER HOMES &#38;amp; GARDENS)This magazine was comprised of a mix of new and existing photography. The title editor and design director worked together to determine which recipes would be shot new. When I came on board, the photography process was just getting underway, so I attended the photo shoots to get a better idea of how the overall food and recipe process worked.&#38;nbsp;Additional note: due to the sales success of this issue, it has gone on to be reprinted.All Aboard: While on set, I worked with the title editor to reimagine how this story would be structured. The original idea planned by the design director was to have a bowl on each page, each food element being added one at a time; for example, the first page would show three bowls each with their own grain, then the second page would show those same bowls with different proteins in each, and so on. I felt that it would be too much visual repetition, so I proposed the design shown below. We worked with the food stylist and photographer in the moment to create these scenarios.&#38;nbsp;︎︎︎

EASY GARDEN &#38;amp; OUTDOOR PROJECTS&#38;nbsp; (BETTER HOMES &#38;amp; GARDENS)This magazine is mostly comprised of existing projects and photography, paired with new commissioned plant illustrations. There are several home garden tours mixed in with gardening projects.Creative Growth: This story is all about creating container gardens for outdoor spaces, for which we include instructions for at the end of the magazine. Accompanying each container, we have “planter recipes” which tell readers the exact plants shown in the photos. The illustrations are paired with text giving a brief explanation of the plants. Planter Recipes are used consistently throughout the issue. ︎︎︎

SOUPS &#38;amp; STEWS (BETTER HOMES &#38;amp; GARDENS)
This magazine is a “best of” issue, which is comprised of Better Homes &#38;amp; Gardens recipes and photos that have been featured in various other titles under the brand. Instead of having stories or chapters, the issue mixes all ingredients and categories of soups and stews, numbered 1–100. As the designer, I was able to place the recipes in any order I wanted, so I made sure to separate images by: food color, background color, ingredients/food texture, photography angles, and number of bowls per image. Throughout the issue, there are “flags” to identify Pressure Cooker, Slow Cooker, and 30 Minutes or Less for which I designed the icons.︎︎︎Additional note: due to the sales success of this issue, it has gone on to be reprinted.

COUNTRY FRENCHThis magazine is a mix of new and existing content. Some stories were repurposed from sister publications, while others were newly acquired. It was important to me to design all of the content in a way that was fresh and ensure the new and existing photography were indecipherable from one another by making a cohesive look throughout.&#38;nbsp;Easy Elegance: This was my first time designing Country French from scratch. The existing template hadn’t been updated for many years, so I was able to freshen up elements including: fonts, end bugs, symbols, sidebar treatments, and grids. I wanted to convey a sense of elegance that would compliment the photography. ︎︎︎

FLEA MARKET DECORATING (BETTER HOMES &#38;amp; GARDENS)This magazine had existed in years past, but we brought it back because of the resurgence of interest in flea market items and collecting. It was largely centered around home tours and curated collections. Additional note: due to the sales success of this issue, it has gone on to be reprinted.Road Trip to Round Top: This particular story ran in a sister publication in years prior, but the content is still relevant and informative for readers, so we repurposed it. I was able to reconfigure and condense information into a smaller number of allotted pages from which it originally ran. Since the story contains a lot of information, I wanted to keep the grid structure similar between pages to make it easy for readers to engage with the content. ︎︎︎

TEQUILA &#38;amp; MEZCAL (LIQUOR.COM)This magazine is the third print publication in which we partnered with Liquor.com to repurpose their digital content to sell in print on newsstands. I created the template to be cohesive with design and typographic elements featured on their website. For each of the three magazines, I kept the basic design elements the same, but changed the color palette to fit the theme and overall feel of each issue topic (Whiskey, Cocktails &#38;amp; Mocktails, Tequila &#38;amp; Mezcal).&#38;nbsp;It’s Time For A Margarita: These selected spreads are part of a longer story, but is a good visual representation of the overall look of the issue. Each chapter/story has a mix of recipes, recipe history, tips, and bottle recommendations.︎︎︎

The majority of the chapters are composed of projects from different designers, so it’s important to come up with photo plans that create a cohesive look to hold the stories together. Typical layouts feature styled photos at the beginning of each chapter followed by instructions for each project.&#38;nbsp;

The Bright Side of the Season: This story is all about bold and colorful projects, so I wanted to create a title design that would be bold yet simple to balance out the photography. While conceptualizing the sets and scenarios, I used similar background colors to tie the projects together since they were all made by different designers and from various materials. The layouts include solid fill backgrounds and geometric elements to tie back to the title page and really hold everything together.&#38;nbsp; ︎︎︎

QUILTS &#38;amp; MORE (BETTER HOMES &#38;amp; GARDENS)
When quilts arrived in the office, I would create a photo plan which included the scenario of the set along with propping notes. Once photographs, instructions, and illustrations were finalized, I compiled everything into a layout. Our practice is to include a styled photo of the project, a flat shot, and all of the necessary instructions and illustrations. It’s important for illustrations to flow into the text where they were referenced, which often dictated the overall flow of the story.
Perfect Match:&#38;nbsp;This is an example of a story that features two projects in one; a twin-size bed quilt and coordinating doll quilt. I wanted to create a scenario where the projects could be featured in one image so readers could understand the difference in scale and how they related to one another. The flat shots appear proportionately correct, which adds to the size clarification.&#38;nbsp; ︎︎︎

		<description>Published Crafts
The following are examples of projects that I designed and/or crafted for various publications. All of the styled photography was conceptualized by me and is a mix of styling and propping that I worked on or collaborated on with a stylist.

Halloween Tricks &#38;amp; Treats
The Creative Director for Holiday Crafts asked for a variety of designs that could be paired with candies and Halloween treats. In conceptualizing the story, I thought about apothocary-style designs as well as foods and containers that would work well to showcase the different elements. After curating, designing, and assembling the packaging, I styled and art directed all of the photography. The Creative Director then took those photos and designed the story layout. ︎︎︎

Miscellaneous
These are all projects that I was able to design, make, and art direct that were featured in magazines such as Quilts &#38;amp; More, Make It Yourself, and Handwork Happiness. ︎︎︎

		<description>Story Collabs

There were several opportunities in Quilts &#38;amp; More to feature non-project-based stories. Some of those stories contained pick-up photography and others were created from scratch. The following are examples of stories that I worked on with freelance illustrators. After receiving the text from an editor, I would sketch ideas for visuals and then hand them off to the illustrator. The illustrators I used were not familiar with the topic, so I made sure to clearly communicate what I was looking for - often including notes and photo examples of tools specific to quilting.

		<description>Photo Art Direction

The following are examples of photos I created the overall concept for. I then worked with set builders, prop stylists, and photographers to bring them to life. During each photo shoot, I was able to art direct and give real-time feedback to the stylist and photographer. Between working on Quilts &#38;amp; More and Holiday Crafts, I conceptualized roughly 140 sets/scenarios per year.
