Visual Design V: Postcards, Banners, and Magnets

I have designed a wide variety of print mediums; this post demonstrates the gamut of my abilities. 

Dean of Students' Office 2010 Holiday Card (2011); I was approached by the Hamline Dean of Students' office to create a digital holiday card to be sent out to members of the university community. I took a picture of all the directors within the Student Affairs division, then designed two different drafts. In order to get the signatures as a part of the digital image, I had to scan them all in and insert a pair of inverse layers to isolate it from the rest of the scan.

Make Your Mark Student Leadership Selection Postcards (2011); As a part of the Make Your Mark campaign, I designed postcards that current student leaders would give to those they thought should apply for the positions.

Spring Orientation Postcards (2011); I designed this postcard for the Retention and Transfer Student Services Office to be mailed to incoming transfer students. I am quite pleased with this design.

"Have to Do at HU" Bucket List Magnet (2011); This project was funded by the Hamline Student Alumni Board; they asked me to design a magnet to be given out to new students. I designed a "bucket list" magnet that they could mark off as they mark off as they experienced new things during their Hamline career. I am very proud of this design since it was very complex to create due to the large amount of text and layering.

Class of 2015 Banner (2011); Unfortunately this design was never put to print, but I'm still satisfied with it. A new Hamline orientation tradition is a photo of the incoming class holding a large banner. Afterwards, each of the members of the class sign it and it's put away until graduation 4 years later. Here was my proposed design.
