Magazine Advertisment

This project was for an international education magazine and required staying within brand guildlines and magazine specifications.

Brochure

The idea for this project was to guide the public through the large school to ensure they saw all the vendors present. Because it was a trilingual event, both written instructions and visual illustrations were a priority. This brochure was completed in English, Chinese, and Korean.

Re-enrollment Packet

The goal of this packet was to simplify the re-enrollment process for families at an international school from over twenty-eight different countries. This project involved heavy collaboration between myself, the Director of Marketing, Director of Admissions, Head of Finance, Head of School, and two translators.

Organizational System

This orgnizational system was created to structure the adoption process for prospective adoptive families. The organizers were either for domestic or international adoptions and included five sections of the adoption process for consumers to neatly and throroughly collect their documents. This project involved heavy research into domestic and international adoption processes and requirements.

Flyer

This flyer was a press release to adoption agencies for a Post-placement Curriculum for Birth Parents. Pivot, the curriculum, contains a Facilitator's Guide and a 90 page Participant's Workbook, also written and designed by me. The flyer purpose was to give a snapshot of the look and feel of the material.

Poster

This poster was created using student artwork. The goal was to maintain the integrity of the piece while communicating all of the information about the play simultaneously.

Physical Exam Form

Because of the trilingual nature of the school, a standardized document for a health and wellness check-up was needed to ensure all of the information was observed and reported on by doctors of various native languages. This project involved heavy collaboration between myself, the Director of Marketing, Director of Admissions, Director of Student Services, and two translators. This document is completed in English, Chinese, and Korean.
