Communication Department Digital Book

Writing in Multimedia Communication, UCSB


This digital book is a product I created as a gift to the UCSB Communication Department. As you flip through the pages, you will notice my ability to create a strong, interesting layout with attention to style, color, font, and content. I wrote, designed, interviewed, and photographed all of the material included in this document.

Travel Brochure

Marketing and Public Relations Writing, UCSB


This brochure serves as a standalone document meant to entice a particular demographic to purchase a travel package to Denver. Within the document, I provide information and photographs about the city of Denver, nightlife, hotel accommodations, dining options, and tour activites. Also included, is a daytime itinerary and information about tour price.

This flier for Envy Cosmetics (see "Marketing Section of a Business Plan" under the writing tab) was designed to be handed out to potential customers. The flier provides information about the Envy Cosmetics brand, store location, hours of operation, and a link to the website. On the back of the flier (not shown) is a coupon for a 15% in-store discount.

Collage Project

Writing for New Media, UCSB


In this assignment, I created a collage of images representing my interpretation of a statistic, "In 2005, Americans spent nearly $12.2 billion on cosmetic surgery." By bringing together crude images of celebrities and highlighting the absurdity of the photos with bright, unnatural colors and distortion filters, I portray a paradox of the Hollywood lifestyle.

Textual Analysis

Writing for New Media, UCSB


Using web-based textual analysis software, I created several visualizations of Barack Obama's speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention. Wordle, the particular software I used for this sample, analyzes the number of times words are used throughout a text and signifies important, frequently used words by giving them larger font sizes.
