UMBC Career Services Center

Working as an intern for the Career Services Center at UMBC gave me the opportunity to create a number of flyers, web ads, posters, and a variety of other advertisements to be displayed on campus. All pieces were required to fit within the branding standards, using certain typefaces and colors. Therefore, much of what I aimed to do was create interest through typographical means.

Email Stationery

The goal of this piece was to create an identity for Old Ellicott City, an historical town located in Maryland. My goal was to create something that could reflect the rich historical past of the neighborhood, but also hint at a sense of modernity.
