Newspaper Ads

As an advertising designer at my local paper, I designed and edited over 50 ads per week. These ads are small, but some of my favorite early designs. In my two-and-a-half years at the Jessamine Journal, I received 26 Kentucky Press Association awards for excellence in newspaper advertising.

This small ad draws attention with bright color and yummy ice cream.

SPECIAL SECTION COVERS
The covers were designed primarily using Photoshop to combine stock images into layouts that would immediately let the audience know what to expect inside.
