Designer of the Year I should be selected as the Designer of the Year because of my ability to produce visually appealing spreads that highlight a page’s content while grabbing the viewer’s eye with creative elements. Over the course of my years on the Legend yearbook staff, I have strived to design unique and interesting spreads that push the limits of classic design. With a strong knowledge of basic design, I am able to purposefully break some rules to achieve a desired effect. I have mastered the art of modular design and utilize secondary coverage to further the content of a page. I applied this skill to each year’s theme to demonstrate versatility of design skills. Our 2016 book focused on clean design, while the 2017 book has pushed my personal boundaries to take a more artistic approach. Not only do I excel at designing my own pages, I am able to help others through the design process while teaching them the importance of basic design and that it is okay to think outside of the box every once in awhile. As a result of my time as a staffer and an editor, my skills have grown tremendously as displayed in my work samples.
