layout editing & design for print

We are halfway through our first volume and we have published and printed 5 issues of The Lunenburg Barnacle as of June 2023. Click on the images below to see the full issue on issu.com.

brand development

Developed three variations for a logo mark, icon, colour palette, and imagery inspiration which I presented to the Barnacle team.

final branding

Designed and refined the selected logo and applied the branding to other assets including posters, a media kit, an instagram feed template, website design, videography, and a brand style guide.

media kit

Created a media/press kit document to send to potential advertisers, giving them all the pricing and specifications they would need to purchase advertising space in the newspaper or online.

website design

Designed a Wordpress website based on the Twenty Twenty Three template. Working with the Barnacle team, we created a customized website using plugins, custom code, and the Wordpress editor.

videography

For the cover story of our second issue, we interviewed a local resident who has been playing the bells at St. John's Anglican Church for 40 years. We decided this needed a video to show what these bells look like from inside the church. I filmed and edited this video.
