Front and back covers

Inside spreads


The goal of this project was to develop an informational booklet covering a U.S. President of our choosing. We were required to develop a visual theme that facilitated the understanding of this President's legacy. I chose President Andrew Jackson and wanted to choose a different approach by illustrating the well known love story he and his wife Rachel Jackson shared. This publication is 8 pages and includes notable quotes by President Jackson about his undying love for Rachel, complete with photographs and love letters exchanged by the couple.

The American Muslim Digest Newsletter
This newsletter was created for my Editorial Style course. We had wide latitude in choosing our topics; the only restriction was that the topic should not be about where we work. Requirements included a title and subhead, issue and volume number, editorial welcome, mission statement and editorial office information. We had the choice of producing all of our content or asking other writers to contribute. Part of the assignment was assume the responsibility of the Editor-in-Chief with respect to recruiting contributing writers who would respect my editorial guidelines. Articles include Hijab: Liberating or Oppressive?, Point and Counterpoint articles about whether Pope Benedict XVI's comments were offensive to Muslims, as well as an article entitled Hip Hop Meets Globalization, which discusses the underground Arab/Muslim American hip hop scene.
