Below you will find this order, a version of Missouri S&T’s Panopoly, the yearly digital newsletter, which I designed using Lightroom and InDesign, a popularization of a scientific study and a revision of a press release published on Facebook by the Phelps County Sheriff’s Office. They are all presented with a preface for context. Hope you like what you see!
Panopoly 2026
This is a digital-only newsletter I designed and submitted to be privately published within the English and Technical Communications department at Missouri S&T. Panopoly was originally distributed amongst Alumni to encourage donations but has since been expanded to include faculty, staff and current students.
As you may have picked up, I chose a retro style theme. For Alumni and faculty, the aesthetic is personal; it draws on lived memories. For current students and younger readers , it is inspired by a broader cultural moment. The 80s and 90s are having a resurgence: Stranger Things, polaroid cameras, puffer jackets, along with pixel art and retro gaming have surged back into popularity. The visual language of that era has become relevant across media, fashion and design. Picking the retro theme was a deliberate choice to meet the full range of readership.
Popularization for ScienceDaily.com
This is a popularization, which refers to taking a scientific document, study, or experiment and writing an article about the complex concepts and findings in an accessible and appealing manner to be read by the general public through various media channels like Science Daily.
My popularization follows the style guide used in Science Daily and showcases the bio-plastic TPU-FC1. I am extremely interested about this new plastic and continue to follow its journey. As of right now, TPU-FC1 has been picked up by RhinoShield, a phone case manufacturing company! After reading my article, check it out: RHINOSHIELD and Soleic®
Press Release Revision
This is a press release from the Facebook page belonging to the Phelps County Sheriff’s Department. As the local department, I took a look at and found some issues. Underneath the original copy I re-wrote it and gave it a fitting title. I numbered the paragraphs and demonstrated some of the edits I made that are explained further under the PDF.
