We have
designed quite a bit since 2007 for
independent business purposes and in the
classroom for projects at Loyola
University Chicago. All of the contents
of this page have been created with
various Adobe image and design software
such as Photoshop and In-Design.
I have
heard that MAC is the way to go for
doing this type of stuff but I have to
whole-heartedly disagree to those
claims. For the classroom, all of these
projects received A's and were completed
on PC.
If it
ain't broke, then don't fix it!

Newspaper Features
Page

A requirement
for this feature page was to incorporate
religion. Religion is not my forte' but
including some aspect of fishing made the
design easy overall.
