417 Magazine Ads

Here are a few of my favorite ads I designed for the magazine. The medical spa month ads I created, in the magazine and online, were for a new promotion in 417, so I designed everything from scratch. I started with the logo to set the theme and feel of the design, then I created the ads and web campaign. Rodi Boutique is a client of mine that I design for almost every month. I took the photo for the ad shown. It was neat to be involved in both steps of the design process.



New Chapter

Jamie and I moved to Springfield in August and started a new chapter of our lives. The last five months have been fun, exciting and wonderful. For starters, we bought our first home and both have jobs we love. I've enjoyed trying out new places and meeting new people.

I started working for 417 Magazine as a creative coordinator at the end of August. It fits me perfectly. I have quite a few roles. I design ads for clients, and I’m in charge of all the special sections, such as the profiles, product features and guides. I’m also a part of the Marketing team, which involves designing house ads, signage and materials for our events, and ads for 417 and non-417 web campaigns. It takes a lot of organization and at times deep breaths, but there is never a dull moment, and each day is different. I love it.

I've been using my blog to show my invitation and card designs, but I'm going to start publishing some of my work from the magazine, as well as DIY projects, recipes and other things that make up my world. I'm looking forward to getting more use out of my blog. I hope you enjoy!

Waddell Holiday Card

Here is the holiday card I designed for my sister-in-law's family. These photos of the girls are great, as usual. I love her taste in clothing, and she always has the best ideas for backdrops and accessories. Having beautiful girls is a great bonus ;)
Check her out on facebook, too

Malinowski Christmas

My family decided to do something fun this year for our cards :)


First Christmas

This is our first Christmas as husband and wife :) Here are the cards I designed for us. I thought this wedding photo went perfect with the chalkboard look. And I had to put our newest addition on the back!



Marler Christmas

Here is a Christmas card I designed for a sweet Poplar Bluff family. My sister-in-law, Delania, took the photo. I wanted it to be the main focus, so I just created the small ornament for the design element.

Rowyn Cate


Here is the birth announcement I made for my new little niece Rowyn. The cards were luxe– the front photo is the first one shown here, then you open it to the second image shown, and the last is what is on the back of the card. This is one of my favorite cards I've design so far! My sister-in-law took the photos. She's such an amazing photographer.
