Helpful Tip: Character Styles and Paragraph Styles are your best friends across all designs. I always start with the main text in black, and the headers, sub-headers, titles, food items, prices, etc., all in different font colors, along with the font, size, or style differences. It’s an easy way to see those differences quickly and make sure the font styles are used consistently throughout your document. InDesign is the best program to use for print files, because it includes visual guides, margins, column widths throughout the document. Create Guides in InDesign allows you to make guides with gutters for rows and columns.

Photography Skills

Studio and environmental photography experience
enhances design projects and storytelling.

Helpful Tip: Consistent lighting is one of the most important aspects in photography. Always make sure the lighting set up is the same or similar -- the lighting placement, the temperature of the light bulbs, whether the lighting is diffused or direct. With outdoor photography, the direction of the sun and amount of cloud cover can make or break a photoshoot.
