A refined, photographic still life of three finished desktop publishing pieces arranged on a charcoal-gray fabric backdrop: a perfectly aligned tri-fold brochure, a slim saddle-stitched booklet, and a single-page datasheet. Each design features harmonious margins, calm sans-serif typography, and a palette of soft grays with a single accent color, like muted teal. The edges of the paper are crisp, with subtle texture visible under soft side lighting from the right, creating gentle shadows that emphasize layering and precision. Shot from a slightly elevated angle with moderate depth of field, all three pieces remain in sharp focus while the backdrop falls into a smooth blur. The overall mood is polished and corporate, showcasing structured layouts, readability, and understated, intelligent design.

Editorially Driven Design

I blend editorial rigor with clean, accessible layouts, crafting readable, usable designs that respect typography, whitespace, and the reader’s flow across print and digital formats.

A meticulously arranged desktop publishing workspace on a pale oak desk, featuring an open 27-inch monitor displaying a clean magazine layout grid with crisp columns, ample white space, and neutral gray paragraph styles. Beside it, a high-end laptop shows an editorial checklist in a minimalist text editor, with color-coded tags. Neatly stacked proofs with soft-touch covers, a precise metal ruler, and a muted graphite pencil rest on a white leather desk mat. Cool, diffused daylight from an unseen window casts gentle, even illumination, creating soft shadows and precise highlights on edges. Shot at eye level with a slightly wide angle, the composition uses balanced symmetry and sharp focus throughout. The mood is calm, efficient, and professional, emphasizing photographic realism, clean lines, and a corporate, structured aesthetic.
