U of U AIGA GroupSocial Media
2024 – 2025

During my senior year at the University of Utah I was a part of the leadership for the U of U AIGA Group. As the Social Media officer, I was in charge of posting promotional materials on our Instagram account as well as around the Art and Art History building in order to attract new club members and announce our upcoming events.

On our Instagram account, I created a visual theme throughout our posts by using type style, image treatment, and layout. For some of our meetings, I used the photos we captured and created carousel posts showcasing our activities through a continuous scrolling graphic design.
