As a Junior Designer at Orange Media Network, I had the opportunity to work on many official university ad campaigns, event posters, and print collateral. Orange Media Network is a student-run, university-owned media company responsible for creating print publications such as the newspaper The Daily Barometer, the fashion magazine DAMchic, the lifestyle magazine Beavers Digest, the art magazine Prism, as well as the radio station KBVR-FM and television station KBVR TV. Orange Media Network outsources its creative team to design marketing for official university events held by other organizations under the institution.
drag bingo with Kerri Colby
Drag Bingo is an annual event held at Oregon State University by the OSU Program Counsel, who invites a queen from the reality competition show RuPaul's Drag Race to host bingo. This year the guest was Season 14’s Kerri Colby, a drag queen of the legendary Colby family and trans activist. The concept for the poster was inspired by the art nouveau revival of the 60’s and the bubblegum color palette recontextualized the colors of the Transgender pride flag. As a huge fan of Drag Race, the artform of drag, and Kerri herself, this was an incredibly important and impactful project for me to take on.

In addition to creating posters, a lot of my job as a Junior Designer was creating collateral, such as these staff and guest badges for Drag Bingo.

This ad campaign placed third at the College Media Business and Marketing (CMBAM) Awards 2023 in Washington, DC.
