I worked within small groups in Fall and Spring to help design the club shirt. I was assigned to work on projects such as social media posts, and designing a step and repeat banner for AMA members to take pictures in front of. United Wesley, an on-campus ministry, approached the club for a logo redesign, and I was assigned to the job. I was able to engage directly with Pastor Kelly in order to deliver a re-imagining of their logo that was fresh and engaging. Show less
