What is Hill Communications?
Hill Communications is a student-run PR firm based out of the S.I. Newhouse School of Communications and accepts members from all majors. The hiring process included a written application and an interview, and I was selected for the creative team. The PR firm consists of around 12 clients, so members on the creative team are responsible for the creative deliverables of about 1-2 clients. As students on the PR side of the firm formulate strategies and determine client needs, they reach out to the creative team member responsible for their client for social media graphics, posters, brand guidelines, logo design, merchandise assistance, and more.

Newhouse MND Course Registration Guide
The client requested a graphic for each MND course offered in addition to a cover slide. While the post was originally intended for Instagram, it can also be used for internal and external use in informational or promotional roles. I did not include the graphics for each course (15 in total), but I provided a few to give a sample.
Full Brand Guidelines
ASISTA is an organization providing support, justice, and dignity for survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking. The client requested brief brand guidelines to make their content more cohesive across all platforms. As part of the brand guidelines, I also redesigned both of Asista's logos to provide them with high-quality PNGs and SVGs.
Merch Design
As part of a design sprint with the creative team, we were asked to create various concepts that Hill Communications could use for their merch. Below are designs of what I came up with.
