Volume One Magazine + The Local StoreI hold the position of Advertising designer where I continually update/create both web and print ads for new and existing clients. During the first year of my employment we’ve broken 5 company records for the largest publication cycles, one of which nearly doubled our revenue and design production for any given cycle. Generating in-house ad campaigns including ads, posters, web animations, banners and all branding elements and merchandise also are my responsibility. Additional tasks include updating sales kits, coordinating photography shoots, photographing products and events, and developing custom logos/graphics for events and special sections.+I helped design and build the Local Store located in downtown Eau Claire Wisconsin. I directed the aesthetics and branding materials including screen printed and hand painted signs, web ads, print ads and catalogs. I’ve designed merchandise items such as coasters, posters, t-shirts, tote bags and pint glasses. All of these things are going directly to the bottom line of the company and the Local Store’s ability to be profitable.
