With each article, I'm selecting or creating images that fit the writer’s theme and intended audience, while also considering the pacing within the layout to complement the storytelling.
Beyond articles, I've explored Shorthand’s capabilities through the "Artist Series" editorial stories. This includes using custom HTML, CSS, and JS to create unique stories that push beyond the boundaries of the Shorthand platform.
I've also developed templates for content creators and designers to use in their own Shorthand projects. These include Annual Reports, Brand Books, Style Guides, and Newsletter templates, to name a few.
Designing articles for Shorthand has been a rewarding experience. I've even written and designed one myself. Each project offers me the chance to interpret the content, collaborate closely with writers, and showcase my skills in both design and coding.
