Magazine and Publication Designer

Magazine design requires a unique skillset – both creative and technical. Design skills enable me to create visually pleasing layouts that are also functional and readable. I have an eye for typography, color palettes and imagery that helps tell the story of each publication I design. Additionally, I am adept at working with software tools such as Adobe InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator, which allow me to bring design concepts to life. My ability to work collaboratively with writers, editors and publishers ensures that my designs meet the needs of the publication and its target audience. I can be an invaluable asset to any publishing team.

"Darren’s work on our magazines and other publications over the years has always been top notch. Every magazine has a different look and feel to it and he does a great job with making each one unique thanks to his superb design skills and creative mind for building a project from scratch. His work is always turned around in a timely manner despite multiple deadlines and he is very diligent with helping us make those key last minute changes before the project is sent off to the printer. Darren is great to work with and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for help with any graphic design needs." - Kevin S.

"Darren is a great collaborator, and I always enjoy working with him. As we work together on each issue of Wonder & Word magazine, he asks thoughtful questions and offers creative suggestions about how to present articles in dynamic and attractive ways. Darren does a great job of listening to my suggestions and using the available images and text to tell the story of Bethany Seminary in a positive, hopeful, and engaging way. He is always highly responsive, and he does a great job completing complex projects on deadline. I really enjoy working with Darren on the magazine, and I highly recommend him to others." - Jonathan G.
