Khoury College of Computer Sciences, Northeastern University
Timeframe
July – December 2024
Overview
As a Creative Media Assistant Co-op, I collaborated with the communications department for Northeastern University’s Khoury College of Computer Sciences. I used the Adobe Creative Suite to design graphics for the college’s Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, and other social media pages. I made grid posts, stories, and thumbnails for reels. Additionally, I designed event flyers and promotional print media for guest lectures, networking sessions, and advising events hosted by Khoury College.
Khoury College was undergoing a brand redesign during my tenure as a co-op. As the brand guidelines were ever-changing, I consistently adapted my design style to create eye-catching designs that shared the college’s vision: Computer Science for Everyone.
Instagram Slideshows
Husky Deals Graphics
1080x1350px Instagram slideshow promoting goods and services Northeastern students can access with their student credentials. All photography featured was taken by me. The post is viewable on Instagram: @khourycollege.
Affordable Food Spots Graphics
I was tasked with designing a slideshow for Instagram sharing student-budget-friendly restaurants and cafes close to Northeastern's campuses in different cities. To avoid copyright issues around the use of imagery, I repurposed a Husky illustration drawn by another designer by adding stock vector images of related food for each location. I used Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop to embed to the food graphics to the png images of the Husky.
Flyers, Information Sheets, and Adverstisements
DEIAB Flyers
I created three graphics related to diversity, equity, inclusion, accessibility, and belonging that were shared with Khoury College faculty at the start of the 2024-25 academic year.

AISES Magazine Ad
I was tasked with designing a 2x9" third-page advertisement for AISES magazine, a magazine for advancing Indigenous People in STEM.
Brush Program Social Media Posts
Khoury College's Brush Program is a speaker series where representatives from different industries talk to students and provide advice and interview skills ahead of their co-op search. I was tasked with designing posts for Instagram and LinkedIn with the purpose of thanking the speakers and reiterating their key interviewing tips. These posts exemplify how Khoury's brand guidelines shifted away from the color blue and the adoption of textural plus signs.
The post for Jose shows the design system I created for all of the Brush Program social media posts. The post for Wayfair exemplifies how I adapted the template for sessions with more than one speaker.
Spring Course Registration
I was asked to make a series of graphics for Khoury College Advising promoting two information sessions ahead of course registration for the Spring 2025 semester. I designed slides for an Instagram post, a LinkedIn post, an 8.5x11 inch flyer, and a 1920x1080px digital advertisement to be displayed on televisions in Northeastern's student center. These posts use Khoury College's most up-to-date brand guidelines.

Khoury News
Throughout my co-op I created weekly graphics to promote Khoury News articles on social media. As Khoury's brand guidelines evolved, I adapted the template used for the Khoury News graphics to match them. The "Before" verison uses Khoury's old branding, and the "After" version uses their updated branding.

Khoury News Top 10 Stories of 2024 Countdown
I was tasked with designing a series of posts for Khoury College News to count down their top 10 stories of 2024. These designs were the first incorporation of the college's new branding for Khoury News' social media graphics, which were previously blue. These posts were featured on Instagram, X, and LinkedIn.
Khoury College Website Photography
One of the larger-scale projects I helped with was assisting the web development team in building a new website for Khoury College. I helped select images from Khoury's photo archive to be included on over fifty pages of the new website. Some of my own photography is featured on many of the pages of the website, seen in the screenshots below.
