ACRES Magazine & Eco Ag Conference
Getting to be part of the ecological agriculture movement has been a meaningful opportunity for me. ACRES mission in helping guide farmers and ranchers in the future of sustainable farming is one I believe in and one that I’m honored to design for. I lead the design and layout of the ACRES monthly magazine, as well as lead the design, branding and layout for their yearly Eco Ag Conference materials.
ACRES Magazine
Every month I work with the Editor-in-Chief and ad sales to piece together the layout for the magazine. I am a whiz at pagination and finding homes for all of our advertisers within our stories. Working on the ACRES magazine has further sharpened my technical problem solving skills - sourcing imagery and data from many third-party sources doesn’t always produce the cleanest and most high-resolution content. This has encouraged me to deepen my print production knowledge and expand my creative problem-solving toolkit.
ECO AG CONFERENCE
ACRES hosts one of the premier conferences for ecological agriculture every year. An educational and interactive forum to learn about the newest tech and hear from some of the industry leaders on best practices, this is a crown jewel event. 2023 was the first year I came onboard to design materials, starting with an updated brand package. Each year we build on that branding for a unique look and feel. The two main components are the marketing brochure, which is mailed out a couple months in advance of the conference, and the program which is handed out on-site as the official guide for all of the attendees and vendors.
