This document contains summaries of four graphic design projects by Louis A. Spagnola: 1) A night photography image of the Boston skyline taken from Winthrop, MA using a Nikon D-40 camera with a 300MM zoom lens after multiple attempts to capture the lights reflection. 2) A four-page magazine spread designed in InDesign and Photoshop focusing on the political divide in the US, modeling a Time Magazine layout. 3) A tea box design created in InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator measuring real tea bags and using die-cut tracing in Illustrator, targeting tea drinkers. 4) A redesign of the book cover for "The Catcher in

Night Photography
This was taken as part of my Final Project. “Bos-
ton Skyline” was taken from Winthrop, MA. I
used a Nikon D-40 camera with a 300MM zoom
lens. This was my third attempt; at first I used a
35MM lens and didn’t like the distance, the second
time the tide was out and it lacked the reflection
of the lights. This was chosen for Spark Magazine,
and was among the highest ranked submissions.
Four-Page Magazine Spread
InDesign & Photoshop
We had a choice of topics and layouts to choose
from for this magazine spread project. I chose
Time Magazine as a model, focusing my article on
the ever-widening political divide in this country.
Tea Box Design
InDesign, Photoshop, & Illustrator
I chose to measure twenty packaged tea bags to
base my box size off. After sketching the outline
of the die-cut, I then used Illustrator to trace it.
My target audience is anyone who is looking to
enjoy some quiet time alone with a hot cup of tea.
Book Cover Redesign
InDesign & Photoshop
In choosing “The Catcher in the Rye” to redesign,
I envisioned it with a throwback look, in the vein
of Alfred Hitchcock. This is why I went with an
almost completely Black & White design, with the
exception of some text accented in red.
