OLIVIA JASCHEN

An incredibly enthusiastic go-getter ready to tackle
whatever the world throws at me. I am thrilled to have
discovered my passion for advertising and the graphic
communication industry, especially print and graphic
design. I have had great opportunities to obtain hands on
experience working in the industry at Cedar Graphics, an
award winning print company and leader in the industry.
Social media marketing has been a new found love and
led me to believe it will provide an incredible career path.
I have gained outstanding professional experience by
working in higher education, in this facet at the University
of Northern Iowa. As a graduate with a Bachelor’s Degree
in Graphic Technologies and minors in Marketing and Art,
I am excited to dive into an industry and get my hands
dirty. It is important to me to expand my capabilites and
use my current skills at a company that fuels my passion
and continually challenges me, a place that strays from
monotony and caters to a work/life balance. As you
will see, this portfolio is full of examples of what I have
learned and the application of the knowledge I have
gained thus far.

I have a passion for
traveling and discovering
the world from a
different perspective
through the lens of a
camera. I especially
enjoy photographing
architecture and
landscapes. Finding the
perfect shot is always a
challenge when working
outdoors. Discovering
the ideal shutter-speed,
aperture and settings
for the camera certainly
pay off. These photos
are taken from my trip to
Southern Italy as well as
National Parks across the
Western United States.

Unlike shooting outdoors
taking photos indoors
working in a light room has
its own challenges. Ideal
photos produced had a white
background without the use
of Photoshop. A few hundred
shots later did the trick. While
I was working for Cedar
Graphics, a print company
I had the opportunity to
compose and produce
product shots for their
portfolio to integrate onto
their website. The purpose
was to showcase not only
the award-winning printing
but also the various types of
folds and die-cuts available to
customers.

The original design appeared in 1926
when Gill Sans painted a bookshop fascia
in sans-serif capitals for owner Douglas
Cleverdon. Gill was a well known sculptor,
graphic artist and type designer. Gill's aim
was to blend the influences of classic serif
typefaces and Roman inscriptions to create a
design that looked both cleanly modern and
traditional at the same time.The typeface was
intended to be a display and text typeface.
The popularity of Gill Sans influenced many
other typefaces, and helped to define the genre
of the humanist sans-serif.

gsShown are a few poster designs I created with an
informative purpose showcased throughout the
University of Northern Iowa campus. It is great to
be able to create concepts for events, and design
promotional pieces to accompany them which was an
experience I gained through the Campus Activities
Board.

Ski racing is on the radar here in the States once every four years when Olympic medals
are handed out. There are exceptions to the rule, though: the star power of Lindsey Vonn,
the maverick style of Bode Miller and Ted Ligety, One of the country’s most successful
skiers of all time. It’s Ligety we’ve chosen for the cover story of this month (page 26),

Ted Ligety walks into the base

spiderwebbed speedsuits swarm
him and begin begging for
autographs. “Of course,” says
Ligety, as he scribbles his name on

obliges and smiles widely as she

Though not as well known as other biking
disciplines, U.S. cyclocross is gaining in
popularity, with events more than dou-
bling in the last 10 years. Amateurs as
well as pros, like Curtis White (left/right)
are drawn in part because they are so
openly welcomed by the “come one come
all” attitude of the sport.

Variable Data
A new kind of printed marketing thanks to digital presses which
have the ability to change the copy as well as the images for each
impression they print. With Variable Data Printing documents are
able to have varying text, personalized graphics as well as images
that can change according to the demographic of the recipient and
more. With the help of page layout applications, database records,
libraries of variable images and special software that defines which
components go together, variable data printing can be achieved.
Marketing through Variable Data Printing has been shown to
improve these efforts.

Register
A method of corresponding overlaying colors on one single image.
Printers use separate C, M, Y and K plates, it is a matter of aligning
these perfectly to keep printing in register.
Misregister (Offregister)
When paper runs through a press, it absorbs moisture and has the
ability to expand or adjust. Printing plates on the press can also be
misaligned. Each of these factors can contribute to multicolor jobs
being printed out of register. When one or more inks are printed
out of register, there tend to be minor gaps or hue shifts among
adjacent colors where white paper shows through leaving fringes
of accidental color. Misregister can cause images to appear out of
focus or blurred.
Trapping
To deter misregister, adjacent colors are deliberately set to
print along common boundaries.

Annual Report
Created an Annual Report for University of Northern Iowa
Career Services for the year of 2015 using given data. It’s
purpose was to graphically highlight important statistics
from the year while integrating data in a visually pleasing
way. These are two spreads from the report itself. Though
this project I gained skills designing through a style guide
keeping branding consistent with the University as well as
unique solutions to show data graphically.

was especially important to completing this project on time. Through this project I
discovered many new uses for Photoshop that I had not previously ventured to use as
well as learning how incredibly important layers panels are to use. It was fantastic to
see this project to the end and have a tangible copy of a project I spent plenty of time
creating. The inserts followed the same process which was incredible easier after having
completed it 24x before.

CROSS CHANNEL EVENT
PROMOTION
Job Fair
Working in the office of Career Services
as a Social Media, Print and Web Design
Coordinator, the Job Fair was the greatest
exposure I obtained to promote an
event across multiple channels. Held
twice a year, once each semester, I
created promotional posters for campus
which then carried over to their web
page, Twitter and Facebook which I
simultaneously ran. These are examples
of posts and multiple designs from both
fairs. Posters translated into table tents,
web design and cover photos while event
photos turned into posts. It was incredibly
important to create a cohesive message
to promote this event with designs that
were representative the University so only
a couple of these designs were chosen for
each fair.
I got the opportunity to do
web design while work-
ing in the office of Career
Services. I really worked to
create a cohesive message
though the designs that
were representative of the
University.

PERSONAL BRANDING
More About What I Love
I have always had a passion for skiing, outdoors
and the mountains so when I was tasked with
creating a personal brand for myself, choosing
my topic was simple. I love the way social media
has been able to connect people around the
world with something they all share in common,
a desire for powder. I created my brand
Social Slopes, blogging and tweeting about
whats happening in the ski world via social
media. Through following many resorts and
companies I discovered that my passion could
easily translate into a job doing something I
love everyday. Throughout the course of this
3 month project I gained over 600 page views
and 184 followers. Although this may not seem
like much, I gained transferable experience
working with Hootsuite, Google AdWords and
Analytics as well as SEO. I worked hard building
this brand from the ground up and enjoyed
doing it, so much so, I don’t plan to stop.
These are just a few
examples of tweets I have
written and content I have
published on my blog.

  • 2. OLIVIA JASCHEN 2 An incredibly enthusiastic go-getter ready to tackle whatever the world throws at me. I am thrilled to have discovered my passion for advertising and the graphic communication industry, especially print and graphic design. I have had great opportunities to obtain hands on experience working in the industry at Cedar Graphics, an award winning print company and leader in the industry. Social media marketing has been a new found love and led me to believe it will provide an incredible career path. I have gained outstanding professional experience by working in higher education, in this facet at the University of Northern Iowa. As a graduate with a Bachelor’s Degree in Graphic Technologies and minors in Marketing and Art, I am excited to dive into an industry and get my hands dirty. It is important to me to expand my capabilites and use my current skills at a company that fuels my passion and continually challenges me, a place that strays from monotony and caters to a work/life balance. As you will see, this portfolio is full of examples of what I have learned and the application of the knowledge I have gained thus far.

I especially enjoy photographing architecture and landscapes. Finding the perfect shot is always a challenge when working outdoors. Discovering the ideal shutter-speed, aperture and settings for the camera certainly pay off. These photos are taken from my trip to Southern Italy as well as National Parks across the Western United States. PHOTOGRAPHY6 7

A few hundred shots later did the trick. While I was working for Cedar Graphics, a print company I had the opportunity to compose and produce product shots for their portfolio to integrate onto their website. The purpose was to showcase not only the award-winning printing but also the various types of folds and die-cuts available to customers. PRODUCT SHOTS 10 11

Gill was a well known sculptor, graphic artist and type designer. Gill's aim was to blend the influences of classic serif typefaces and Roman inscriptions to create a design that looked both cleanly modern and traditional at the same time.The typeface was intended to be a display and text typeface. The popularity of Gill Sans influenced many other typefaces, and helped to define the genre of the humanist sans-serif.

But his consistency at the top come with constant innovation. Meet the sport’s chief craftsman. Ted Ligety walks into the base lodge in Vail, Colorado, and instantly gets the boy band treatment. Kids in skintight, spiderwebbed speedsuits swarm him and begin begging for autographs. “Of course,” says Ligety, as he scribbles his name on several ski helmets. A young girl walks over and asks him if he’ll pose for a photo with her. Ligety obliges and smiles widely as she snaps a selfie.

With Variable Data Printing documents are able to have varying text, personalized graphics as well as images that can change according to the demographic of the recipient and more. With the help of page layout applications, database records, libraries of variable images and special software that defines which components go together, variable data printing can be achieved. Marketing through Variable Data Printing has been shown to improve these efforts. PRINTING101 PRINTING101 (Post)Press Crop/Trim Marks Marks indicating where to trim. Register A method of corresponding overlaying colors on one single image. Printers use separate C, M, Y and K plates, it is a matter of aligning these perfectly to keep printing in register. Misregister (Offregister) When paper runs through a press, it absorbs moisture and has the ability to expand or adjust. Printing plates on the press can also be misaligned. Each of these factors can contribute to multicolor jobs being printed out of register. When one or more inks are printed out of register, there tend to be minor gaps or hue shifts among adjacent colors where white paper shows through leaving fringes of accidental color. Misregister can cause images to appear out of focus or blurred. Trapping To deter misregister, adjacent colors are deliberately set to print along common boundaries. misregistration with no trap misregistration with trap Misregistration with NO Trap Misregistration WITH Trap able to have varying text, personalized graphics as well as images that can change according to the demographic of the recipient and more.

Each of these documents was created specially to showcase various types of paper coating available at Cedar Graphics. Shown here is the process of creating the varnish files so that only the designated area of the design contains the varnish, (for example matte or reticulating) depending on the color either cyan or magenta. After having completed one calendar project, the second went without a hitch. Learning how to set up files and the best order to create and design was especially important to completing this project on time. Through this project I discovered many new uses for Photoshop that I had not previously ventured to use as well as learning how incredibly important layers panels are to use. It was fantastic to see this project to the end and have a tangible copy of a project I spent plenty of time creating. The inserts followed the same process which was incredible easier after having completed it 24x before. PRE-PRESS 24 25
  • 14. CROSS CHANNEL EVENT PROMOTION Job Fair Working in the office of Career Services as a Social Media, Print and Web Design Coordinator, the Job Fair was the greatest exposure I obtained to promote an event across multiple channels. Held twice a year, once each semester, I created promotional posters for campus which then carried over to their web page, Twitter and Facebook which I simultaneously ran. These are examples of posts and multiple designs from both fairs. Posters translated into table tents, web design and cover photos while event photos turned into posts. It was incredibly important to create a cohesive message to promote this event with designs that were representative the University so only a couple of these designs were chosen for each fair. I got the opportunity to do web design while work- ing in the office of Career Services. I really worked to create a cohesive message though the designs that were representative of the University.

  • 15. PERSONAL BRANDING More About What I Love I have always had a passion for skiing, outdoors and the mountains so when I was tasked with creating a personal brand for myself, choosing my topic was simple. I love the way social media has been able to connect people around the world with something they all share in common, a desire for powder. I created my brand Social Slopes, blogging and tweeting about whats happening in the ski world via social media. Through following many resorts and companies I discovered that my passion could easily translate into a job doing something I love everyday. Throughout the course of this 3 month project I gained over 600 page views and 184 followers. Although this may not seem like much, I gained transferable experience working with Hootsuite, Google AdWords and Analytics as well as SEO. I worked hard building this brand from the ground up and enjoyed doing it, so much so, I don’t plan to stop. These are just a few examples of tweets I have written and content I have published on my blog. 28 29
