Scarlet Magazine

Nasiriyah Meets Newark

This project was completed in collaboration with the Journalism Senior Capstone and featured an editorial spotlight on Newark Mayor Ras Baraka. The design supported in-depth reporting by visually enhancing the narrative and creating a cohesive, print-ready layout that balanced journalistic integrity with strong visual storytelling


Visual Editorial Design: Designed a visually compelling layout for Scarlet Magazine’s feature, “Nasiriyah Meets Newark,” highlighting the cultural exchange between Newark and Nasiriyah through the lens of Mayor Ras Baraka. The design merges journalistic storytelling with clean, modern visuals—creating a layout that is both impactful and adaptable for print and digital formats.

This project demonstrated my ability to translate complex themes into visually compelling narratives. It also reinforced my strength in using design to build credibility and engagement, even when working with unconventional or evolving subject matter.
