My favorite graphic design projects combine typography and images to create beautiful, effective layouts for books, visual media, and websites. I love discovering the perfect typeface combinations for all my projects and I really enjoy creting typographical logos (logotypes). A great example of my book layout skills can be seen in my portfolio as the "Craft Book Design" project. Feedback from this client is included in my Upwork profile and my website graphic design portfolio under Ellie Fisher. This project was especially enjoyable for me because I love all things crafs! I'm also a 15+ year veteran instructor and instructional designer specializing in asynchronous, interactive online courses using Articulate Storyline and Rise. Clients and colleagues describe my design work as clean, visually appealing, and effective. I'm known as a clear and frequent communicator, and I offer suggestions and improvements to help clients find the look that fits their vision. My certification as a Cultural Intelligence Facilitator allows me to create learning and visual designs that are inclusive and culturally relevant. You can view both my graphic design and instructional design portfolios on my website through the "Portfolio" section on my Upwork profile (below on this page). I work out of the Eastern Time Zone in the United States.
