Los Angeles Times

Editorial illustration, marketing design

From June to September 2024, I was a design intern for the Los Angeles Times. During my time as an intern, I created editorial illustrations and marketing assets for De Los, a community-driven platform by the L.A. Times that covers everything Latinidad in Los Angeles and the country. I also contributed illustrations to Features and Opinion.

Editorial Illustrations

I researched, developed and designed editorial illustrations for 4 to 6 stories per week. Each illustration uses digital photo collage and aligns with the De Los brand identity. Click on each illustration to open it in full-screen and follow the link button to read the accompanying story.

Event Banners

Photoshop

I created event banners for De Los in Photoshop. The left banner was presented on a digital screen at the 2024 L.A. Times Food Bowl. The right banner was used in an Evite for a mixer for the National Association of Hispanic Journalists, hosted by De Los.

De Los Postcard

I designed a postcard with a QR code that links to the De Los website and merchandise store. The postcard was handed out at an event in 2024.
