FIU Honors College Magazine Design

Cover and two spreads from my recently designed Honors College semi-annual magazine for Florida International University.

Update: FIU Honors College Magazine Wins National Award. MIAMI (September 13, 2011)- Summa cum Laude, the FIU Honors College magazine, has been awarded first prize for best publication in the faculty/administration/student-published category by the National Collegiate Honors Council. The magazine was selected from among fifteen publications competing for the award. Read more...

So this is how I'm currently spending my daytime hours. I recently designed the Honors College semi-annual magazine for Florida International University from front cover to back cover. You can view the entire publication by following this link and clicking on the magazine thumbnail: FIU Honors College Magazine

Update: Below someone posting as anonymous has accused me of misappropriating the design of this award winning publication. Rest assured, I and I alone laid out the spreads, chose and set the type, edited and placed the artwork, and designed the ads that appear on several pages except for the student submitted ad on the back cover. As you can see here I am credited on the front page as designer. In fact, I was responsible for the design of Summa Cum Laude magazine from 2011 to 2014 and I have the credit on each and everyone of those issues to prove it. To make accusations such as this anonymous fraud is making is beyond the pale and a personal insult and I challenge him/her to reveal themselves and make a proper claim.

    Beautiful work. The printed version was really impressive. You also highlighted your design skills by the way you presented posting. When you get time (?), you could share with everyone, what software you used and what the job entailed. I know the hours something like this takes, but your sharing what is involved to do this would be helpful to other students, I am sure. Again, well done.

  4. What a liar you are Rafael. You worked on this FIU magazine? I worked on this FIU magazine from front cover to back and Dean Lesley Northup at FIU was a major part of this creation. You are a disgrace. How can you mislead others to make a buck?
    People, please turn the first page and look at the credits for editors and designers. Do you see this joker Rafael's name there?

    2. This is a joke, right? 1. My name is on the 1st page credited as designer. 2. I worked with Lesley and the Honor's College on this as they provided the material, photos, etc, but the layout/design is mine. I worked on the design of every page of that publication, including the ads, except for the student provided ad on the back cover. And why do you post as anonymous? At least have the courage to post who you are instead of coming here and spreading misinformation.

    3. And one more thing, it's obvious by posting anonymously that you understand what you did is slanderous and you could be held criminally liable. You better hope I never find out who you are because if I do I will sue you for intentionally slandering me and trying to damage my reputation.
