The 2022 Spring Magazine was designed entirely by Ayrianna Sherwood. It displays an advanced knowledge of InDesign, with a variety of page layouts created without a template and based solely on the creativity of the designer. The spreads come together cohesively while looking drastically different. Each page brings a unique element of creativity while fitting in with the design style of the magazine as a whole.

This graphic was made quickly and had an almost immediate turn-around time, required by one of the Kennedy High School Show Choir Directors. It displays the competition times for both Kennedy Show Choirs while keeping with the varsity show choir's theme of "Mr. Rogers." It also fits with the minimalistic and cartoonish style of the show's advertising, blending in with other promotional material.

Stepping into the Torch's first newspaper on a platform such as InDesign requires a true understanding of the program. Using only the grainy photos provided by the Kennedy yearbooks, Ayrianna was able to not only incorporate them in different layouts on each page but also utilize them in unexpected ways, such as the mascot cutouts on page five, giving each page a unique structure with limited material to work with. She completed this project entirely on her own and worked through problems after the loss of the entire magazine following a district-wide data breach.
Two-Hour Delay Schedule

Two-hour delays come quickly in Iowa and the first came unexpectedly for Kenedy. It was officially called at 5 a.m. and Ayrianna stepped up to create a unique graphic for the Kennedy Torch to put out as a way to spread the information to students who don't receive the district-wide phone calls. The graphic was posted before school would have started and served as an effective way to spread the word, shared around the community through reposts on Instagram stories.

Ayrianna branched out from typical designs of advertisements and announcements to create a mini-profile for the Torch website. The feature of one of Kennedy's senior bowlers proved to be a popular way to spread the news and was shared around the school. It became one of Torch's most popular forms of media and catalyzed Torch's use of feature graphics as profiles.
