First Years’ Guide
In my role as the Marketing and Media (Publications) Director for the UNSW Psychology Society in 2022, I spearheaded the creation of the First Years' Guide - a helpful tool for the thousands of first-year students commencing their university studies in 2022.
Given the tight deadline of just 3 weeks (compared to the usual 3 months), this project was a significant undertaking, especially as my first major project in the newly established position of Publications Director. I led a team of subcommittee members for the design and contributed to the guide's overall design, written content, and editing.
Although it was stressful, with the help and support of the Academic portfolio, my fellow directors and subcommittee members, the publication turned out to be a huge success.
The publication was meticulously crafted using Adobe InDesign and printed for distribution during UNSW Orientation Week to over 200 students, reaching over 2,000 students in-person and online. The guide's playful retro-funky theme and fun reinvention of an instructional tool garnered attention from other faculties and inspired them to create their own themed First Years’ Guides.
