Hello!

About Me

My name is Polly Murphy. I am a third-year honors graphic design student at The University of Akron. I work for The University of Akron’s UAx Extended Campus, where I have done many different design projects ranging from fliers and posters to social media content. I also do freelance photography as well, and I have a passion for hand lettering and calligraphy. I am proficient in the Adobe Creative Suite, a good leader and team player, and I love being creative and finding unique ways to solve visual communication problems. I am very versatile with my designs, and I love to experiment with different styles and aesthetics! Some of my design favorites include:

  • Typeface: Avenir
  • Character(s): Ampersand (and sign) + Octothorpe (pound sign)
  • Color: Purple
  • Adobe Software: InDesign
