Hi! My name is Matt Hall and I’m the new creative director at the Clarion! I’ve been a working as a graphic designer here since May of this year. I’m a second-year visual communications major and have a passion for design.
I started classes at Sinclair in August of last year. I really love the campus and all the classes that I’ve taken so far, especially my design classes. The food here isn’t half bad either!
Since I began my job as a graphic designer for the Clarion, I’ve definitely learned a lot about design and teamwork. I’m seriously grateful for all of my co-workers and friends that I’ve met so far as well. They’ve been so supportive and have some great ideas for the Clarion’s future.
One of my favorite memories I’ve made while at the Clarion was the creation of Clary, our official mascot. He’s a little rolled up Clarion newspaper with a cartoon face. He’s adorable. I fondly remember designing him and making all his different poses. He’s basically my child.
As for the future of the Clarion, I hope that we can make many improvements to the paper in the next few months. We plan on improving the website and advertising especially. Plus, we plan on making Clary’s presence on campus much more prevalent! So keep an eye out for him.
I will continue to help out at the Clarion as much as possible, and hope to do a great job as our new creative director!
Matt Hall
