My responsibilities included creating journal concepts, planning page layouts, formatting content, selecting appropriate typography, designing covers, arranging prompts and writing sections, and preparing editable Canva templates. I focused on making each design easy to edit, print, duplicate, and customize while maintaining a professional appearance.
