My name is Cailin Tran, and I am a passionate and creative graphic designer with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Louisiana State University. My most important skills include proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop), a keen eye for detail, and a deep understanding of typography, color theory, and layout principles. What sets me apart from other designers is my hands-on experience at LSU Reveille, where I created diverse and impactful designs under tight deadlines, and my ability to seamlessly blend creativity with strategic thinking. My commitment to delivering high-quality work that meets client needs and my enthusiasm for embracing innovative design techniques make me a valuable asset to any project. I am dedicated to helping clients achieve their vision through exceptional design. --- FREELANCE SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING DESIGN DATES FROM JANUARY 2024 – CURRENT Made graphics for LSU’s Skate Club including their Instagram’s profile picture and a poster for both digital and print purposes Made a Valentine’s Day promotional graphic for a local small seafood business (University Seafood) to post on their socials Designed a new logo for a local small business (Village Deli & Market) to print stickers for their in-house pork crackling packaging Collaborated with Monster Unleashed to promote their new Hard Tea alcoholic beverage with a panorama (continuous scroll) post on my personal Instagram and story - GRAPHIC DESIGNER, LSU REVEILLE DATES FROM SEPTEMBER 2021 – MAY 2022 Made graphics for the different sections of the student-run newspaper (entertainment, news, sports, etc) for print and online Made logos for each story highlight on LSU Reveille’s Instagram Designed a large hallway poster Communicated via Slack and in-person before, throughout, and after design process Made revisions to designs as necessary Formatted illustrations to fit into Adobe InDesign - CONTENT CREATOR, YOUTUBE DATES FROM JULY 2013 – APRIL 2022 Filmed content with a Canon camera Edited content with different programs over the years (iMovie, Final Cut Pro, and Adobe Premiere) Edited thumbnails with Adobe Illustrator Analyzed popular trends, identified content gaps, and the proper channels for promotion (via other social media) Relied on user feedback and criticism to build a following Utilized SEO strategies to reach a niche audience (specific tags and words listed in the video description) Stats as of 4/22/2024 (despite no longer posting videos) 9.6k subscribers 339k+ views (for public videos) Most viewed: 590k…My name is Cailin Tran, and I am a passionate and creative graphic designer with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Louisiana State University.
