Bailey was involved in a variety of student organizations during college and held leadership positions in student housing, creative expression, and political education and organizing groups. Before the pursuit of an advertising degree was even a thought, Bailey used skills learned in one introductory Adobe Illustrator course to create promotional materials for these organizations, and even created templates that adhered to school posting guidelines for use by other clubs.

The Vagina Monologues

The Vagina Monologues is a collection of narratives by feminist author Eve Ensler, originally performed as a one-woman show, now showcased by colleges and community groups in an annual “V-Day” tradition to raise money for local and national rape crisis centers. Bailey performed in the McDaniel College production during both years of enrollment and was enlisted by the show’s director to create promotional graphics for social media. They were quickly shared from the cast to the rest of campus, using visual and textual references to popular culture to grab attention from students across campus with different interests.

Sample Student Organization Posters

These posters were designed to fit McDaniel College campus posting guidelines and were offered to organizations across campus. Bailey used these to as an opportunity to hone graphic design skills learned in one course and self-teach new ones as needed.
