Apa: Division 55
The tablet newsletter
What is it?
The American Psychological Association’s (APA) Division 55, Society for Prescribing Psychology, is a professional organization within the APA dedicated to improving futures for patient’s and practice of prescribing psychologists. Division 55’s seasonal newsletter, The Tablet, highlights legislative updates, division news, and stories relevant to the practice of prescribing psychologists.
As a member of The Tablet’s Editorial & Design Team, I worked as a lead designer and content developer. I co-authored the Student Corner’s first article which reported our interview with two practicing prescribing psychologists in Texas.
The challenge: We set out to re-vamp The Tablet’s out-of-date design that relied heavily on Microsoft Word graphics. We were also challenged with spearheading a student-forward editorial section.
The solution: Using Canva to collaborate live with the design team, we created updated color schemes based on The Tablet’s original design, updated the logo, established typeface & font sets, created new graphical templates, and made the web-only newsletter interactive with live links & media. Initiated the Student Corner section, including publishing an article, original infographics, and calls-to-action.
Role: Graphic Designer, Cover Designer; Content Developer for The Student Corner (Editions: Spring 2023, Summer 2023, Spring 2024)
