POWERED BY CAFE CON LECHE
& MY 90'S HIP HOP PLAYLIST
The wedding dress has been the one piece of clothing that has always stayed true to tradition and reflected the status of women at that particular time. Through the exploration of the past and interviews with current industry professionals, this magazine explores the future of the wedding dress in relation to the female empowerment movement that are very present in our society today.
This project was made possible with the help of amazing industry professionals including: The Salvage Snob, PrimRose Florals & Event Design,A&Be Bridal Shop, Ever After Floral Design, Alisa Ferris Photography, Cely's Events, Alina Moleta Planning and Events, & Coby Brown Photography.

When developing this project, I began by thinking to myself: What would my world look like if the Bay of Pigs Invasion would have been successful? From this question, I created the concept for a conference that would join together two generations of Cuban people, those that had lived in Cuba and those in my generation who identify as Cuban- American. Due to the fact that my generation is now going out into the work force and beginning to create families of our own, this conference would be dedicated to an open discussion about what the next move of the Cuban people will be. How should we raise our children to keep true with Cuban tradition? Should we go back to Cuba? What can we do for the Cuban people as a generation of Cuban- Americans? .

The Theory
The Theory is an album and tour concept created for Grand Master Flash that would take place in the Bronx, New York. The tour would entail visiting different high schools in the area in order to give them a show that ties together Math and Science through the use of Hip Hop history. Grand Master flash often admits that he would be nowhere without his knowledge of math and science. This is because he believes that they were the foundation to his Quick Mix Theory. It was this theory that made him one of the three founders of hip hop and cemented his name in history forever. Teaming up with the South Bronx Educational Foundation, this tour would hopefully raise money to further education in this area.

Caro Benitez
As a graphic designer in the marketing department in the division of Enrollment Management of the University of Miami I have gained first hand experience with both print and digital platforms. I create intricate pieces that bring to life the confident voice the University of Miami is known for in order to attract students to apply to the university. By working first hand with printers and the many schools and colleges in the university, I strive to meet the needs of the Office of Undergraduate Admission and have bettered my understanding of typography and illustration.

Campus
Visit Guide
When potential students visit our campus we want to make sure that they are greeted with a piece that has the confident and vibrant voice of both the university and the city. This piece highlights the important spots throughout campus and contains a map that showcases some of the most iconic places to visit throughout the city of Miami. I truly enjoyed illustrating these landmarks as well as the buildings on campus themselves.
Traveling
Print Publications
Many of the pieces I created were mailed to potential and future students or travelled with the admission officers on their tours of high schools around the world. It was exciting to make pieces that would be used to sell the school and interact with so many different kinds of people.
