Cara Keener is an independent graphic designer with over 15 years of experience in marketing and advertising. She created advertisements for Woodstock Publishing using skills from her research on graphic design such as using InDesign to lay out pages with pictures, text, and color palettes. As this was her first graphic design project, she learned about using InDesign's tools and the importance of patience, time management, and creativity.
