Contributor Limelight: Dianna Totland

Dianna Totland has designed ads, promotional materials and event flyers for SLUG Mag since March 2015. With each layout, Totland has designed her way to our hearts as she’s taken on each assignment. She counts her favorite projects as the Localized posters she’s designed, but also enjoys—and, of course, excels at—a variety of posters in which she can implement not only her computer-based graphic design skills but her handy illustrative ones, too. This month, you can find Totland’s handiwork at SLUG Mag’s Brewstillery: A Local Beer and Spirits Festival on May 18, as she laid out the signage and other onsite material for the festival. Totland is a fan of SLUG’s biannual Brewstillery festival series and of our sister organization, Craft Lake City, and its annual DIY Festival. Overall, Totland loves helping SLUG promote Utah’s art scene, and we love her all the more for it!
