Amber Sowell Portfolio
Hey Yall!
Im Amber Sowell. I attended the University of South Carolina, where I received
my Bachelors degree in Journalism
and Mass Communications.For my degree my focus was a Visual Communications major and a Sociology minor.
I like visual communications because
it allows me to do a little bit of everything; which is always helpful. I absolutely love design especially illustration.
Since I love what I do I work hard at it
and am always open to new ideas. I am
constantly learning new things and developing new concepts and hope that my
work reflects that. Please enjoy my portfolio and I hope to hear from you soon!

Signing a Lease
DO NOT sign a lease
simply to secure a place
to live. Read the lease
before signing it. Signing a
lease does not just reserve
you a place to live, it is a
legal document. Once
you sign the lease, you are
responsible for the provisions
of that lease. If there are
agreements between you
and the landlord regarding
changes to the lease or
property, do not sign the
lease unless the changes are
in writing.
Are the off campus housing properties affiliated with the University?
No, all the properties are owned independently of the University.
Can I use my financial aid to pay for my off
campus housing?
Students may use their financial to pay
for housing but it cannot be paid the same
