A simple exercise about hierarchy by varying type size, weight, color and positioning in our prompt turns into our first poster and project for our Typography I class with Professor Dan Boyarski.
Our final project was to use type and image to reinterpret a myth or song. I chose to make the song Yellow by Coldplay with into zoetrope. I took the photos, constructed the form, made the video, and composed the music to bring new meaning to the popular song.
The Waffle Shop is a student-run restaurant and reality TV talk show managed by Jon Rubin. In the semester that I was part of, I got to help redesign the look of the store and design different postcards, t-shirts, and other promotional items for the Waffle Shop.
In my first trip to the Phipps Conservatory, I encountered a number of beautiful flora and fauna, including the colorful garden croton. I explored its contrasting curves and looping form in a series of gesture sketches, countour drawings, and black and white studies.
Inspired by the world around me, the issues at hand, and my feelings at the moment, I find it hard to channel everything into the very cerebral design work I do every day. So instead I draw weekly illustrations for the Tartan Newspaper.
Always expect more work.
