Advance Typography - Weather Report

In this assignment, we used After Effects to animate a futuristic weather report. It needed to have 3 transitions so mine consisted of Location, Time, and Category. It may be abstract, but I feel I succeeded in creating a futuristic theme. I learned many After Effects skills with this project.

Graphic Design II - Kitchen of Meaning

The Kitchen of Meaning project is one where we needed to define a word by using illustrations and other elements of design. My assigned word was "zeitgeist". As a part of the project, we needed to provide a design synopsis and it is as follows:
 
"For a word that is defined as “the spirit of the times”, I went for a different approach from the American Flag idea to define zeitgeist. Since zeitgeist is based off of a certain time period, I decided to base my design on a time period that has much history behind it, the 1960’s. The 1960’s is represented on my poster by the color scheme, the typefaces I chose, and the different symbols that define the sprit of that time period. I decided to make a symbol for every person in the class and placed their names under them to show that the 1960’s was a time period that the people played a big part of, not just events or ideas." 

Graphic Design II - Instructional Design

Our goal of this project was to design a set of instructions for a certain goal that is easy to follow. My topic was "How to Mail a Package". My intentions were to create these instructions as if they were a link on the USPS website. These instructions were designed in Flash so that you can click through each step of the instructions with ease.

Image Methodology - Critical Mass

As a class, we had to take pictures of different objects and upload them to the class server. Using those objects, we needed to create a metaphor that represented a science topic. I decided to use all of the pictures in the server that were food items and recreate the Big Bang Theory. Instead of planets, the Big Bang Theory is represented by food in this video I created.

Image Methodology - Material Studies

Open publication - Free publishing - More design


Typography plays a big part in graphic design and in this project we had to materials in order to create a word. I studied materials such as utensils, head phones, and skate boards. This book shows the process of how I got to my final word which includes the different variations of the different materials I studied.

Image Methodology - Scales

As a project, we had to create a Tumblr account and post artwork that we used to answer questions. I chose my best three pieces of work to show in this blog and I created them in the international and constructivism styles.

This was my first project in Image Methodology and I had to take six different pictures that represent the different elements of design. Each picture had to have an element of design in common with the picture before it. Here is the list of the elements of designs I used as transitions:

Picture 1 to 2: Space
Picture 2 to 3: Line
Picture 3 to 4: Color
Picture 4 to 5: Texture
Picture 5 to 6: Shape
