For this project, we analyzed real magazines and made design mockups using the exact sizing specifications of their cover layouts. Once we got all the sizing and design trends right, we used our own original photography and typography/color designs to re-create the magazine cover on our own. This was my design for National Geographic Magazine featuring a panorama shot in the White Mountains!
For this project, we were given creative briefs that outlined information about fake businesses based on real local businesses that were seeking a re-branding with logos, advertisements, color schemes, and more. These were the designs I made to reflect the company's goals and culture!
Logo concepts:
For this project, we worked with a band in Burlington, VT who play music in the style of the 1990's. They hired us to design new logos that they could use online and as stickers to promote their band. These were the designs I submitted, playing on the visual style of the 1990's!
For this project, we created a piece of graphic art using typography as our main tool. The typeface I used is meant to contribute to the image concept. I made my design on Martin Luther King and used path line tools to showcase US in many ways using variations of the typeface Gotham.
For this project, we mastered the pen tool and manual digital drawing techniques to make complete vector drawings of cars, vehicles, and complicated shapes. Using a photo to guide me, I made my digital drawing of a camper van!
For this project, we learned to use the Pen Tool to make cartoon portraits of ourselves. We also learned to use our vinyl printer by printing these out as stickers!
For this project, we practiced branding and logo design to create a series of logos for a fictional company that was making a peanut-butter bar that was tasty as candy and healthy as a nutritional bar. After designing some logos, we created mockups to show the logos in action on a demonstration of the packaging!
Logo ideas:
For this project, we made original designs to showcase the primary and secondary colors in our own color wheel graphic. I created my color wheel by showcasing an array of my photography, choosing images that presented a color palette of the primary and secondary colors.
For this project, we researched a musical artist and made mood boards about their style and artistic approach. Then we designed our own album art for one of their albums, showing a consistent concept across the cover, inside, traycard, and disc art. My design for Ronald Jenkee's "Into the Storm" features original photography and some creative typography concepts to showcase the album and its tracks.
For this project, we designed logos to represent ourselves as media artists, such as on our website or as watermarks on our photos. These are some of my ideation concepts.
