Time Magazine Cover Design

For this project, we designed our own magazine covers with original photography and graphics that were exact replications of the original magazine layout and styles. Using a copy of the magazine as our guide, we measured the layout specifications and created our own design with InDesign using photo edits from Photoshop and vector elements from Illustrator. I made my cover for Time magazine with a story where I'm acting out the world's greatest Mafia leader.

Personal Media Artwork Branding Logos

For this project, we designed logos to represent ourselves and our own professional work as media artists. After brainstorming and creating some logo ideas, we shared these with the class for feedback and finalized our designs with social media banners to advertise the work we will be creating into the future. Look out for this logo more soon!

Hit the Slopes- Snowboard Designs

For this project, we made our own snowboard designs with a completely open-ended prompt! We made these as an homage to Jake Carpenter, the Vermont native who founded Burton snowboards and passed away in 2019. Using an official board mockup project file, these original designs are offered as a pitch to Burton for a new board design! Zoom in close to my second design for a surprise in the background pattern...

Fiddlers Green Construction Company Branding Designs

For this project we worked with a construction/design company in Stowe called Fiddlers Green who focused on building homes and managing properties in some of Vermont's most beautiful areas. We submitted logo ideas for consideration to represent their Vermont-based construction work and to visualize the mythical Fiddlers Green from folklore of an afterlife where fiddlers played without ever tiring, like the company's work ethic and values! In addition to making logos, we also designed color schemes and mockups of t-shirts for employees featuring logo ideas.

Paula Higa Dance Designs

For this project, we worked with a dance team based out of Burlington, Vermont. Led by Paula Higa, a professor of dance at University of Vermont, they specialize in deeply meaningful and metaphorical dance pieces to communicate through movement. Paula suggested we make designs with the PHD lettermark and that we could reference Brazil, her native country, in our works. These are some logos and sketches that I submitted to be considered!

Cartoon Portrait

This was our first real design project to make vector art. We used the Pen Tool to learn about creating vector graphics with closed shapes and layers to create cartoon versions of characters, I decided to make our lord Keanu Reeves.

Spell It Out- Typography Art Piece

For this project, we used typography as building blocks for our own original art pieces. We used functions like type on a path and vector text editing to stretch, bend, and arrange type as a graphic object. I made this design based on Gilgamesh, the graphic is of Gilgamesh from fate and the text in the background is the first part of the epic of Gilgamesh.

Build an Identity - Branding Designs

To practice some of the graphic design and branding work we’ll be doing with clients this year, we started original identity design work by practicing with fake businesses. After learning about these businesses with a creative brief, we worked to design a set of logo concepts, a color scheme, and a demonstration half-page advertisement for them. My business was the Rise and Shine bakery they wanted to present themselves as a more handmade business and to show that they were welcoming but also wanted to compete with other big business bakeries. I started by drawing the logo ideas and then scanning them and digitally touching up the logos that I liked.

The Big Show - Event Poster Design

For this project, we practiced designing posters for shows taking place at Vermont’s biggest music venue, Higher Ground in Burlington. Although we were allowed to use a logo and a photo of the performers, this design is fully original! I had no idea what act I wanted to make a design for, so I decided to do a more funny joke idea poster as if Obama "II" were coming to Vermont to do a speech.

Cappuccino Culture - Coffee Drink Can Design

This project was a class design challenge to create a logo and package design for a new coffee drink by a fictional company called Cappuccino Culture. For this challenge, Cappuccino Culture were hiring our class to design branding and a package “cover” for a new iced coffee drink called Vermont Sunrise. These were some of my design concepts, and I used my favorite design to showcase the product on the mockup of the can!

Biopic Self-Portrait

This was one of our final projects to create a biopic image/video/design that represented ourselves and who we are, I used a lot mechanical and metallic imagery, to match with the clocks but also because it is just something I like as well as a glitch effect to everything. After, I adjusted the colours of all of the images to fit more with the base red of the image of me.
