Spectrum of Light- Color Wheel design

For this open-ended project, we showcased our knowledge of color theory to make our own color wheel where color drove the meaning behind our own original art piece. My color wheel features the artist’s primary and secondary colors with an original 3D art design I made exploring Adobe's new Dimension software!

Build An Identity- Business Branding Design

For this project, we each got a fake business based on a real local business that we were tasked to make designs for. My business was Skylark, a construction/architecture firm hoping to grow their business and brand appeal. To approach this project as a graphic designer, I analyzed my business by reading quotes and goals of theirs in a creative brief and then designed a 5-color scheme palette, collection of logo mockups, and a demonstration half-page advertisement to showcase how the business could make use of the visual brand I envisioned for them!

Personal Logo Designs

For this project, we created logos and banners to advertise our own media work with marketing-ready graphics! These were some of the designs I created that reflect my brand and my style as an artist.

Spelling It Out- Typography Design

For this project, we created more advanced typography art using clipping masks, type on a path tool, and type modification techniques. I used the masking and many layers of text objects to make a typography remix of Tyler The Creator's "Igor" album!

Griefcase Band Logo and Branding Work

For this project, we worked with a new Vermont band called “Griefcase.” They hired our class to make logo designs for their debut album and for t-shirts that they are printing out, so these were some of the designs I submitted. Since their musical influences were 1990’s and 2000’s rock bands, I did some research into the genre and made logos to match the feel of their alternative rock sound!

Driven to Design- Car Drawing

For this project, we showed greater mastery of the Pen Tool to make a digital drawing graphic of a vehicle. I made my vector drawing of a Tesla Cybertruck. Check out the before and after below!

Healthy Graphics- Medical Professions Infographic

For this project, we worked with students in the Medical Professions program to design infographics that will be hung up at the Central Vermont Hospital! My poster is about CDC Recommendations for PPE (Personal Protective Gear) featuring some original graphic renders. My Medical Professions partner sent the info and some basic design concepts, and from there, I made this design with custom graphics and a layout to advertise this medical issue!

S.E.A. Program logo design and Branding

For this project, we worked with a new program at our partner school called Spaulding Educational Alternatives. We used input they provided on a design brief to offer some logo and graphic ideas that they can use when they open their new school campus. We are waiting to see which design they will pick to use on t-shirts, letterheads, stickers, their website, and more!

MNDFL Drink Package Design

For this one-day class challenge, we competed to make the most interesting and most eye-appealing can/package design for a product called MNDFL (like “mindful”), a fictional energy drink that offered a healthier, earth-conscious, and more sustainable product than other more “macho” energy drinks. After making several logo thumbnails, I chose my favorite design to make this 3D product mockup of how my branding would look on an actual product can!

Cartoonize Yourself- Intro to the Pen Tool

This was our first time using the pen tool in Adobe Illustrator to make custom shapes. Using portrait photos as guides, we made cartoon versions of ourselves! We also printed these out as stickers.
