For this project, we analyzed real magazine cover layouts and got all the necessary measurements to create mockups for our own versions of their cover art. After that, we did our own photography and design work to shoot photos and design our own cover story. My magazine is Wired and I wanted to create a technology-driven look to match with some original 3D art that I made!
For this open-ended project, we were told to create our own color wheel to practice color theory, featuring the artists primary, secondary, and tertiary colors. My piece was mostly just for fun, but I like to imagine it just represents the fun in creating something and showcases the color spectrum in order!
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 the brand and style I'm using for a game development group I have established with some friends called Quartzcrow!
For this project, we were hired by the Vermont chapter of Chicks In Bowls to design graphics for their organization that promotes quad roller skating and skateboarding for the female, trans, and non-binary community. We worked to make designs they could use on social media, t-shirts, stickers, and more to promote their brand and showcase the awesome activities they inspire!
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 mockup of how my branding would look on an actual product can!
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 COVID-19. My Medical Professions partner sent the text and some basic design concepts, and from there, I made this design with custom graphics and a layout to advertise this medical issue!
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 Earthy Grounds, a coffee shop that wanted to have a more elegant and refined brand to move away from their "hippy" roots.. 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 (featuring original photography and editing) to showcase how the business could make use of the visual brand I envisioned for them!
These were some logo designs I made for a friend of mine exploring with typography and graphics.
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!

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.
