Sci-Center was a temporary personal project meant to publicize science in the eyes of peers my age, in the form of a low-resource, low intensity blog. This was done to maximize accessibility without compromising the integrity of its content.
On a weekly basis, I compiled news from the scientific world in the form of a scheduled “Recent Updates/Advancements” post to promote the image of science as an ever-spinning wheel of innovation, and to hopefully give some good news to individuals who would otherwise need it. The updates are gathered from reputable sources, and focus on 6 domains: ▪ 1. Biology ▪ 2. Astronomy ▪ 3. Medicine ▪ 4. Technology ▪ 5. Paleontology ▪ 6. Anthropology.
This was another temporary (6 month) personal project. This time, it was meant to serve as a sci-fi inspiration and reference archive for budding artists, writers, and content-creators. My goal was to establish a self-sustaining community of positive feedback and constructive criticism—that way, it’s a perfect breeding ground for original content, which are encouraged as submissions to maximize visibility.
When’s the last time you got sick? A month ago? Maybe even a few years ago. We tend to take modern medicine for granted; before it, we relied almost exclusively on herbs and plants to get us by. Maybe it’s time we got back to our roots. But this time, in a fun, innovative way. HerbQuest is a side-scrolling platformer game created with MIT Flowlab technology to promote, share, and educate us on the history of patchouli. It takes us on journeys that span continents, through deserts, jungles, and danger. It’s a history lesson you’ll never get anywhere else, and the difference is -- you’ll be having enough fun to remember it.
We were instructed to create a poster promoting Women's History Month by using an icon from female history who stood out as an inspiration to the cause.
Austrian actress Hedy Lamarr fled an oppressive marriage to to America and created a name for herself as one of Hollywood's top leading ladies in the 1940s.
She was a fashion icon, a bombshell, and a glamorous star, but she was also a talented and inquisitive inventor who created some of the most advanced technological systems of World War II, including a radio system that is now considered the basis of Bluetooth technology.
Hedy has gone both underrated and undermined throughout history. I figured it'd be appropriate to make her name known.
In this project, the star on her forehead symbolizes her stardom, and it's also a piece of one of her most iconic costumes from the set of Ziegfeld Girl.
The planes and soldiers behind her represent the war she contributed to. The schematics overlaid on her clothes are, clearly, what she contributed with.
The project didn't call for a movie poster, per se--but I felt it was only appropriate.
