My First real design class was Typography 1 with the great John Kane. When I started the class I knew literally nothing other than how to follow an online tutorial and apply those concepts to projects I wanted to create (horrible mismatched creations that violated typography and design principles left and right – really only good for demonstrating a knowledge of software). This poster is what I feel brought me the furthest in terms of design. I learned to use a column system and how to use color theory to illustrate depth. I also learned a significant amount about illustrator – Download a pdf of this Type1 Bodoni Poster for a better view. Continue reading →
I have some time off so there is no reason why I should not put my efforts into displaying making and displaying one good photo per week. Just for kicks – More old stuff:
A few months ago I worked on a project with Professor Anne McDonald that involved branding and video production within a very tight time frame. In less than 35 hours we developed the branding, and video for the 2010 MacArthur Digital Media and Learning Competition. Our entry was NoxNoMore – the winner of a 150,000 dollar grant to develop software that encourages people to travel in environmentally friendly ways while educating them about how various machines around them function.
Really the first demo reel I’ve ever made. It has a lot of old work where I was just learning how to use most of of the software I am competent with now. I am currently making every effort to show something that proves this is obsolete – It’s just up to have SOMETHING to show (probably hurting me more than helping).
