Graphic Design

Plastic Oceans is a series that I created about the dangers of pollution in the ocean. The activity book is geared towards children. While the poster, which is created on the letterpress, is more about creating awareness for community clean-up opportunities. 

The two magazine spreads that are showcased above in the slideshow provide different aspects of my design and art abilities. In the Adele magazine spread, I experiment with creating my own type. Both the title "Adele" and the shape on the next page are a mixture of watercolor and line work, which is a common media I use. In the phobia magazine, I have illustrated an entire cover that describes my fear of stink bugs. I exaggerated my fear by making the stink bugs larger than life and in massive quantities to bring a sense of panic and disgust to viewers, so they understand and relate to my fear.

This is a series of posters that I have illustrated and formatted to depict some of the more traditional aspects of Oktoberfest. Both illustrations are based on photographs that I had taken during my time at Springfest in Munich, Germany. During Oktoberfest and Springfest, there are parades featuring  horse drawn carriages that showcase the different beer selections, which is a yearly event for both. I also chose to paint a girl in the iconic dirndl, so that viewers could see the types of traditions that take place during these festivals.

Neighborhood Sun is a community solar panel company that I researched and then created an informational booklet about their company and solar panels.  The design that appears on the cover is re-occurring throughout the booklet. It is based on  how solar panels look when placed next to each other. The colors themselves are pulled from the company's logo. I believed that the pink and maroon would help create a fun attitude towards solar panels, while having the green relates it back to clean energy and the environment.     

Steam Ahead is a fictional business that I created in order to provide examples of original logos, a prototype website and design work. I chose primary colors to represent this "business," because I believe they are simplistic and reminiscent of elementary school learning.

Note: The business itself is supposed to inform viewers of the benefits of STEAM education (which includes the arts as a means to educate) where as STEM education does not include the arts. 

TipSee is a prototype app that I have created for millenials that pinpoints wineries in their area and around the United States. while providing feedback, directions, etc. 

The booklet that describes the app is in the slideshow above and the logo I created is the thumbnail.
