DIGITAL FABRICATION Spring 16’
CONCEPT STATEMENT: The main objective of this assignment was to design a surface geometry in Rhino+Grasshopper as either a horizontal or vertical volume from a single continuous, double-curvature surface. Then with this surface as the defining geometry, I had to use Paneling tools in Rhino+Grasshopper to model an occupiable space defined by an integrated enclosure system (surface+structure), which is supported by a continuous 3D printed footing, set into a CNC milled site model made out of MDF.

GRAPHIC DESIGN Thesis Book Cover:
Crow:
My thesis book cover is showing the separation between cultures due to a demarcation line. This demarcation line caused many lost culutral memories in Beirut.
My intent behind this vignette was to create a logo / brand image with a crow being the focal point. The last one was for a funny pun.

ALEX VIEHMAN

LOGO
Springfield, MO Spring 16’
Concept Statement: This logo is to show what my company is through simple curvature with arecognizable twist that would grab the eye of any potential clients.
Style:
Shape:
My logo’s style is a simple diagramatic logo for my company which represents the companies name “Concept” meaning that it is always open to change.
The shape of my logo is a circle to go along with the curvature of a “C” which is represented on the left side of the circle. The surrounding circle puts the rest of the logo on focus as it draws your eye into the middle where the “A” is located. The “A’ is shaped the way it is to resemble a floor plan wall with a door opening, meaning that we are open to all ideas and clients.
