CONCEPT ART ADVICE BOOK PUBLICATION DESIGN I have always had a passion for concept art and design in animation, so when I heard that I had to come up with my own topic for a book in my Publication Design class, I knew exactly what I wanted to do. While I like to practice my own illustration, I decided to have this book be for more educational purposes since I would be the only one using it. It’s full of useful information regarding advice needed for certain aspects of concept art along with quotes from famous illustrators, and some art pieces from some of the people that inspire me most.

DESIGNING A SHORT FILM ANIMATION DESIGN I’m a connoisseur of animation. It could be a short film, music video, TV show, or movie, if it’s animated-I’ll watch it. This inspired me to design my own short film for my Senior Design Thesis in 2019. I wanted to create a story that people could really connect with, so I decided to go in the direction of “what would someone do to see their loved one again?” This story takes place on a malfunctioning spaceship where a lone astronaut is so overcome with lonliness he starts to hallucinate, seeing his wife and son in the planets next to him. These hallucination convince him to step out of his spaceship to be with them and he ultimately makes the final decision to cut his attached tether to go farther.

INTERLOCKING EGG PACKAGING PACKAGING DESIGN For this project, I had to find the solution of making a 3x3 inch box that would only hold a single egg. It had to survive a 9ft drop from a ladder and also have some sort of built-in interlocking system so that consumers wouldn’t have difficulty carrying more than one. What you see here is my solution. The quartered circle parts on the sides of these handcrafted boxes slide into one another so the boxes can interlock infinitely on the top, bottom, left and right. The stamp/icons that I designed differ from box to box as they show some food ideas that the comsumer could make with just one egg.

ORTO STUDIO ADVERTISMENT GUERRILLA ADVERTISING This guerrilla advertising project challenged me to come up with an inexpensive ad for someone of a certain career, to which I had orthodontist. I decided to take the mundane tearaway flyer and have it become more creatively interactive. The flyer starts out with big crooked teeth as the tear-away pieces and as more of the pieces are torn away, the flyer starts to show a row of straight teeth. This communicates how easy it is to get straight teeth with Orto.

DAVID CARSON SURF MAGAZINE PUBLICATION DESIGN This David Carson inspired surfing magazine was a challenge in itself, due to how I was taking almost everything I have learned about publication design and throwing it out the window. This was my first time researching David Carson and how he designed for Ray Gun and i was immediately transfixed with his grunge era style. This project was enjoyable through it’s challenging ideas. I decided to go more in the direction where Carson would have chaotic elements and using them to block certain imagery. I made it my own by balancing chaos with order.

TRAVEL & LEISURE KYOTO, JAPAN PUBLICATION DESIGN This Travel & Leisure article about Kyoto, Japan will whisk you away to a place you never knew you needed. For this project, I was given a myriad of pictures that contextually ranged from food, fashion, and lifestyle of Kyoto, Japan. I went with the eye-catching image of two geishas walking in the bamboo forests with red and blue parasols. On the left hand side is the title, “To Kyoto,” with the o’s stylistically changed to represent the hand-painted style of Japanese inking. The colors are changed to red and blue to show stylistic symmetry with the parasols on the right page.

TOUR DE FRANCE TEAM MTV BRANDING Design a Tour de France team branding for a given company? I had to do MTV! I decided to carry on with how they are branding themselves right now, with solid or gradient colors, thick black text and hints of wild patterns once in awhile. I wanted to make the team easily recognized during the race and what better way than to take their astronaut mascot and incorporate him into the designs. Even the featured time trial helmet is supposed to make the riders look like astronauts.
