graphic designer Creating compelling design solutions is more than just making something beautiful, it’s getting to the heart of the matter and creating something meaningful. What I love the most about design is the process of looking at a problem from all sides to gain fresh insight and inspiration. Finding these connections leads me to meaningful conclusions and results in sucessful design solutions. designer // jana heyer subject // MFA student work projects // eight

mfa 08/ thesis what is an MFa thesis project? We are presented with the challenge of finding a problem and designing a solution. It can be a design specific problem, social issue, a new product, or anything that will benefit from a design solution. This 1.5 year process starts out with research, statistics, interviews, and a lot of exploration to find the best way to solve the problem. We then create a effective and compelling solution using all of the tools graphic designers have at our disposal.

Posting Reports You decide how many posts you want to make about your child. The app will keep track of your social networks and let you know how you’re doing.

Content Alerts With the apps posting filters you can choose what content you don’t want to have a record of online, and the app will let know when something sensitive has been posted.

Building a Clear Picture The app collects all the photos and mentions of your child from your social networks and lets you see every thing that has been posted.

Multiple Contributors It’s often not just one parent who posts about a child. Friends and family can use one Poster Child account for your child. By linking several social network profiles, your family can build a responsible picture of your child together.

What are we saying about our kids? It’s easy to loose track of how much we post to social networks. The Poster Child app keeps all of your child’s data in one place so you can see their whole digital life in one place.
