Typography Book
I designed and hand-bound this book for my print design class. I created the layout using Adobe InDesign and used a perfect bound bookbinding method. The book features all original images that I photographed and then digitally traced in Illustrator to create a more visually appealing design. I also color-coded all of the text in the book to follow the same color pattern.

Self Branding:
For my Sophomore Portfolio class, we were tasked with redesigning our existing personal brand logo or creating a new one for ourselves as graphic designers. Along with with the brand identity we were asked to write and design a resumé and business card that incorporate the identity and logo we designed. I decided to use a playful font to make my logo, and edited it a bit with the pen tool. I also experimented with opacity and investigated screened back color versions of my logo. After I completed my brand, I crafted my business card and resumé which both visually represented my new brand.

La Dispute Website
I designed and coded this website about a band from Michigan called La Dispute for a Screen Design and Coding assignment. I used the band’s existing website as a source of information, and incorporated an original photo I took of the band on the “tour” page.

Animated Diorama
I created this 10-second animation for my motion graphics class. We were asked to portray a memory using all original artwork, and the first thing I thought of was dreams and nightmares. I started out by using micron pens to draw the illustration I wanted to use. Then I used Photoshop to add color and duplicate parts of the drawing to achieve a hectic “dreamscape� look.

SKEF Website Mock-Up
This website mock-up was designed and created in Photoshop. For this project, we were asked to re-design the existing website for the South Kingston Education Foundation using stock photos. I decided to design a one page scrolling website, and incorporated the company’s logo into an interactive pyramid of buttons.Â

CASLON TAIL
1722
Caslon is a group of serif typefaces designed by William Caslon I in 1722. Caslon shares the irregularity characteristic of Dutch Baroque types. It is characterized by short ascenders and descenders, bracketed serifs, moderately high contrast, robust texture, and moderate modulation of stroke.
Typography Poster
For this project, I had to create a typography poster in Adobe Illustrator using the font I had been assigned. I decided to create two separate posters rather than just one. I used one accent color in each design, and experimented a great deal with opacity as well as with the alignment of the type. We also were asked to identify the anatomy of the typeface, which I highlighted with the accent colors to include an additional graphic element and a “pop� of color.

Lucky Cat
For this project, I had to design a concept for a non-profit organization. I was inspired by my visits to New Orleans, Louisiana and Athens, Greece, where there is a plethora of stray and abandoned cats. Being a cat lover, I decided to focus my non-profit campaign on helping cats, so I created a fictitious organization called “Lucky Cat” dedicated to rescuing and adopting cats. My campaign included a hand-drawn logo, a series of 3 print advertisements, a poster, and a set of apparel.
