Array of Orange
P 02 The objective for this project was mainly to explore typographic form through medium experimentation. The multiple unexpected results become an energetic
Type Experiments
tool in constructing complex letter-forms.
2017
Typography / Digital Studio
In an experimental state of mind, all the forms were built to create interesting textures and odd shapes that typically aren’t observed in everyday life. Through experimental practice I was able to develop medium with type-forms and together it communicated a series of singular messages. Conceptual posters made are the final outcome by applying techniques explored that semester.
A reddish yellow, like a ripe orange in color.
Array of Orange
A RAY OF ORANGE A series of posters that represents an array of meanings for the color Orange. The compositions are nourished by Orange related objects. Pennies, Dry Leaves, Cheetos, Cheese, Extension Cord, Tang, Pylon Cones, Butterscotch Candy, Matches

Masters of Photography
2016
Typography / Digital Design
For many people, photography serves as inspiration for their own work. I decided to showcase American Artists who’ve had the greatest impact in Art and also in American culture in the last 100 years. My project goals were to display text and image in compelling ways. For the most impact, structure was created for contrast and balance. Colored text signified the “life” in their work. This book is for people who want to scale inspiration from photography.
