THE WORK OF IZZIE KLINGELS IS WHAT INSPIRED MY PERSONAL TYPEFACE, TITLED SYSTEM. KLINGELS’ WORK IS DELICATE, CLEAN AND SOMEWHAT WHIMSICAL. I CREATED A SYSTEM OF FOUR GALLERY POSTERS WHICH CAN BE VIEWED TOGETHER AS A SYSTEM OR INDIVIDUALLY. EACH POSTER HAS A PIECE OF KLINGELS’ WORK ALONG WITH BODY TEXT THAT STAYS CONSISTENT THROUGHOUT. THE TITLE IS DISPLAYING MY PERSONAL TYPEFACE, WHICH IS IRONICALLY BREAKING THE SYSTEM.

2014
IN ADDITION TO THE GALLERY POSTERS, I CREATED A SMALL TAKE HOME ZINE CONTAINING INFORMATION ON THE EXHIBITION AND THE ARTIST HERSELF. I KEPT A CLEAN WHITE AESTHETIC, WITH MUSTARD YELLOW ACCENTS TO ALLOW THE WORK TO SPEAK FOR ITSELF. A CLEAR SHEET PRINTED WITH THE ARTIST’S WORK SERVES AS THE CENTER PAGE, WHICH ALLOWS THE VIEWER TO GRASP THE FINE DETAILS OF HER ILLUSTRATIONS.

| 4 POINT CAMPING | DIGITAL PRINT
2013
FOR THIS HYPOTHETICAL COMPANY DESIGN, I CHOSE TO CREATE A CAMPING AND HUNTING RESORT, 4 POINT CAMPING. I STRIVED FOR A VERY NATURAL AND RUSTIC LOOK AND FEEL. A POSTER WAS CONSTRUCTED, USING ELEMENTS THAT WOULD APPEAL TO THE HUNTER/CAMPER, SUCH AS ARROWS, COMPASS DIRECTIONS, AND COORDINATES AS AN ADDRESS. MUGS PRINTED WITH THE LOGO WERE MADE FOR THE EARLY RISER. ALL OF THE PHOTOGRAPHY USED IN THIS PROJECT WAS TAKEN AT ECHODALE REGIONAL PARK, SO TO PHOTOGRAPH THE FINISHED WORK, I RETURNED IT TO ITS NATURAL ENVIRONMENT, KEEPING ITS AUTHENTICITY.

| REMEMBERING HONEYBEES | DIGITAL PRINT AND PACKAGE DESIGN
2014
BEES AND THE PRODUCTION OF HONEY HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A CLOSE INTEREST FOR ME, MY PARENTS GREW UP IN TISDALE, SASKATCHEWAN, THE LAND OF RAPE AND HONEY, SO WHEN FACED WITH A CRITICAL DESIGN PROJECT, MY MIND IMMEDIATELY WENT TO THE DECLINE OF HONEYBEES. UPON GATHERING DATA AND STATISTICS ABOUT THE BEES, I WAS OVERWHELMED WITH THE AMOUNT OF INFORMATION ON THE TOPIC, SO I DECIDED TO CREATE AN INFOGRAPHIC POSTER. I CREATED SMALL GRAPHICS TO BREAK UP THE LARGE AMOUNT OF TEXT, AND USED A WARM, GOLDEN COLOUR PALETTE. THE POSTER IS COPY WRITTEN IN PAST TENSE, AS IF THE HONEYBEES WERE NOW EXTINCT. I DESIGNED A JAR OF HONEY USING TRADITIONAL MATERIALS SUCH AS TWINE AND BURLAP, INTERPRETED AS THE LAST JAR OF HONEY. THE PROJECT IS TITLED REMEMBERING HONEYBEES: THE BITTER END.

RED GRAIN BINS CATCH YOUR EYE ON A HAZY SASKATCHEWAN WINTER DAY. NEGATIVE SPACE AND BREAKING THE FORMAT ARE NOT ONLY THINGS I LIKE TO EXPERIMENT WITH IN PHOTOGRAPHY, BUT DESIGN AS WELL.

| EXPRESSION | PHOTOGRAPH 2013
THIS IMAGE DEMONSTRATES MY EXPLORATION INTO PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY. USING A NIKON D3200 AND A SINGLE STUDIO LIGHT, I WAS ABLE TO CAPTURE A GENUINE SMILE FROM MY MODEL.

WHILE WANDERING AROUND DOWNTOWN MEDICINE HAT, I WAS CAPTIVATED BY THE DIFFERENT CONTRASTS IN THIS IMAGE. THE COMPLIMENTARY COLOURS OF THE GREEN PLANT AGAINST THE RED BRICK, THE ROUGH AND SMOOTH TEXTURES,AS WELL AS THE COMPARISON OF THE CONSTRUCTED WALL TO THE ORGANIC FLOWER.

| MERGE | DIGITAL AND PRINT MEDIA
2015
A THEME, TITLE, AND LOGO TEMPLATE THAT I CREATED FOR THE 2015 VISUAL COMMUNICATIONS GRAD SHOW AT THE MEDICINE HAT COLLEGE. VISUAL COMMUNICATIONS IS NOT ONLY A GRAPHIC DESIGN FOCUSED PROGRAM, BUT IS ALSO PHOTOGRAPHY AND FINE ART BASED. THE WORD MERGE REPRESENTS THE COMING TOGETHER OF THE DIFFERENT MEDIUMS, BUT ALSO THE COLLABORATION OF THE UNIQUE PEOPLE IN THE PROGRAM. THE MERGE TEMPLATE WAS DESIGNED AND DISTRIBUTED AMONGST THE CLASS SO THAT EVERYONE COULD MAKE A VERSION OF THE LOGO EXCLUSIVE TO THEM. THE LOGO IS CURRENTLY BEING APPLIED TO MANY FORMS OF PRINT MEDIA, INCLUDING STICKERS, VINYL WINDOW TREATMENTS, POSTERS AND INVITATIONS, AS WELL AS THE WEBSITE. SOCIAL MEDIA HAS PLAYED A LARGE ROLE INCREASING AWARENESS OF THE SHOW, WHICH I HAVE CREATED AND BEEN OPERATING.
