Logo • Book Cover • Design History • Magazine
LOGO beginning For our first project, we had to design a logo for the Nebraska Statewide Independent Living Council, with the aim to incorporate images representing their mission of promoting independence, inclusion, non-discrimination, and dignity for people with disabilities living in Nebraska.

LOGO conclusion Through this project, I had my first experience with thinking creatively to turn 'ideals' into 'images', as well as my first experience with working with Illustrator. Even though my logo was not very strong, I learned a lot of technical skills which will carry on in my future design pursuits.
Book Cover beginning Reading through the introduction of Kirk Dombrowski's Culture Politics and looking at source photographs, the aim of this project was to make a catchy book jacket that could capture attention and lure in potential readers - and buyers - into picking up the book off a shelf.

Book Cover conclusion Even though I was more familiar with photoshop, this project was still an excellent opportunity for me to further my abilities in it. I feel with this project, it's obvious I started to enjoy it and dove fully into fleshing it out as an entire concept.
History beginning A good designer is an educated designer - and learning the history of design is a part of that education. Given the subject of early 20th century Swiss poster design, and more specifically Herbert Matter, I had to create an informative presentation for the class as well as a visually-engaging infographic.

History Conclusion While my presentation went better than I thought, I knew my infographic was lacking - a poor imitation rather than a knowledgeable homage. I would blame my lack of success due to trying to grasp InDesign as a program.
magazine beginning To expand further on our skills in InDesign, we were challenged to either create a new magazine of our own or redesign a previously existing publication, keeping in mind intended audiences and messages. Excited by the creative freedom and challenge, I had a large number of ideas I wanted to try.

magazine conclusion I had a blast with creating Starlet magazine, and was immensely frustrated simultaneously. I got over my learning curve with InDesign and learned to embrace the grids and columns! I think this project was a perfect cap for a beginning graphic design class, and I learned a lot about maintaining my vision while still communicating clearly with people who may not be aware of were I am coming from with my ideas.
