KC Hint was started in 1990, with about 20 employees in KC today, they primarily deal with story-building through innovation and interactive experiences
this is my first endeavor into after eects
i expressed this quote through timing, sound, and simplicity
this is a ‘save the date’ animation based off of a poster I illustrated for the Folly Theater.
this third video is a logo build, keeping simplicity in mind but never sacrificing expression
Here is a timeline that i created for the history of the microphone. the overall form is that of a sound wave which cradles the information
my love for type & image can be seen throughout my work
I also enjoy branding projects, this is a Kroger brand redesign that I made for their extract line, utilizing a bold central image to catch the eye from the shelf and clearly display what the product is
the last example of my work i’d like to show is a website i created for learning the ins and outs of applied communication theory can be seen here where i created a quiet and elegant platform to display the information
thank you
thank you so much for your time
