Personal Logo The personal logo was something that we created to show our personal branding. I created a lot of designs because I wasn’t sure what I liked. In the end I liked how my design came out. I wanted something that had thick and thin lines. So, I picked a nice font that went with what I wanted. I created an arrow to go on the end of my design to make it look like that’s the direction the line is going.

Personal Branding Personal branding was something we created for our personal logo. We put our logo inspiration and mockups of our design. Then we created a branding style guide. This had my logo and variations on it as well as my color palette and imagery. Then we created an identity mockup. This had my logo on different things such as a clipboard, mug, and some bags.
Kuhs Logo This logo was for a non-profit radio station. I wanted my design to be clean and sharp but it didn’t really turn out how I wanted. Our task was to create a design that describes KUHS. The station plays different types of music so it’s not just one type of music. It was a challenge to me to design something different than everyone else, and in the end a lot of other designers still designed things like my microphone.
Season’s Card The seasons card I designed was one of the first projects we did in graphic design. We were learning the basics of how to lighten and change the colors in Photoshop. There’s not much to this design other than finding a free to use image off of Google and adding the NPC logo and season’s greetings. This was a fun project to do and it helped me learn the tools in Photoshop.
Christmas Card The Christmas card was something we designed to print out and put a candy cane on. My card is very simple with a deer I pen tooled out and a background I found on Google. I wanted my candy cane to go behind the deer’s back to create a more 3D look.
Halloween Card The Halloween card was another card project but this time we sold candy bags with our cards stapled on. We sold them all around the NPTC campus to raise money for SkillsUSA. I designed the background to match the Halloween color scheme. The silhouettes I found on Google and I wanted to create a semi spooky theme. We had to find a font that worked with the overall Halloween theme and tie everything together.
Warhol This was a fun beginning of the year project. We had to choose a person to create an Andy Warhol piece. I liked messing around with all the different colors and making a cool color scheme. I liked laying out this piece and trying to fit it all together. The other piece was the pop art version where we made the person look like they are supposed to be a part of a comic.
Band Poster Last year, we had to design a band poster for one of our favorite bands. During this time, I was really into Mouse Rat, a band off of Parks and Rec. I wanted to design a poster that has a similar logo to the ones they use in the show but still different enough to use. I used the pin took to create almost everything and I found small rats to match the style on Google. I wanted the poster to have a basic feel to it so I just used basic shapes and colors without shading.
Low Poly This was one of my favorite projects we did last year. The goal was to create an animal out of triangles. I chose a fox and found the image I wanted to do on Google. I picked a fox because I thought it would be a fun shape to make out of triangles. Once I finished we had to find a background that looked good with the animal. I picked a forest background because that’s where a fox would be and I thought it would look good. Then the last step was creating a shadow. I loved working on this project and still enjoy how it came out in the end.
T-shirt Design The t-shirt design was something that we created for SkillsUSA. The goal was to create a t-shirt with something related to graphic design on it. I picked the pen tool from Photoshop. I wanted to create a clean and sharp design for my t-shirt. I created a background with it and put my design in it too. I also added a texture to the background.
Principles Of Design The principles of design project was a project that we did to learn all the different principles when it comes to design. We choose one thing to focus on while designing and I chose an ant because they are small and easy to work with. This was a project with twelve different principles. We had to design each project and I picked out four that I really liked because of the principle the we had to do or I just liked the design.
