ALBUM COVER, ART 224 My interpretation of Allan Kingdom’s album titled Northern Lights. As an independent hip hop I used a collage style to make a very DIY style and feel fitting to the surrealist collage aesthetic that is re-emerging in today’s hip hop album artwork. Using gold color to fit his jewelry and style as well as his sing songy sound.

BOOK COVER, ART 224 As a lifelong fan of the mythical Percy Jackson Series, I of course wanted to re-imagine it. I wanted the covers to appeal to a more mature audience, one that has grown up with the series. While moving away from the cliche thematic illustration style that is common in this genre I applied a modern approach and vivid colors to the series.

PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIANS
I II The Sea of Monsters
III The Titan’s curse
IV The Battle of the Labyrinth
Now Percy and his friends have just ten days to find and return Zeus’s stolen property and bring peace to a warring Mount Olympus. But to succeed on his quest, Percy will have to do more than catch the true thief: he must come to terms with the father who abandoned him; solve the riddle of the Oracle, which warns him of betrayal by a friend; and unravel a treachery more powerful than the gods themselves. This first installment of Rick Riordan’s best-selling series is a non-stop thrill-ride and a classic of mythic proportions.

AND THE OLYMPIANS
THE SEA OF MONSTERS
The Lighning Thief
PERCY JACKSON’S seventh-grade year has been surprisingly quiet. Not a single monster has set foot on his New York prep-school campus. But when an innocent game of dodgeball among Percy and his classmates turns into a death match against an ugly gang of cannibal giants, things get . . . well, ugly. And the unexpected arrival of Percy’s friend Annabeth brings more bad news: the magical borders that protect Camp Half-Blood have been poisoned by a mysterious enemy, and unless a cure is found, the only safe haven for demigods will be destroyed.
PERCY JACKSON
AND THE OLYMPIANS
THE LIGHTNING THIEF
The Lighning Thief
PERCY JACKSON is about to be kicked out of boarding school…again. And that’s the least of his troubles. Lately, mythological monsters and the gods of Mount Olympus seem to be walking straight out of the pages of Percy’s Greek mythology textbook and into his life. And worse, he’s angered a few of them. Zeus’s master lightning bolt has been stolen, and Percy is the prime suspect.

TITLE SEQUENCE, ART 224 One of the key elements about design is that it exists everywhere including the media in which we consume via movies, TV shows, and the web. The theatrical intro seen on such films and shows like True Detective, 007, and pioneered by Saul bass the value of an artistic title sequence is now recognized and sought after today. After its name, Pulp Fiction, is a type of cheaply produced media that has developed a specific and rough aesthetic and texture that feels nothing but original. I wanted to call to that paper texture and comic book style illustration within the portrayal of each character and the recreated torn paper effect that houses them.

CHAPBOOK, ART 200 Inspired by some of the best and most poetic love songs that I love compiled into a clean and modern book. I wanted to really portray the element of love as seen with the color scheme and dynamic pictures showing the artist in their element. I wanted to experiment with the transparency to mimic the airy floating in-love feeling.

TYPE SPECIMEN, ART 254 Cooper black is a legend in the world of typefaces with its iconic rounded feel and bold letters, primarily used in the 70’s and 80’s as well as the adult and food industry. I wanted to capture this era of aesthetic in a cool and bold way by incorporating anaglyph 3D treatment to pay homage to the classic drive in movie experience.

TYPECON, ART 200 The 2017 Type Convention was home to some of the most creative and innovative designers and business people that exist today. Celebrating everything that is type and design, my task was to create a themes pamphlet that had both excellent form and function. The theme was one simple word: Resound which means to fill a place with sound and echo. Drawing from sounds wavelengths and bold black and yellow color scheme I created a pamphlet that was fun to hold and interact with while remaining functional and useful as well as bold and modern.
