This was an assignment for a Typography course. The assignment was to design our own typeface, creating a system for the letter-forms and finding unique and creative solutions. Our final project was to create a ligature using 3-4 letter-forms, printed on mat paper and pasted on a hot press board.
This was a class assignment assigned to address the broad idea of reality. My zine addresses political participation and promotion around Michigan State University’s campus. Notably, it looks at the differences between the two departments that are home to my two majors - the Department of Art, Art History, and Design, and the James Madison College. As a whole it is an observation of the political propaganda and ads around campus at the time of the primary elections.
This project is currently in progress. It is based off of an assignment for the course Critical Geopolitics in Comparative Practices. The goal of the project is to address capitalism and how I and others interact personally with capital on a daily or weekly basis .
These are small posters made for Michigan State University’s AIGA group. These deconstructionist posters were put together by myself, based off of collaborative ideas with my co-leader, Rose Deneau.
This piece was created as a final project for a documentation trip to Chicago, taken on Michigan State University’s Department of Art, Art History, and Design’s annual Chicago Bus Trip. We were assigned the task of documenting our experience in a way unique to us. I decided to create a view-finder to look at one of my favorite cities through the view of “MSU.” For the final project I created a collage of Chicago in the way that I see it. The image of stars and space was a “mystery object” given to us by our professor, and one that I found very fitting. To me, astronomy represents the unknown, mysterious, and opportunity. Chicago being somewhere I see myself in the future, I believe that it embodies these terms.
Designed for a Color and Design course, this piece addresses the idea of thought as influenced by outside factors. It touches on the idea of what is going on in our minds versus the stimuli we find in our environment.
