Third Grade Surrealist Self-Portrait:
These self-portraits are based on dream imagery, symbolism, and devices used by the Surrealist Art Movement to uncover our unconscious thoughts and goals. Surrealist artists played games to gather ideas for their artwork, often achieving very strange combinations of images! What elements in these paintings do you think came from dreams?
Ask yourself: A “random juxtaposition”is a combination of two random objects that oppose one another to stimulate creativity. Can you find random juxtapositions in these paintings?
Strong meme-fu needed to decode this answer, but I'm pretty sure it's, "Not enough given information."
Part of a series of experiments where I printed everything on a 5 Filter on a Saunders brand enlarger just to see what would happen in preperation for my final.
The display was designed by their 3D Visual Mdse instructor (moi), but it was the students responsibility to implement the display from the plan-o-gram and directives given to them. They were also given the clothing, but asked to style the mannequins the way that felt appropriate. They were somewhat thrown by the florescent pink wig.
This is the second spread of a six page brochure I designed about Michael Bierut. The assignment was to design in the style of the designer as well.

For my final project in my senior year of college, I chose to document evidence of the weakening American economy. "123 Vacant Houses" is a series of photographs that features each vacant house in the rural town of Danville, Illinois. The loss of major industry and the switch to a service-based economy has left many residents of Danville struggling to provide for their families. Low-wage service jobs are not enough to keep the average four person household afloat. As a result, many residents have lost their homes due to forclosure. Others have left Danville and their homes in search for better paying employment. With no one to purchase these houses, they are simply left unoccupied. As a result, vacant houses litter the streets of Danville, leaving no area of town untouched. Each neighborhood is ridden with abandoned homes, neglected and decaying with each passing day.
This project took three months to complete and I could not have done it without the help of my sister/driver who helped in the search for each vacant house. Every day was an adventure.

This is the work of the Graphic Design 2 students at Taiyuan Normal University in Taiyuan City, Shanxi, China. Their work is impressive. They are excellent at package design, have an a mazing sense of color and clearly understand the language of visual metaphors. We are happy to be collaborating with them this semester.
