Brief: design a leaflet to promote a college Art & Design department.
This is the final design. The idea is that the equipment in the college is waiting for the next batch of students. The grid layout and colours are inspired by Mondrian, in particular his piece Composition with red, yellow and blue. I couldn't find the right images that I wanted so I ended up having to take photos of the sewing machines, easels and potters wheels at college using my phone!
The image shows the front of the leaflet on the right and the back on the left.

Brief: Research 20 different art movements from the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries, and then use the information to create a timeline of art and graphic design over that time period aimed at young people. Final outcome to consist of 4 A5 or A4 pages rather than the whole timeline.
We had recently studied David Carson and the layouts he designed so I used his style as my inspiration. As the brief featured time and history, I decided to create the timeline with a Steampunk theme.
I focused on 3 art movements, one from each century, and the front cover. The final piece was printed on a sheet of A3 and folded into quarters but as the actual file has half the image upside down, I amended it to a strip so it was easier to see it all.
This was an alternate version to the Steampunk one that I designed first. I wanted to do something that was more brightly coloured which I thought would appeal to young people. The design also featured a transparent cover which can't be shown accurately here; the first section with the 'Time Line' title is the transparent cover which would overlay the name page in the second section.
Poster design I made for a design course in CMU. It abstractly charts my academic different interests from high school to grad school, and how I became interested in HCI.
Brief: design a leaflet to promote a college Art & Design department.
This is one of my preliminary sketches to work out the final design of the leaflet. I used names of artists, designers, architects, fashion designers, graphic designers, etc and tried to pick a suitable typeface for their name. The idea is that by taking an art & design course at the college, your name will become as recognised as these others are.
