Design Camp 2010

Evidence of my counseling skills:

1. Being able to combine two average animals into one awesome animal that it should have been in the first place.


2. Finding awesome stuff in the trash and immediately realizing it's not trash.


3. Organizing the crap out of studio materials. One of my favorite past times.

Photography Studio Final Exhibition

These are the five photographs I displayed for the final exhibition in my Digital Photography Studio while abroad in the Czech Republic. My theme was what I like to call "Creep-tastic". It represented the fact that spending 3 months in a different country really enabled me to get beyond the typical touristy visions of a different culture. I came to see the details, and because of the fascinatingly long history in European countries (compared to our short known history) I became enthralled with the creepy aspects that come with years of history and preservation. I was able to get beyond the Astrology Clock, the Charles Bridge, and the Prague Castle. Yeah, of course I saw those things, and they were awesome. But I found myself really fascinated when I got to see the special little details drenched in history that you could never have the time to notice if you only had a week. So, that was my thought behind this series.

it's december now: typography

Typography:
project 2: magazine design
My magazine, Catalyst, is about encouraging scientists and designers to work together, and how science and design are similar. I found articles dealing with my topic, and designed a feature spread (Design and the Elastic Mind) and then a secondary spread (The Bacteria Whisperer). I also designed a table of contents, letter from the editor, folio, running head, cover, spine, and subscription form. I also designed a masthead for the cover of the magazine. I hand drew the letters for the masthead, which are based on drawings of simple cells. The hand drawn type is repeated in the table of contents and in the drop caps of each article.











We stacked some of our magazine together and put them on the magazine shelf in the design library under "crit". ha.
