type specimen

Mrs. Eaves reminded me of a type face you might see in a fairy tale, so that notion influenced the color and design of my book. I made a point to use every facet of the Mrs. Eaves font family to ensure an accurate representation of the type face in this type specimen book.

The title of this prototype is "Four Square", after the square units seemingly stamped out of each letter.

illustrator excercise

This exercise was our first real lesson with the pen tool in illustrator. We had to learn to use the anchors and handles correctly to essentially trace over the image of the duck.

symbol methodology

My topic for this project was agriculture, which I broke down into growth/tending, organic farming, and genetic modification. Each subtopic was transformed into a symbol through a series of drawings, illustrations, and vectors.

Do you take baths or showers?

 

What annoys you most in others?

What is religion?

For this project in Image Methodology, we utilized our skills in Photoshop as well as various images we generated to answer a set of questions in a specific, historical design style or movement. This particular set was to be modeled in the vein of Russian Constuctivism. To do so, I used geometric shapes,  black and white images as well as a pale yellows and bright reds, a color palette found in nearly every Russian constructivist poster. The questions answered are listed above each work.

new poster

original

In typography class, our first project was to create a poster focusing on hierarchy while incorporating a contemporary modern design aesthetic. The poster I designed below illustrates the Do-It-Yourself scene prevalent in Austin through a geometric type I created in Illustrator and a charcoal brush stroke on the dates, lines, and designer's names.

I made changes to the original poster in attempt to make it a little bit more refined.
