Creative Cause Poster

Typographic

The “Creative Cause” project asks you to “design your passion.” Thus this poster evokes a dreamlike state with imagery fading into the imaginary distance, while self-written text makes a statement. The imagery is designed to look like a process misprint with misaligned graphical layers, but the colors showing in the fringes are those of the transgender pride flag.

Tools used: InDesign

Self-Portrait

Illustration

This self-portrait started as an exercise in choosing values to create the illusion of depth, and moved on from there to changing all the colors to grays while maintaining the effect. Finally, it came to resolving the image’s depth in a series of patterns created earlier, to maintain that same feeling of volume that the earlier images had.

Anti-Design Poster

Experimental

This poster is an anti-design reaction to “RiP: A Remix Manifesto.” Anti-design calls on us to bend and break the rules of design enough to create something that draws attention and curiosity to have a lasting impact, while the subject material involved calls for re-use of well-known art in a new setting.

Tools Used: Photoshop, camera
