Bleu

Motion graphics assignment create the titles for a movie by a randomly selected director. I chose Kieslowski, whom I had never heard of, and then chose the movie Bleu. Click to play.

Bowdler

Typeface created using pixels. The story of it being called Bowdler was that because the typeface was so simple, I likened it to what Thomas Bowdler did when he simplified Shakespeare to exclude all things "scary or questionable" until basically it was complete nonsense that no longer served its purpose. That is why I also edited that horrible pangram from "Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs" to "Pack my lunch with five dozen juice boxes." So what if it doesn't use all the letters of the alphabet anymore... at least it's suitable for children...

Cereality

Three quick bumpers for a self-created television station. I love cereal, so I created cereality. Cereality is a station that just shows people eating cereal all day and all night. Click to play.

Connecticut Writing Project

Logo and typographic treatment created for the Connecticut Writing Program. They needed something modern, recognizable, updated and not cliche. I think we got there with this treatment. The serifs reference quotation marks/commas, but without shoving it in your face.

Early College Experience

UConn ECE website. Created through UConn Web Development Lab. I guess they changed the header rules too, so it currently has a big ugly header on it! Eeek but it's not shown here. Click on the image to see the live site. Opens in a new window.

Expressions

As an exploration for part of my senior project, I decided to try to imitate all the smiley faces that came with ichat. Then, when I had all the pictures I decided it would be funny to watch them together, and while I was watching it I was listening to iTunes on shuffle and on came Garbage's "When I Grow Up." What a happy coincidence. Click to play.

Poetic Journeys

Poetic Journeys Poem, written by Joe Welch, designed by Yours Truly (and Brian did some stuff too).

Poetic Journeys postcard to advertise the opening event.

Portfolio Review

Communication Design Portfolio Review came and went. The big poster got some action and the small posters mostly fell down.

We made this big poster that hung ceiling to floor and people highlighted their names if they wanted to review, didn't want to, or already had a concentration.

Also, a website gave information about the review, had the downloadable application (which I also designed) and an active online sign up sheet. Click to view the site how it was left at the end of the review. Opens in a new window.

Scholarship Show

Advertisement for the scholarship show that acted as a moving wallpaper on all the iMacs in the art building. I don't have a video of it in motion, but just know that it looked pretty sweet on all those computers at once.

Swiss Poster

Motion graphics assignment to animate a swiss poster of our choice. Click to play.

Time

Poster for a self-created symposium about TIME, questioning whether or not the future and past exist and analyzing the fine line that we call the present. This poster won me $2500 in scholarships (thank god).
