"Chic" Magazine Cover

"Chic" Magazine Cover

Project Description:
This project was to create an magazine cover for a fake company called “Chic.”  The project was to use primarily typography and understand layout  and placement design.

I decided that I wanted to do a digital painting of a futuristic robot/cyborg.  Because this is a magazine cover, I added a cloudy atmosphere background so I can add text, designs, etc.  After I imported my image to Illustrator, I then added the text.

Mazda Annual report

Mazda Annual report

Project Description:This project was to create an annual report for a company.  But there was a spin.  We had to work with a partner.  The purpose was to give the students a dose of the real-world working relationship.  With this partner, one must become the Art Director and the other a  production designer (vice-versa).  So it was a total of 2 different company. First as an Art Director, we must choose a company and make sketches of the layout and design the logo for it.  It is then given to my partner who will be the production designer to design it.

Quote Poster Design

Quote Poster Design

Project Description:
This project was to find a quote of our choice and use it in a way that will have two different meanings to it.  We would have to incorporate typography and imagery to visualize the intended purpose.  I chose the J. Robert Oppenheimer’s famous quote “I become of death, the destroyer of worlds.”

I wanted to make these two different images to send a powerful meaning yet a unique message to the viewers, so that by visually seeing it, they would understand it at a glance.  I used red color for “Death” because that is the key word of the quote, so using a red color will make the word as the main point.

James Blunt’s “Your Beautiful” Expressive Typography design

James Blunt’s “Your Beautiful” Expressive Typography design

Project Description:This project was to use the lyric from a song and express its meaning using typography.  We had to design a fold(s) with it as well. 

I knew that the song was emotional that expresses love, beauty, sadness, and a bit of humor.  I had to be careful choosing what type of font I would put into my piece.  I wanted to use serif that would work on words that would have more of a bold statement.  I used curvier fonts for the high and low notes.  And using San serif for the more of the humor, etc.
