Something accidental. A glitch with inDesign but I'm into it.

It was supposed to say Stop trying to be everything to everyone. But that "y" got lost somewhere.

for relational design, Al and I collaborated on a project. I bound this book based on our project, Everything will be O.K. 

It's meant as a tool to comfort us and give us a safe feeling when maybe the world doesn't feel so good. 

Better photos to come.

In Making Meaning, we had to create posters dealing with a social or current issue of our choosing. Printed at 24" x 36".  Currently hangs in the gallery of the Design Center at RISD. Check some of the posters out!  Typefaces used: Silom and Meta.

This was the final version of my timeline, printed on Epson Ultra Premium Presentation Matte paper (5 star) on my wide-format inkjet. 

Accordion bound. I really dislike accordion binds... I think they look really amateur but I didn't mind it in the end for this purpose of a timeline.

History of gd is a class that is part lecture and part studio. Studio "sections" run from 8am to 10:15am, and the lecture starts at 10:30am... going to 1pm. In history of graphic design, our first assignment was called the landmark poster. For this assignment, each student was given the title of a major work that significantly influenced the world of design ("landmark"). I received the Proun Room (prounenraum) by El Lissitzky, 1923. 

Requirements: 

8.5" x 22"

Must include: name, instructor's name, RISD 2011

500-700 word essay

at least three book resources (cited on the poster)

New Project: Grimm's Fairy Tales

I'm working on a new project— I'm setting some of the Grimm's Fairy Tales in a hardcover book which breaks the boundaries of formal book layouts. First day in, thinking about a square book, or something towards a square book. 

It might be around 150 pages or so. 

Wish me luck!

The classic, "Hello World."

This is my first blog post on my new blog. Super stoked!
