Animated Postcard

The animated postcard combined two postcards that I had previously created so that it could be interactive. I chose the picture of the gate because I wanted it to open to reveal the second card which was behind it. This was all done in Flash.

These postcards were made to represent the East Side of Austin. They were created after going out into the neighborhoods of East Austin and taking many pictures.

This project was about finding a material that we could make a typeface out of. I used packing peanut material and used the word impact displayed on a crashed car to get across my concept. After making my letters out of packing peanut material I went to a repair shop that had lots of crashed cars in their yard so that I could display my letters on the car that I chose.

Five Minutes a Week was an activity booklet that we designed where we were given the information and had to find a way to present the material so that a third grader could understand it. I tried to not have too much text on each page and to give plenty of writing space for the kids to write and draw in. Many kids don't like workbooks if there's too much that they have to read.Full Workbook

The Kitchen of Meaning was a project where we were given a word and then used that word to create a concept for our posters. I made an older chat window because I wanted to portray the internet vernacular. Using a chat window seemed like a good way to display it.

This was a type specimen book about Minion Pro to show what the font looks like and what you could do with it. I wanted to use a background that looked like old parchment and tried to make the book have the old style feel.

The cognitive map is about what goes through my head as I drive to school. I start by waking up, then walking my dog, eating breakfast, getting on the highway, listening to music, finding parking, getting coffee, then working at my desk.

The perceptual map represents the five senses as I travel to school in the morning.

The artifact map is a very simple map that looks pretty much like an ordinary map from my apartment to school.
