Jterm Work (pt. 1)

*Here's to hoping I follow up with a second part. I think I'll put up two or three more works after this.

Layout & Design - "And You Are...?"

For our first project in the Jterm class we were given the open-ended task to create something that we could introduce ourselves with to someone we have not met before. I painted/crafted/assembled this guy. It's acrylic paints on newspaper & heavy paper (on cardboard). I folded the origami sailboat out of a somewhat lighter paper.

Layout & Design - "Georgie Porgie"

Our professor had us take this classic children's poem and try to give it a visual representation using only selected characters from a symbols typeface (like Wingdings or Webdings) . I chose to research the roots of the story (kind of creepy for a children's tale) and apply that meaning to a more modern sense. Essentially it is about exploitation. And yes, I know it's kind of creepy, but that is the point.

Layout & Design - Brochure

Okay, so it's a post card, but given the requirements and information that we had, this really fit what I was wanting to do. We were to make a brochure for Taylor's Director of Conferences & Special Events--advertising the fact that Taylor's campus is open for conferences and special events. I wish there were some way to reach into my computer monitor and hand you the physical postcard--my printing and cutting went so well that it really looked rather spiffy.

I am pretty sure my design wasn't the one used for summer advertising, but I am still very happy with how this turned out.
