Challenge:

Design a poster series for a fictional museum exhibit of your choosing.

Design Solution:

For my Print Production class, we developed a poster series, advertising for a fictional museum exhibit. I chose to pursue a pop-art concept on the topic of ice cream, paying homage to the end of the summer season. When prompted about my favorite part of summer, ice cream is the first thing that comes to mind. I used this personal (but common) interest as inspiration for this project, and developed a concept of an ice cream exhibit at MoMA. For the aesthetic of this series, I portrayed it in the style of pop-art.

Self-Reflection:

This project was a excellent example of my typography and layout skills. I decided to challenge myself with this project, using a common theme of pop-art style throughout the posters; a theme in which I had never tried before. These posters helped me experience a new style outside of my typical aesthetic, and did it beautifully.

Challenge:

Create a motion graphics video to narrate choice audio utilizing kinetic typography techniques.

Design Solution:

For this project, I really wanted it to be centered around the type, and for the illustrations to therefore compliment it. Keeping up with the latest trend of flat vector design, I created cohesive illustrations to tell the story of the song. Regarding the color palette, who creates a project around the song ‘Avalanche’, and doesn’t use blue? It was just common sense. As for the other colors; the song is upbeat and happy, and I wanted the colors to communicate that as strongly as the song itself.

Self-Reflection:

This was literally my starter project for learning the basics of AfterEffects. It is also the project that sparked my love for motion graphics. After diving in headfirst into the program, Adobe makes it hard to want to come up for air. If I had to take anything away from this project aside from the amazing skills I learned, it would be to remember to take breaks, or next thing you know, the first light you see in hours outside of your screen will be the sunrise shining through your window.
