COMPOSITION IN BLACK & WHITE
Abstraction of a physical object with emphasis on the creation of visual depth.
DESIGN CONCEPT
I used a small banana-themed trophy and focused on emphasis of the small visual divides physically present on the object in addition to the repetition of other visual elements.
BRISTOL BOARD. GREYSCALE ALCOHOL MARKERS. BLACK MICRON PENS
SOUNDSCAPE
Conceptual three-dimensional materialization of non-lyrical music.
DESIGN CONCEPT
I chose a Shostakovich string quartet and aimed for a cantilevered focal point accompanied with angular wooden components in a black proscenium to emphasize the dramatic and suspenseful nature of the piece.
​
CERAMIC. BALSA WOOD. MUSEUM BOARD. TRACING PAPER. LED LIGHTS.
GRAPHIC DESIGN
Reimagine an existing book cover relating to design.

I chose a book about the furniture brand Herman Miller and focused on the everyday practicality of their products. I took inspiration from vintage advertisements and previous iterations of their logo in both the shade of red used and extensive repetition throughout.​
