Bilingual Type Design Project

For this project, my task was to take a word from a foreign language that doesn't have a direct translation in English and design a booklet for it. Out of the words I could choose, I decided to use the Japanese word "Komorebi". This word roughly translates to "sunlight leaking through trees", and is used to describe the beauty of light rays bleeding and seeping between the leaves of the canopy of a tree/forest. Having access to another language allowed for more creativity within the design, and since I'm also learning Japanese, I was able to apply some of the knowledge I have about the language to this project.

Initally worked on the cover page of the booklet and wanted it to reflect the meaning of "komorebi" by having the page bleed around the characters

Iterated my initial cover page into two spreads breaking down the meaning of the word

Refined my inital cover page idea, and made a page spread for each character in "komorebi", and added yellow accents to symbolize the sunlight

Community Branding Project

For this project, I was tasked with designing a brand that interacts within the local community. I designed an animal conservatory called Lily Pad Landing that specializes in the conservation and rehabilitation of animals that live in and around bodies of freshwater. I chose to design branding for an animal conservatory because I have a personal love of animals, and people tend to forget that the ecosystem is apart of the local community.

Initally I had the idea of using a frog or a macaw as a mascot

Once I started working digitally, I had an idea of the color palettes and fonts I wanted to use

Event Design Project

For this project, I was tasked with designing graphics for a preexisting or original event. I decided to design for a hypothetical Super Bowl in Chicago due to the fact that I love the Chicago Bears. During this project I had to curate an archive to reference when making my event's visual elements.
