INTERACTIVE DESIGN WORK!

I have not yet completed Interactive Design and will not have that work until next spring.

Critical Mass

For this project I had to create a motion piece explaining some scientific topic using images that I scanned myself. I created various textures using different types of fabric I had on hand. I decided to make my video educational. I chose a topic that has always fascinated me, psychology. I focused in on the Freudian concept of the Id, the Ego, and the Superego. I then likened the mind to an iceberg and used that simile to explain the levels of consciousness.

Site Redesign (About.com/Aldus Manutius)

For my site design i drew inspiration from Aldus Manutius and his triangle rags he used for paragraphing. Although i don't think this would function for About.com's website i do find it interesting. Aldus Manutius' work is beautiful and i know i'll look to him for creative energy later one.

Visual Effects, Shapes and Gestalt (Depth/Perception)

The following designs showcase varying levels of depth. Some accomplish depth through through color contrast. Placement is a major factor in portraying a sense of depth in the following designs. The designs are laid out in a two-dimensional setting, but somehow many of them still portray forward-backward space and the concept of distance. I learned a lot about what makes a 3D object look 3D. My design was based on a tunnel.

For the Type Specimen Book I chose to present Gotham.  I find it to be one of the most beautifully created, multifunctional, and yet still entirely universal and simple typefaces I have yet to encounter.  That is precisely what I attempted to convey in creating the book along with an overall flow and continuity.

Locating Place Motion (West Campus)

This video was made for a project in my Graphic Design course. It focused on locating place. The place i chose was West Campus at the University of Texas at Austin. Even though motion work is tough for me i am happy with my end result. I feel as though i depicted the things i wanted to in West Campus. The color and diversity is what i focused on. I love all the imagery that you experience the whole time.

Symbol Design for a Cause

This symbol would be used to promote safety in areas that people bring their pets to. Many times animals attack without reason and owners may have a hard time controlling them. It important to keep your pet on a leash for this reason. Promoting this will keep people safe. I imagine this to be posted on green signs in parks and around neighborhoods and busy city streets.

Curra's Grill Site Redesign

My first priority in redesigning the Curra's Grill site was to get away from their original logo (1st photo) but use a different form of branding that they already had displayed with the outdoor sign (2nd photo). I recreated the look of the outdoor sign (3rd photo) and implemented it into a new layout for the website (below).

Below is a variation

Landing page for the menu (below)

AND for the grand finale, here is my perfectly coded website...

Process Book

Lookin Sharp Process Book

Not wanting to undercut (ha!) the typeface with too much decoration, I made a  simple book to show the construction of the final Lookin' Sharp composition.

Title: Weather Report

Course: Advanced Issues In Typography

Instructor: Tuan Phan

In this project, we explored the idea of type in motion. We created a weather report for four different cities. My project shows them in time (days of the week), and hierarchy. This was a challenge for me at first to wrap my head around the concept of using motion as a aid not necessarily the tool. This project did expand my thought about type.
