EaseOut
Digital/Print Magazine Concept
Student—Cornish College of the Arts.
Timeline: 10 Weeks
EaseOut is a digital and print magazine concept that was designed as an assignment for my studio class at Cornish College of the Arts during my second semester of junior year. The original assignment was to design a minimum of sixteen pages (both layouts and content) for an original magazine of our creation. My publication, EaseOut, aims to celebrate and guide recently “out” and experienced gays as they learn more about gay culture and how to better accept their authentic selves.

Oceania
Print/Animated Posters
Student—Cornish College of the Arts.
Timeline: 5 Weeks
For Robynne Raye's module I's studio elective, we were asked to produce a travel series of 3 -5 printed posters, and then animate one or more of them into a “moving” GIF posters. For my travel posters, the area that was given to me was Oceania. I then proceeded to design three print and animated posters for the countries Australia, New Guinea and New Zealand after researching all the countries within Oceania. Each print poster contains three interesting facts that are paired with a simplistic line illustrations for each of the three countries. The animated posters are meant to be reminiscent of a spyglass as it rotates through the three illustrations per country.

Our Land 2017
Community Event
Student—Cornish College of the Arts.
Timeline: 5 Weeks
For module I's Design for Activism studio course, we were asked to develop branding for a non-profit. I decided to rebrand my Our Land Community Clean-up for summer 2017. I spent a lot of time redesigning Our Land's logo so that it was less visually ambiguous and easier to scale, all while maintaining all of the symbolism and gravitas of the original logo. I believe I was able to achieve that with the newest rendition.

AmazonMe
UI/UX Case Study
Student—Cornish College of the Arts.
Timeline: 5 Weeks
For module II's studio course we were asked to create a new social shopping experience where younger generation customers can discover, share and buy products from Amazon. In a partnership between Dillon Edwards and myself we created AmazonMe. The essential aspect of AmazonMe is eliminating the traditional method of searching through the search bar by introducing Alexa Chat and Alexa Voice—a user’s personal shopping assistant. Through Alexa, the user is able to navigate the entire application and perform actions such as searching for items, bringing up forms, sending items to family and friends through the use of a customer to customer messaging system, either by category and beyond. Alexa is able to remember purchases and searches to help form a more personal, curated shopping experience. AmazonMe also introduces a new visual design for the user interface that utilizes card design, a new color palette based off of Amazon Echo, and a simplified “smile” logo derived from Amazon’s main logomark.

Distinct
Digital/Print Magazine Concept
Student—Cornish College of the Arts.
Timeline: 5 Weeks
For module II in Robynne Raye's studio elective course, we were asked to create a print advertisement for an established brand from a list she provided. The goal for the projects was to practice writing headline copy using two common techniques. We were then asked to pick from a list of deliverables to complete, including animated billboards, interactive tablet ads, and Instagram GIFs. The brand I chose was Adidas and after researching the company I discovered they had a lack of advertising for their alternative female clothing. These distinct items were what I chose to build my campaign around.
