At This Time

EDITORIAL / CLIENT WORK

A catalog for the Graduation Exhibition for BFA/MFA Art Practices Students at PSU. This catalog features each graduating artist, with the goal of both highlighting their individual work while forming a cohesive, professional, intriguing, and balanced design. We tied together timeless, polished typefaces with slightly off-kilter layouts, introducing atypical movement to each page to marry the concepts of curiosity and sophistication.

REBEL Brochure

EDITORIAL / SCHOOL

Why would you want a brochure thats only a brochure? This Design Musem Brochure focuses on one upcoming exhibit: REBEL, 30 Years of London Fashion, and becomes a poster when you’re done with it rather than going into the trash. With high fashion in mind, I wanted this brochure to feel exuberant and a little bit brash, while maintaining a polished and meticulous attention to type detail to assure that the content had appropriate legibility and hierarchy.

UNREAL Festival Catalog

EDITORIAL + POSTER DESIGN / SCHOOL

Nothing fits the speedy, shaky, anxiety laden style of the Safdie Brothers better than the gritty, grabbing force of tabloid headlines. Designed with tension and contrast in mind, this catalog mirrors the nature of the films it describes. This small but mighty book has a boldness that grabs the attention of passers-by and a variability holds their attention as they read through.

From Home

EDITORIAL / PERSONAL

A gift for my dearest friend when she moved away from home this past summer. A collection of letters from loved ones, designed to feel handmade and full of joy, with the gauze of nostalgia guiding the type, layout, and image manipulation. Four color risograph print.

Annex Zine

EDITORIAL / SCHOOL

The winter edition of PSU Graphic Design’s A+D Projects Zine, This Issue Doesn’t Matter is about everything and nothing. Designed to feel irreverent, messy, and a bit silly in an effort to make the meaningless meaningful and vice versa.

BRAND ID + EXPERIENCE / PERSONAL

Table design for PSU’s Graphic Design Annual Showcase, Be Honest. A non-alcoholic “bar” serving graphic design inspired beverages, complete with matchbooks, menus, branded cups, and snacks, poking loving fun at graphic design culture. Designed to feel joyful, inviting, and eyecatching.

La Haine Teaser Trailer

MOTION / SCHOOL

An exploration in After Effects, teaser trailer for the 1995 film La Haine. The final product uses kinetic type and sound to build suspense. The idea of a trailer is to create anticipation in this case, via obscuring and revealing portions of the film with graphic elements. The type and texture pays homage to the visual language of this high contrast, cinematic masterpiece, utilizing the visual language of the movie without being derivative.
