Winthrop University UndergradUate scholarship Book of aBstracts - 2014

This design was chosen out of multiple others for Winthrop University’s annual Scholarship Book Cover. I created the cover for the purpose of showing how this book brings each college at Winthrop University together. This book is a collection of essays to show students, faculty, staff, and others the accomplishments achieved through vigorous research and studies that students at Winthrop University had done.

sailBack typeface

I based the look of this font from my trip in Seattle. My inspiration was derived from the Seafood Market signage composed of neon lighthing. You can see this by recognizing how I kept the weight towards the bottom of each letter and number I created. I ended up with a “sailing” or “pirate” feel, so I addes some ship-like elements in to the list of glyphs.

dotd fall and spring posters

I was tasked with the job of capturing the Dance and Theatre Department while also dislaying a list of dates and times for both the Fall and Spring shows at Winthrop University. I decided to go with a Neville Brody approach to the logo and the layout.

Treasure Flower

Daisy Passion Fruit Flower

graphic illUstrations - floWers

The vector flowers was a project I had decided to do as a test for myslef. I wanted to capture each flower’s vividness as well as what makes each one different. I used Adobe Illustrator to create each flower.

graphic illUstrations - characters

Similar to the flower project, I wanted to create some little characters as well. The big difference with these, however, is that I created them so that I could use them in Adobe Flash, seperating their bodies into individual layers for import. I was going for a South Park look while adding more features to make each character feel more unique.

WU events app design

This was a group project where I was given the task to design and mock-up an app. The idea of the app was created by the entire group, while I was depended on to make it practical and to give it form.

It is an app specifically for Winthrop University students where they would be able to see their cultural events and invite, remind, or just share an event through social media while adding it to their calendar for a peronal reminder.

carolina thread trail BrochUre

For this Carolina Thread Trail brochure project, I wanted to create a visually interesting design while making sure that the information was accurate and comprehensive for children as well as adults. I used the veins of a leaf to mimick the trails that make up the Carolina Thread Trail. All text and vectored images were created by me. The photo was taken from their website.

Come See the Yacht Show 2014September 24-27

Be it fashion, cars, watchmaking or design, cities the world over are often

recognized as being centres of excellence for an aspect of our society. And

today superyachts have their own capital in Monaco. Indeed, the Principality

has for decades fostered a deliberate policy of hospitality, services, leisure

activities and security, attracting owners of the world’s largest yachts.

Monaco Yacht Show is also known as (MYS) and is a trade show that is

held in Monaco’s Port Hercule. The boats can range from 60 feet to yachts

over 500 feet in length. Its Europes largest display of Superyachts, even

bigger than Antibes Yacht Show. The Monaco Yacht Show is held every year

in Port Hercule, surrounded by the magical mediterranean hills of Monaco’s

City. Hundreds of thousands flock to Monaco Yacht Show every year to see

the Superyachts that are for sale and available for charter.

monaco travel poster

With this travel poster I wanted to capture the beauty of Monaco while showing the richness and luxury at the same time. I ended up using a photo showcasing the super and mega yachts during the yacht show held there. This photo was taken from a website promoting the yacht show.

Many women in the rural part of Uganda spend

most of their day walking and waitng. Having to

decided how to make use of the little water they

have gathered and carried back to their homes

each day allows for only a few chores to be done.

Sometimes, the choice between clean clothes,

watering plants for food, drinking water, bathing,

and using the water to cook with leaves no time to

do anything else after carrying it home.

Life’s most basic need water. But to significantly

cut down disease rates in the developing world,

water is just the first step. Almost everywhere

charity: water builds a freshwater well, we also

require sanitation training. In some communities,

we build latrines; at the very least, we promote

simple hand-washing stations made with readily-

available materials. Clean water can greatly

alleviate the world’s disease burden, but only with

education and hygienic practice. So help us build

lives in Uganda and offer a life full of smiles.

Bring Smiles to Uganda

Clean hands.

Easier water access allows families to take the time to

bathe without worrying about running out of clean water.

Take it easy.

In most rural communities world-wide, women and young girls are responsible for walking to collect

water for their families.

Come build wells to offer easier, healthier lives.

Success Awaits.

Clean water allows her to go to school and get an education.

Uganda travel poster

While researching the country of Uganda, I had realized that it is a country that does not need more tourism, but rather more help efforts. So, in this poster I had put focus on calling the viewer to action in the form of volunteering for Charity Water rather than spending time there as a vacation. The photo used was from a Charity Water volunteer who was also a photographer.
