Title: The Shining
Medium: Printed Book
Size: 6" x 8.5"
Date: Fall 2011
Description: Experimental Typography. Designing an entire book has always been a goal of mine, but I never thought the first book would turn out like this. Inspired by the movie "The Shining", this grim, texture rich, emotional book uses typography as a vessel to transpire many emotions. It was entirely written and drawn on my 1950's Olympia SM4 typewriter.

Title: Errbody
Medium: Video, Digital Print
Size: Various
Date: Fall 2011
Description: Experimental Typography. In my goal to further myself as a graphic communicator and make myself more marketable, I wanted to learn a 3d rendering program. I found the software Cinema4d and taught myself the program for this assignment. For this we were to take a song and make a type motion video. With my song in hand and vision in mind, I had my buddy from Dirtywurx re-mix "Everybodys Talking at Me" by Harry Nilsson so that I could fully develop this music video. It is something that is still in progress but the knowledge built from this assignment is unmeasurable.

Medium: Digital Print
Size: 11" x 17", 17" x 11"
Date: Fall 2011
Description: Visual Communication. HCOP (Health Careers Opportunity Program) asked our class to develop a logo for their outreach program. I wanted my logo to describe what they are (a health industry program) as well show that they care (a heart). These two symbols married together speak my idea as one symbol. As a bonus I developed an inspiring poster that they could use to give more information about their program as well as spark interest within their student audience.

Title: Here I Come
Medium: Digital Print
Size: 17" x 24"
Date: Spring 2012
Description: Design History. This piece was actually part of the typophoto assignment listed above, but I felt it should have it's own listing, since it is very different than the others. Inspired by my use in Cinema4d and horror movies like, The Exorcist, Childs Play, and one I'm developing called Killer Babies; this piece expresses my love for playful typography while using photography skills like perspective, and leading lines.
