Graphic Design
- Designed posters for improv comedy shows in Photoshop
- We would brainstorm a title as a group, and then the poster designer was given free reign
- We landed on "Johnny Buckets and the Search for More Buckets"
- I figured it sounded like a young Indiana Jones adventure, so I used stock images to craft a story of a precocious, bucket-themed adventurer
- The background are the steps at Skellig Michael in Ireland, most famous for their inclusion in The Force Awakens
- With the title prompt of "A Disney Channel Original Smoothie" I was inspired by the bumpers that played between shows in the 2000s
- Searched through various font libraries to find typography that would fit well with the kitschy early-aughts look
- Framed as if the smoothie is Disney Channel's newest young star, drawing the iconic Mickey ears with a magic wand
- Reorganized assets in Adobe Photoshop and Adobe InDesign for print publications
- Book covers for Parvus Press, LLC needed to be reorganized and reformatted for ARCs, or advanced reader copies
- Photoshop project for UCLA's Modes of Making: Experimental Film class
- We suggested a list of well-known characters, places, and objects to our professor who then tasked us with choosing one of each to create a Mad-Libs style photoshop image
- I chose Winnie the Pooh at Area 51 with a baby, and as we had just recently discussed David Lynch's Eraserhead in class, I included the movie's terrifying baby as a sight gag
- Utilizing new blending tools, I was able to give Pooh a presence in the space and have him react to the light accordingly. When the image was finished, I decided to include movie poster elements to contextualize the story.
