All Projects

Ugly Crows

LCreated for Scott Zukowski’s Image Making class, this project involved creating a set of 12 images of a single animal inspired by a particular style or technique. I referenced Robert Crumb, Ralph Steadman, and Chloe Cushman to create a collection of Ugly Crows.

Symbols Zine

The Symbols Project encompassed the creation of over 100 symbols with the purpose of developing conceptual understanding and technical abilities to make meaning with images. I chose a giant squid and my symbols were based on the words: Giant, Fast, Amorphous, Camouflage and Aquatic. This zine explains the methodologies I created to develop my final symbols.

Type Publication

For my Publication Project for Type II, I researched typography used in built environments. I split up my magazine into three sections: type for exhibitions and installations, signage and identity, and architecture.

Ugly Crows

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

About

Welcome back to the halls of the CalArts Graphic Design Program, newly digitized and soaked in #0000ff blue. After over a year of physical distance, we wanted to build this website as an attempt to recapture a fragment of the magic that lives in these halls you know (or don’t)… Instead of presenting the End of Year Show as a direct gallery, our dedicated team of digital craftspeople have meticulously redrawn some of the most meaningful areas of the design department and pinned the work of our peers across the halls, studios, and production spaces we remember so dearly. We’re so excited for you to explore this space, and hope to see you all very soon.

With Love, The EOYS 2021 Team
