Information Design

Blues music is an important part of American history. With this in mind, I set out to make a graphic design piece that discussed the important influences within blues music and how individual artists influenced styles over time.

The Katrina Poster Project was a website where many well known designers and agencies had submitted posters to be sold for charity following the destruction of Hurricane Katrina. My class of third year designers at the University of Cincinnati were given the opportunity to compete to have our poster sold on the website. My poster was selected to be sold.

With content provided by our professor we were tasked to create a promotional video for this fictitious film festival. We had a few weeks to put it together and the final work was shown in our end of quarter show.

As third year design students we were asked to go on a walk and express what we saw using typography. I saw trash cans and cats fighting amongst many other things. I chose a muted color palette to communicate the crisp, cool Sunday morning weather and captured some of my thoughts in poetry.
