WPA Poster

To navigate through Adobe Illustrator, I produced a WPA poster based off of a picture of a sea turtle. My volunteer work at the Topsail Sea Turtle Hospital inspired my subject selection.

Object of Persuasion

Though a graphic design exploration, my studio was instructed to create an advertisement for a previous design. The table pictured in the above image was my design for A Place to Dine, in which I chose to play with level changes and the concept of spacial hierarchy in dining. I chose to keep my advertisement clean and simple to emphasize the unique relationships of the shapes in my design.

From a vintage photo of a woman in the city, I used Adobe Illustrator to essentially animate the photo. I was fascinated by the textures in the original photo, and therefore tried to incorporate them into the edited copy.

Scene of Discourse

Using two assigned words as inspiration, our 2D rendering class was instructed to create a composition that was representative of both words. My compositions are representative of Frustrated Patina.

Pattern Perception

As a first attempt at Photoshop, our 2D rendering class was assigned the challenge of finding a cityscape and breaking it down to create an abstract pattern. I broke an image of Berlin at night into lines and angles, mirrored them, and then fused small images to create a circuit board-like pattern.

Computer Aided Architecture:

IAR 212 Reflection

The 1970s brought about the introduction of software into the world of architecture. Rooted in age-old drafting and rendering instruments, software acted as a tool to greatly expand the resources and abilities of architects. Early architectural software originated in universities and diffused into architectural firms and further into general use. This progression accompanied the advancement of computer processors and resolution, as well as the increased availability of ink jet printers. CAD software enabled architects to not only draft digitally, but allowed them to visualize and communicate ideas technologically. Computer programs improved communication and gained the role of assistants, taking on human tasks to speed up the design process. As designers we must recognize the limitless possibilities offered by architectural software, but must also heed the fact that computers are merely tools and must fully understand their abilities before relying upon their aid.
