2. This was the day that I asked John Cutsinger (left) to be my project facilitator. We discussed
ideas and certain design elements that I might use in creating my projects.
3. In this photo, I was working on some preliminary designs. My facilitator is seen in the
background.
4. This is a picture of me at the
Art Institute of Chicago where I
learned about the influence of
certain visual artists on the
development of graphic design.
5. This is the first project I
created. It is a poster for a
fictional coffee shop that caters
to young, busy patrons.
6. This is the first business card I designed. The biggest challenge was finding out how to make it
the correct size for printing in InDesign.
7. I created a poster for the fictional coffee shop. My focus was on clarity and product recognition.
8. This is the second poster I
created. Tea staining the
background took several tries.
9. This is the second business card I designed. The background is lighter to make the small type
easier to read.
10. This is a ticket to match the “Roots” project. Once again, the background is lighter to make for
enhanced clarity.
11. This is the third poster I
created and the one I
ultimately decided would look
the best printed.
12. The last business card I designed took significantly less time than the other two due to the fact
that the technology had become easier for me to use.
13. This is a picture of the cup I designed for a fictional fast food restaurant. It was very difficult to
create this template and it was definitely the most challenge project I worked on.
