Design Culture Now Poster

1st Design

I designed this poster for my Typography I class in the fall of 2012. We were tasked with creating a poster for the Design Culture Now event where different designers gave lectures about their own work and process. I struggled with the use of the grid system in this project. I also struggled with color theory and creating a poster that didn’t compete with the text. Due to these struggles, I ended up redoing the poster after I turned it in.

Prototype Typeface – MOJO

I completed this project for my Typography I class in the Fall of 2012. We were asked to create a typeface using only squares. The squares were supposed to reminiscent of pixels. We were initially required to create six letters, but I went ahead and made several more in my free time.

This project was my first experience with creating my own type. It was challenging because we were only allowed to use squares to create the letters, which limited what we could do. I tried to create a font that had a congruent feel throughout all of the letters. I feel that it was successful, but now that I look back on it I could’ve developed the serifs more efficiently and used more of them.
