This was our first vector assignment in Illustrator in my Graphic Design I class. During this exercise, we were practicing gaining control over the pen tool. it was a challenge to learn how to make specific shapes without adding too many anchor points. I initially had a new anchor point every quarter inch, but I eventually figured out how to manipulate the handles of an anchor point so that I didn’t have to use so many. It was definitely an important learning experience.

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.
Redesigned After Grading – Poster Redo copy
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.
