Course Experiece
So far, Senior Studio has pushed me conceptually to think of new ideas and solutions to further my design experience. A big thing that is new to my process is further ideation, as well as group thinking.
Something Cool
Throughout the semester, we created somethig cool to share with the class during show and tell time. This particular piece on the left is a drawing of a butterfly. I wanted to work on my illustrative skills, so I created this piece with in procreate for fun. On the right, there is a drawing titled "Be The Change." this was inspired by a reading we did in class, called Speculative Everything by Dunne and Raby
Zine
The zine was a branding project which helped me find a common theme with in all of my graphic design work. This theme is the idea of growth, and I used handwritten text and organic elements in order to get this theme across.
Eco/Sustainability Branding
Within this project, I focused on the idea of pollution in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, and brainstormed ways to get plastic out of this location in the ocean. I prototyped a sustainable shampoo with no harmful chemicals or plastic packaging so that the plastic will not end up in the GPGP.
Speculative Design
Within this project, I focused on the idea of corruption, specifically in education systems. I created a board game to give players the chance to experiece this corruption, make their own decisions, and learn from their actions.
