KU's Environmental Graphics course Taught me a lot about designing within physical spaces. The interaction between graphics and the audience in the real world is immensely important, graphics often serving as locational markers and tools of communication that guild people though a space. when done well, it is seamless with the function of the space itself.
The different projects has us thinking about the unique aspects of our design building and what kind of graphics could enliven/enhance the character of it, while maintaining function. One specific need is a way to make room Marvin 200 easily found from the many confusion entrances to either building; my solution's above!
Chalmers hall, its innovation, unique layout, and dedication to proving a space to learn design is something i thought should be emphasized, especially our building being shoved behind the Architecture school's Marvin Hall. A project allowing us to imagine graphics on the exterior of the building lead to me rethinking how we underutilize these spaces outside the hall.
getting into other cool projects, This is a RISO printed zine centered around my love for album covers. originally a top 10, I had to consolidate for the sake of the project, but my honorable mentions list is long!
looking back there's always things you'd want to change or make better, but my time designing for my fraternity was invaluable to me, learning to find the intersection between style and function. Trying to emulate low fidelity designs from decades ago while maintaining some quality was challenging!
This project for Kappa Week 2023 was cool for a number of reasons, but mostly because i got to design and print tickets! theres nothing i love more than seeing a design in the place it was intended for.
I had the Privilege of helping the Elizebeth Ballard Center with some design needs, including cleaning up some of their logo files, providing other assets and also designing a basic visual standards guide, along with some example deliverables.
