These posters were from an assignment to make a PSA about something. At the time, I had some roommates that weren’t the cleanest. These posters illustrate some of the different ways roommates can have some cleanliness problems. I went into so much detail in these and a lot of it got lost when it was in its printed size. Someday I might blow these up just to see all those little details, like the banana peel or the caps on the pens.
In my senior portfolio class, we had an assignment to write out instructions to do something. Most people chose things like ‘how to make a paper airplane’ or ‘how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich’. I was uninspired by the usual topics and decided to do something a little more unique—a tongue-in-cheek guide on ‘how to be a hipster’. After everyone in class loved it, I decided to make it into an accordion fold pamphlet and get it printed.
My sister Katie is an amazing chef. I designed a logo for her and surprised her with some labels for her products. I designed it in a way that the label can be printed in any color to go with an event theme or just to give a variety to the products.
My senior year of college, I was asked by a professor to design a piece to display in the Dixie State University Student Art Gallery grand opening. I was honored to say the least. I’m super proud of how this poster turned out. I was inspired by the quote by Walt Disney, “If you can dream it, you can do it.” I love this quote and decided to go with a design reflective of the movie Up. I layered different colored balloons to create a dynamic effect.
