Self Mailer

Class: Typography IV
The idea of this project was to create a self mailer for a local business to advertise what they were planning to do, such as events, sponsors, newsletters, etc. We could only use two colors and their respective shades and highlights. I chose the Great Lakes Science Center, as it’s a great place to learn about science as a whole.

Magazine Project

Class: Typography IV
The idea of this project was to create a magazine spread to learn how a magazine is designed and printed. My magazine subject is on the topic of freerunning, which is similar to parkour, but instead of focusing on the speed of it, it focuses on the art of parkour.

Artist Quotes

Typography III
This project demonstrates the use of type pairings and how to use them effectively.

Koichi Sato Quote
Class: Typography III

“It may be said that it is a “marriage of reality and art” that a passer-by can glimpse at an image printed on a piece of paper” – Koichi Sato

Herb Lubalin Quote
Class: Typography III

“The better people communicate, the greater will be the need for better typography-expressive typography.” – Herb Lubalin

Josef Müller-Brockmann Quote
Class: Typography III

“The grid system is an aid, not a guarantee. It permits a number of possible uses and each designer can look for a solution appropriate to his personal style. But one must learn how to use the grid; it is an art that requires practice.” – Josef Müller-Brockmann

Keith Haring Quote
Class: Typography III

“Art should be something that liberates your soul, provokes the imagination and encourages people to go further.” – Keith Haring

Wes Wilson Quote
Class: Typography III

“We’re not going to have too much of a strategy. One side of our back field will be made for really little ones, and the other sides will be open to first- to fifth-graders.” – Wes Wilson

Campaign For Good

Class: Typography III
The idea of this project was to create an ad for an organization for them to use to help their cause. The organization I chose was WildAID, and my message was to help spread awareness of the mass killing of sharks, via illegal finning, or by bycatch in fishing nets.
