Motion graphics assignment create the titles for a movie by a randomly selected director. I chose Kieslowski, whom I had never heard of, and then chose the movie Bleu. Click to play.
Typeface created using pixels. The story of it being called Bowdler was that because the typeface was so simple, I likened it to what Thomas Bowdler did when he simplified Shakespeare to exclude all things "scary or questionable" until basically it was complete nonsense that no longer served its purpose. That is why I also edited that horrible pangram from "Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs" to "Pack my lunch with five dozen juice boxes." So what if it doesn't use all the letters of the alphabet anymore... at least it's suitable for children...
Three quick bumpers for a self-created television station. I love cereal, so I created cereality. Cereality is a station that just shows people eating cereal all day and all night. Click to play.
Site for UConn Child Development Laboratory. Designed it and built it, it's going to be launched soon. Click to view site live. Opens in a new window.
Logo and typographic treatment created for the Connecticut Writing Program. They needed something modern, recognizable, updated and not cliche. I think we got there with this treatment. The serifs reference quotation marks/commas, but without shoving it in your face.
UConn ECE website. Created through UConn Web Development Lab. I guess they changed the header rules too, so it currently has a big ugly header on it! Eeek but it's not shown here. Click on the image to see the live site. Opens in a new window.
As an exploration for part of my senior project, I decided to try to imitate all the smiley faces that came with ichat. Then, when I had all the pictures I decided it would be funny to watch them together, and while I was watching it I was listening to iTunes on shuffle and on came Garbage's "When I Grow Up." What a happy coincidence. Click to play.

Poster for the free rides project. Based on the elevator (floors and sliding door included), which is the original free ride.
The first free ride movie we made. Turns out there are a lot of free rides around!
The Free Ride installation that Will and I built. We handed out tickets and everything, which I'll try to get some pictures of. Inside the box there's a spinny chair and 4 screens that interact with each other and encourage the "rider" to spin around in their free ride chair.
Motion graph of the number of times Guster played each song from the album "Ganging up on the Sun" live in 2007. It's accurate, if you can believe it. Pay attention to cloud size and volume. Click to play.
Exercise: Make synergetic relationships between what you see and what you hear. Click to play.

Book to display icons that were made for several different situations.
Post card invitation. Invites friends to Block Island and tells them how to get there via public transportation only.
Photography assignment, had to be something staged. I like my toys :) 35mm b+w 8x10 prints
Annual student literary and art journal. Students in the English dept choose the writing, we choose the art, we design the journal.
UConn MFA 09 brochure. Show titled "Apperceptions" so we decided to create a booklet that could be read multiple ways, where there's a surprise in opening it up completely.
It's about time we got some real change around here.
Poetic Journeys Poem, written by Joe Welch, designed by Yours Truly (and Brian did some stuff too).
Poetic Journeys postcard to advertise the opening event.
Communication Design Portfolio Review came and went. The big poster got some action and the small posters mostly fell down.
We made this big poster that hung ceiling to floor and people highlighted their names if they wanted to review, didn't want to, or already had a concentration.
Also, a website gave information about the review, had the downloadable application (which I also designed) and an active online sign up sheet. Click to view the site how it was left at the end of the review. Opens in a new window.
Advertisement for the scholarship show that acted as a moving wallpaper on all the iMacs in the art building. I don't have a video of it in motion, but just know that it looked pretty sweet on all those computers at once.
Motion graphics assignment to animate a swiss poster of our choice. Click to play.
Poster for a self-created symposium about TIME, questioning whether or not the future and past exist and analyzing the fine line that we call the present. This poster won me $2500 in scholarships (thank god).
