    2. Magazine Concept 


    This project was an open concept, our one rule to follow was to involve aliens in some way. I chose to design a Streetwear magazine volume to introduce both humans and aliens to this type of fashion and how to wear it. 

    The front cover design and two spreads, I created these using Photoshop for the images and Illustrator for the 3D effects, unique shapes and typography. I created the UFO logo in
    Procreate and moved to Illustrator for the
    3D effects.

      Currency Design


      For this currency design project the class was instructed to create 3 sets of banknotes to redesign from the country of our choosing. I chose Ethiopia for my country. Our objectives were to thoroughly research the history and culture of our chosen country and apply what we learned as elements to use in the design of the banknotes. Examples such as historical figures or landmarks, cultural foods, patterns, or experiences and national plants and animals of their environment. Using Photoshop we created unique textures and shapes to further elevate the design.

      Each of the banknotes presented have a distinct color pallet— each one representing colors of the Ethiopian flag. Red represents the sacrifice of their fathers, who's blood was spilled for their country. Yellow stands for religious freedom and peace. Green represents the richness and fertility of the land. I decided to place national animals and important plant or floral life on the front of each banknote. For the back, I placed important historical monuments or buildings. Both English and Amharic appear on current Ethiopian currency (Birr), so it is also presented here.

      1. Banknote One Front/Back
      2. Banknote Two Front/Back
      3. Banknote Three Front/Back

      5. Album Poster


      This is a simple passion project, an album announcement poster for the BTS member J-Hope or Jung Hoesok. I designed this poster with the idea of promoting his newest album On The Street. The design style emulates the bold type and colors the album presents, while anncouncing the date of release.

      Here Be Dragons


      A series of original hand drawn assets put together to convey the emotion of the musical composition it was set to. The dynamic piece needed fierce looking drawings to match the powerful sounds from the intruments.  Played and projected from Saint Louis Community Colleges Ampetheater in front of a couple hundered listeners. Composer and Conductor Gary Gacksatter asked STLCC’s Typography and Motion Media classes to join together to bring his piece to life.

      These designs are based off of old midieval map drawings. Specifically the creatures the cartographers would drawn on the edges of the maps before they had the knowledge of the entirety of the ocean. 
      I had a total of 5 Illustrations that were selected to begin the process of animating for the final video. In my motion media class I got to pick my own illustrations to put to motion.

      7. Board Art


      For about two years now I have gotten the opportunity to drawn promotional designs on Chick-Fil-A  Arnold MO locations community board in their dinning room. I previously worked there for 4 years as a certified trianer and then a shift leader, they allowed me to use my artistic abilities to help promote seasonal items and fun colorful designs for the business. I no longer work as a shift leader but they still allow me to come and redesign their board when needed.
