Speed Skating
Album Cover Design, Social Media, Art Direction
Speed Skating (a fictional band) is a reference to how fast each day goes by. You blink and it’s been 3 years. Regardless of your attempts to slow everything down, you are still speeding through life.
Butterflies in your Stomach is an indie/alt electronic album that references childhood memories or any memory that you are fond of. The memories that subconsciously put a smile on your face. The name references the giddiness, nervousness, and/or excitement you may have felt when experiencing them.
03. Typography Exploration
Linea Automata
Typography, Poster Design
I wanted to explore a process that I have never used before, cross-stitching. I arranged the poster in a way to mimic each letter hanging by a thread, much like it did in reality with the stitching. I was reminded of puppets after seeing each hang individually and that is where the name Linea Automata came from.
I’ve never really cross-stitched before so I decided to use this method for the creation part of my type experiment! The process was INCREDIBLY time-consuming but I enjoyed every bit of it.
DIN 1451 Typographic Documentary
Typography, Poster Design
An imaginary documentary based on the history and uses of the typeface, DIN. Din stands for Deutsches Institut fur Normung (German Institute for Standardization). Considering the uses of the typeface given on the poster, I wanted to make the colors stand out considerably as any traffic signage, etc. should.
The bold yellow and red lines in the poster represent the flow of roads and railways. While the yellow is slightly opaque and weaves through the letters, the red is made with the alphabet and numbers for balance and variety while also mimicking railroads.
