My Visual Resume

  My job was to create an informational story about my skills and accomplishments for any potential employers, mentors, scouts, followers, etc.  I began my process with taking some notes on what my general skills are and then my more technical ones.  I then experimented with the idea of drawing one scene encapsulating all my

Personal Statistic Poster

For my quantified self poster, I had to use my own method of observation to provide clear and efficient data that any person could use to figure out the percentages of time I spend on various activities throughout my day.  My mission was to show how much an average person can consume over any amount

Explanation Graphic

For this assignment, I chose to do an explanation graphic on “how to perform” since I love to sing and spent most of my life in chorus and I did acapella for a year in college.  When coming up with my idea, I thought I would show a person’s body wearing the clothes required of

Luggage Tag Thumbnails

                  For the Luggage Tag assignment, I was looking to take inspiration from many different areas of interest, from candy to movies.  I was considering the visual technique and the theme while simultaneously keeping in mind how and when to incorporate my initials.  At certain moments I

5 Photos

This photo represents “color” because it captures the contrast of green and red tomatoes, varying in color due to ripeness.  While it also captures “relative size” in a way because it shows the red tomato as almost too close to the lens and the other tomatoes smaller due to the distance, the main sensory principle

Mind Map

  For my Mind-Map, I first thought I should make something generalized to allow for more time to focus on the design, but then I realized I should take advantage of this assignment to solve an actual problem I am currently having.  This for me is finding an internship, so I knew I had my
