Class Calendar/WCTC Trip

It was really cool to do a class collaboration and make a calendar. After voting on what the concept would be, we finally ended up making movie posters as our monthly images. I wanted and got April and November. For April I knew immediately what the design would be, but it took me awhile to decide on what I would be for November. Eventually I figured it out and got this is what I came up with:

The trip to WCTC was very informational and interesting. I think their printing equipment is awesome and I definitely wish we had it as well.
The two machines that stood out to be was the die-cut and digital printer. Those would be the ones I used all the time if I could.

Milwaukee Perceptual Mapping Assignment

I was the only one in class to choose this option as my final project. I like discovering what is around me and point out the unknown/unseen. I will be exploring the area between Silver Spring and Hampton with the crossroad being Milwaukee River Parkway. From Silver Spring there's mostly residential area, with quiet neighborhood leading to the park with a river/lake and plenty of trees. Then it ends at Hampton Ave.  with a busy road and another side of the park. I'm going to be documents what I experience through my five senses, collect artifacts, and take photos of the area.
I still have initial work to do, but I think I'm off to a good start.

sketches for Graphic Design

These are some examples that Stone Creek Coffee used for its branding and some images that I loved online! I want to use some of these colors in my branding designs because I liked the approach they took and the artist style.





















These are my 20 sketches for my rebranding of a Stone Creek Coffee bag.

The Twitter Savanger Hunt and Storify

I think this assignment was interesting and kinda fun. I didn't mind going around the campus and take photos of student life. I learned from it and even met new people just by exploring what was around me. I think the one task that got me was to find a student to show me how they are a fan of our sports teams, but I found a guy who helped out with that really well. I think everyone did a great job with this one.
Prior to this assignment I've never heard of Storify and I like finding out about what it is. I think I'll utilize it again in the future.
If you want to take a look at it, here's the link:
