Threadless Tee Design

For my Drawing & Design for Illustrators class, we were to create a t-shirt design for Threadless and have it be somewhat inspired by a song. Once I finished my graphic, I figured it was well described by the first line of Brad Paisley's song "I'm Still a Guy": "When you see a deer you see Bambi, and I see antlers up on the wall".

The Buying and Selling of America

First project of the quarter is done! Just spent a good hour at the printer trying to get the color right. This poster is for Graphic Design Studio I, and the prompt was to design an 17"x24" poster that aims to create public dialog regarding Lobbyists and Lawmakers. Like most of my previous projects, the subject was my choice so I tried to stick to something that I feel strongly about. I chose to speak out about the lack of nutrition in America. Instead of taking preventative measures for their health, many believe that their health problems will later be fixed by modern medicine.

NattyEm's is Live!

NattyEm's Cupcake Company's new website is finally up and running so check it out! And go order some cupcakes if you're in the Knoxville area :) www.nattyemscupcakes.com

NattyEm's Website Final

My final project for Digital Page and Web Graphics was to redesign a website of our choice, creating at least 10 pages. I chose NattyEm's Cupcake Company, a small cupcake catering business out of Knoxville, TN which is co-owned by Natalie Thomas, Alexander's sister. The website should be live within the next few weeks, so when it is I'll be sure to post the URL. Below are screenshots of each page. Is it bad that I enjoyed all of this tedious work?

HUCK Redesign

Project II for Digital Page- redesign a magazine's cover (including logo), spine, contents page, and the feature spread. I chose Huck magazine, a surf/skate/snow culture magazine published in the UK, and got to learn a little more about Spike Jonze.

Making G's

My first Drawing for Design (draw230) project this quarter was to design two letterforms (uppercase and lowercase) based on the golden proportions with a certain period of art in mind. I made G's based on Optical Art. They're done by hand- yes, I'm insane- in micron pen.

NO PATTERN

Last night, Chuck Anderson from No Pattern Design came to do a lecture at SCAD . I was lucky enough to have him sit in on my Digital Page and Web Graphics class earlier that day where he joined in on our magazine redesign critique. As soon as he walked in, we were all surprised about how young he was, and minutes later found out the he never even went to college. As my first classmate showed her work, Chuck confessed that this was the first time that he had ever been in a college classroom, and witnessed a face-to-face crit. "I don't know if I could handle someone dishing out feedback about my work the way you guys do. The only criticism I've ever had to receive has been over the phone". It was incredible to see his talent later that night, doing professional work for a variety of companies such as Absolute Vodka, Burton Snowboards, Bank of America, and Reebok since he was 18. Now Chuck is only 25, and has firmly established himself as a graphic artist in the design industry. Prettttty imspriational! Take a look at his site.
