The objective was to create an augmented reality experience based on an article. I worked with Stephanie Hoff to develop this project, and it is based on an article from the Atlantic about the zoom world we live in today, and the deja vu it causes people. But our communication goal for this project evolved into the ways that being on zoom lends a focus to more on yourself than what is going on around you.
Research, outline, write, design, and produce a piece of design using print, motion, and/or interaction/experience to educate my peers about a designer of your choice. The goal was to track the context of my chosen designer(s) and their work. My designer was Paula Scher, and I chose to make a map featuring important works from her career because Paula Scher is known for making maps of all types.
The goal of this project was to create an overall experience with a found data set, that has many data points. I made a data visualization to showcase that a woman on average does not make the same as compared to a man in any state. This was an important topic to me because it’s frustrating to see that this wage gap still exists. I hope this project can inspire some sort of change, even if it only leaves the viewer with insightful information, that would be impactful.
Using the lyrics to a song of your choice, create one 30-45 second motion sequence using primarily animated typography and one additional secondary design element (i.e. image, shape, line, etc). I chose to do White Walls By Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, pulling in the imagery of Cadillacs contrasted among modern cars and styles, to highlight the freedom and personality of owning a Cadillac.
Design and print a 250-page publication using the content from Edward U. Condons report of Scientific Unidentified Flying Objects. Not only was this about designing a large body of content into a digestible format, but the other goals of this project were to: understand the grid, define reader relationships, and utilize Adobe InDesign.
Map the origin and evolution of a wicked societal problem while addressing the needs of a given audience (human-centered design). By understanding its complexity and trajectory, teams will be able to respond and intervene to a specific problem identified in their research. Working in teams of 4, students will focus on climate-related issues as it pertains to Detroit and the Greater Wayne County area. Our team’s wicked societal problem was pollution and carbon emissions. I worked in a team with: Brenna Potter, Andrea Fredricksen, and Brooklin Bekolay to create a project that indirectly addressed the pollution issue in Wayne County, Michigan.
