You Say You Want A Revolution?

As part of a class assignment for graphic design, I was given the assignment to create an infographic for any topic of my choosing.  As a life long fan of The Beatles, I naturally chose to present information regarding The Beatles.  The project allowed me to think and visualize information in a new way that is not normal.  Since it is for the purpose of education, it is implied that if it were an actual client, they would allow the use of all names, logos, images, and copyrighted material in these designs.  

Note that the quality is rather poor, for that I apologize. If you wish to see a better quality version, I can be contacted by e-mail.

Definitely, Like Nothing Else


As part of a class assignment for graphic design, I was given the assignment to take the packaging of an every day item, and appropriately implement them on a Hummer.  For this I chose to use Nutri-Grain granola bars. Since it is for the purpose of education, it is implied that if it were an actual client, they would allow the use of all names, logos, images, and copyrighted material in these designs.

A Poster With A Different Type of Goal

As part of a class assignment for imaging graphics, I was given the opportunity to create a poster to promote a human rights violation. From this assignment I chose the treatment of international soccer players in North Korean by Kim Jung Il after the 2010 South African World Cup.  My other guideline was that I had to base the style of the piece off of russian constructivism in the early 20th century.  Since it is for the purpose of education, it is implied that if it were an actual client, they would allow the use of all names, logos, images, and copyrighted material in these designs.

I am the designer that Gotham needs

As part of a class assignment for advanced advertising, I was given the opportunity to design a microsite for Hot Wheels toy cars and was able to pick any car I wanted to use. From this I chose the new line of Batman cars.  Along with a homepage, there is a promotional give away page, as well a page displaying all the new cars.  As the owner of the designs and in no way profit from the pieces, no copyright infringement is intended on any involved party.  Since it is for the purpose of education, it is implied that if it were an actual client, they would allow the use of all names, logos, images, and copyrighted material in these designs.  

For a more recent addition, I have created two e-mail advertisements for this very campaign.  One is meant to mimic the exact microsite.  The second, however, is meant to be a monthly newsletter for Hot Wheels club members.

For the project, we were allowed to use filler text, so disregard and gibberish you may come across.
