One of my few great loves in life is magazine/layout design. Another one is Buzz Lightyear, fun fact: I named my two dogs Buzz and Woody after the famous Toy Story duo. So naturally I chose to take this project to infinity...and beyond. I started with this photo (also pictured above) which I found here: http://bsnscb.com/woody-wallpapers/27250441.html. After I found the perfect photo which I felt had enough motion and parts to create an interesting effect with the text, I use

The Chronicles of Narnia have reached major success due to the highly acclaimed film francise. But for me it all started with good ole paper and ink. When I was in elementary school parents would come every Friday and read chapters of C.S. lewis's Narnia books to us. Every week I looked forward to hearing the rest of the Pevensey kids fantastical adventures. This got me thinking about how to re-imagine this classic children's book...but for a more mature audience. This is wha

I will preface this with the controversial but oh-so-true fact that I have never seen Stranger Things. However, it is on my summer list and after this challenge I think I'll have to start it this weekend. The strangest thing about this challenge is that it was way more challenging than I ever imagined. I am partial to adobe illustrator for my typography needs...so taking it back to the days when I solely used photoshop was more challenging than expected. Photoshop now seems m

Photo I took of a rainbow at Disney's Magic Kingdom before editing. Everyday I get on social media and look at highly edited, over color corrected, artistic photos. Instagram put the ordinary selfie or landscape shot to shame when it came out with filters and easy edited tools to help the everyday photo look more original and unique. This assignment made what became ordinary, the filters, extraordinary again. For the first time I saw these filters through the eyes of their de

I never liked my car. When I first got it, passed down from my Dad, I hated it so much. I thought it was the ugliest gold little car I had ever seen. It felt dirty and old. I was ashamed. But they knew. They knew I would fall in love with it. It grew on me over time and soon Finn (the car) and I became inseparable. He carried me to many big events; graduation, college, my first really big internship... Finn was great. Finn showed me that if it's not Subaru, it's not for me! N

So what if Ed Sheeran walked into a bar? What if that bar was the Meatball house? Known for its european atmosphere and pub, the Meatball House is the type of place friendly and down-to-earth British success Ed Sheeran might love. Ed Sheeran is relatable and knowledgeable about beers and bar food because he is known for trying local restaurants in every city he tours in. This plus his classic British look makes him my ideal choice for a celebrity spokesperson. The Meatball Ho

Today I was tasked with writing about how design is shown in every day life, so obviously I choose to go to the most magical place on earth: Disney World! In the photo on the left you can see an example of proportion in design. This etch-a-sketch in the Toy Story Mania line makes you feel like a child. It takes you back to the days when everything else felt so big and fantastical. Later in the day I saw Disney's "The Music of Pixar: Live." I noticed the set design used the co

Yesterday I got my Typo on for class...Typography that is. I have always loved design but sometimes words seem to get in the way. Lucky for me thats where the art of typography comes into play. Games like "I shot the serif" turn helpful skills into a fun game. Can you tell the difference? Another one of the games helps stretch your pairing skills. I love pairing cursive and long skinny all caps fonts so this one has my heart. You act like you are on some sort of dating game a

I am currently in that phase of college where I am trying something new and I have to do a lot of personal introductions. So here is a documented digital version for your enjoyment. I am coming into my third year as an Advertising student at the University of Oklahoma...except I actually won't be on campus this year...or even in the state. I am currently doing a yearlong internship with the Walt Disney Company's internal advertising agency,Yellow Shoes. This was dream of min
