Weather Report

The goal of this project was to master the "L.A.T.C.H." concept (location, alphabet, time, category, and hierarchy). Choosing 3 of these concepts, we were to create a weather report no longer than 1:30 minutes long.

I used Location, Alphabet, and Time. Using quick transitions and animation, I tried to, while making the information clear and aesthetically appealing, make the video seem as professional and believable as possible. The images were created in Adobe Illustrator and imported to Adobe After Effects.

Kitchen of Meaning

The goal of this project was developing conceptual brainstorming. We were supposed to develop critical thinking skills as a means of analysis, talking about, and making design. Additionally, we were to understand the relationship of audience, design choices, and communication performance goals. All of this was to be done through a selection of a word from a list on a 18"x24" poster. My word was "nascent"

(above) is the current version. The final is due 03/28/2011 and I have a few things to fix. Final will be uploaded when it's done.

(final version)

Loved this project. This is the perfect example of a project that you're excited to see the final product for. I am extremely pleased with how this one turned out, and plan to keep this as a major portfolio piece for several years. This was created in Adobe Illustrator CS5 and printed at St. Edward's University.
