Adobe Certified Professional in visual and video design. Client and campaign work, most recent first. Different tools from the engineering, same habit of doing the version nobody sees five times before the one they do.
A class assignment to take a brand apart: what its identity is built on, what it does well, and who it leaves out. The layout does the arguing. Values and impacts run down one side, positive and negative down the other, and the bottle holds the middle while the wave pattern behind it comes straight off the packaging.
Two service adverts built on one layout system: a shared grid, type scale and colour set, so the pair reads as a campaign rather than two posters.
Front-of-house wayfinding. The welcome board walks a visitor through three numbered steps and hands them a QR code at step two.
An Honors American History project: invent a political party, then sell it. Our party was Romulus. I built the identity, the wolf crest in red and navy with stencil type, ran it across two campaign posters, and cut the commercial, which is still one of my favourite video editing projects.
A poster for a class assignment, built on the visual language of the Obama HOPE poster. My brother is the face in it. Not part of the Romulus project.
A school project set in the language of mid-century propaganda print. One ribbon of stencil type carries the amendment through the whole composition, the photographs are duotoned down to a single red so they read as one surface, and the Declaration of Independence is set large and low-contrast as the background texture.
A two-sided card for a macaroon and pastry bakery. Pattern, script and a 'flip me' tab doing the work of getting the second side read. The owner's contact details on the back are blurred here.
A single mark that has to be two things at once: the letter T, and a test tube with the level and bubbles reading as blood.
