The project was designing an identity system for Annenberg Photospace in the Comm Des 4: Identity Systems class at ArtCenter College of Design. Annenberg Photospace is a cultural destination that exhibits both digital and print photography. The visual system manifests the dynamic application of the logo mark; the logo mark represents the gesture while taking a photo, and the negative space that forms a rectangle within the mark symbolizes the positive and negative concept in photography. It serves as a framing device for images to be placed in the rectangular space, and the color palette represents light and shades in photography.

This piece was originally an assignment for my diploma of design. The idea behind this piece was to create a typeface and specimen without restrictions and that catch your eye. When designing this piece, I always intended to use geometric shapes because it’s an area of design I love but don’t get to do often. When creating the specimen, I wanted to highlight the use of geometric shapes by using 3D printed parts to create a 3D representation of the flat illustration.

A poster series designed for a fictional film festival. Bryant Park Film Festival features ten classic films and takes place in the summer. The layout of the park is the main inspiration of the composition. Information about the festival and the featured film wrap around the image to represent the aerial view of the festival. The repetition of imagery and typographic treatment is designed to mimic film strips, creating a sense of movement. This project was produced in Scott Buschkuhl’s Design Portfolio class.

Typography has always been essential to graphic design. Designers not only focus on making reading as enjoyable as possible but also intend to create moods and reflect values and aesthetic impressions with their work. Typefaces hold the power to communicate through more than just words and sentences. So far, most high-quality and approved typefaces are mainly issued by type foundries. I curated the work of over a hundred independent graphic and type designers and asked everyone to design a typographic poster following a few criteria to best illustrate the aesthetic potential and emotional power of each typeface. NEW AESTHETIC is a curation of extraordinary, contemporary pieces of typographic art and shows how an abundance of letter shapes express their own story, feelings, and aesthetic.

This is a series of typographic explorations translating sense of touch into visceral visual languages. The piece invites viewers to experience type in multiple sensory dimensions through looking, touching, and interacting. The project reflects research about phenomenology and multisensory design.

This is a kinetic type animation about the daily routine of my life as a student at Belmont University and as a freelance animator outside of class. I set the creative limit of only using whole letters and words. No letterforms were harmed in the making.

The Reel Palestine Film Festival is an annual festival that takes place in Dubai to celebrate and shed light on Palestinian films. The poster I designed was inspired by the fragmented map of Palestine. I fragmented the title of the festival to refer to the map. The repetition and rotation of the title reference the reel in terms of sequence and the physical movement of the reel. The overall concept was to show the fragmentation as well as the idea of coming together in a continuous manner to imply the movement of the reel again.

A reproduction of Memory Street, a 1960s–1970s South Korean street, is located in the Korean National Folk Museum, where you can easily look into the life and culture of that era. Despite its unique characteristics, it’s not very popular to many people living in Korea, and accessibility is a problem. Therefore, this identity project’s objective was to promote this street and create a generational bond by using its features. The logo, graphical elements, and color were initially defined, and in that process the visual pattern was also designed. The promotional poster in particular was inspired by Memory Street’s original street signs and posters.

“Unbound” is the degree show theme for the graduating students of Norwich University of the Arts’ BA (Hons) Graphic Communication course of 2018. The circle serves as the main idea behind the show’s identity, being one of the most common shapes found in nature, representing the symmetry found in nature, art, and design in its many forms. The circle serves as a commentary on the multidisciplinary practice of the graduating students as they explore visual communication not restricted by subject, style, process, media, platform, and protocol, crossing the boundaries between physical and digital.

This is a compendium on cultural semiotics and their connections with the act of modern-day protest. This book surveys the objects, language, symbols, and codes of resistance by breaking down the historical, regional, and modern-day uses of each unit. Without the context of gun violence in the United States, a hoodie is just a hoodie. Without the context of women’s health, a coat hanger is just a coat hanger. The purpose of this narrative is to reveal the intricacies of language juxtaposed with the intricacies of civil disobedience.
