My fifth semester into the DAI department, I have inspired and compelled to create works that will teach me about design in the professional world. In order to be ready for this realm of design, I have decided to bring forth five of my works to prepare for my portfolio.
Randall Museum Logo
Date: December 2008
Project:
Create a logo that represents the museum and is appealing to children.
Solution:
I’ve incorporated elements of leaves, feathers, and shells to resemble a child’s tactile development. These are all elements, which are strongly present in throughout the museum since they concentrate heavily on natural science.
Randall Museum Poster
Date: December 2008
Project: Create an ad for the Randall Museum along with a tag line. Make sure the tag line represents the museum.
Solution: I represented the bees in my poster because they were such a fun element to the museum. The tag line is “Knowledge as sweet as honey” to encourage the learning aspect of the museum.
Randall Museum Postcard
Date: December 2008
Project:
Create a postcard for a Randall Museum event on hawks, falcons, and raptors.
Solution:
I created a postcard that had an owl on it to represent the museum. I managed to place the given text on both sides of the postcard by changing the tracking and font size in order to effectively place the text.
Designer Book: Maviyane-Davies
Date: October 2008
Project:
Create a 40 page designer book that displays the overall feeling of the assigned designer.
Solution: I concentrated on Davies’ political background in Zimbabwe. The colors and contrasts were reflective of the Zimbabwean flag, which represented his leap from freedom of oppression, and into the arms of his designs.
Typographical Self Portrait
Date: September 2008
Project:
Create a self-portrait logo using a san serif, serif, and script.
Solution:
I used three different elements to represent my initials, SLR. Each letter is symbolical for my personality.
