Portrait of the Artist as a brand

The meta logo was intended to be a combination of my past, future, private, public, gender, and values. What makes me unique and if I had an identity...what it would look like. My life in a nutshell basically. Although I think no at first, it's a lot easier to create something when the focus is on me. It was fun gathering all sorts of icons/symbols/logos and deconstructing them to then reconstruct them into something different that represents me.

Quest of the (Un)Common

This was a motion piece I created using still images. We were asked to document a frequent, common journey we normally take for granted and has become a mindlessly automatic experience and think about how we can make the ordinary, well, extraordinary. So my everyday journey begins when I wake up to get ready for school. I particularly used circular objects throughout the piece as a way to symbolize repetition, routine, over and over. Same thing, different day basically. Then when I'm all ready for school, I open the blinds and there is a carnival awaiting outside my home. A carnival being that one thing to make my day extraordinary. Break away from the routine. Something that isn't in town all year round.

Newsspeaking - fictional newspaper

This project actually turned out to be a lot more fun than I thought it'd be. I was to be the creator of my own newspaper. My concept was to convert any bad news into good news. I had a list of title possibilities, but settled with "The Sweet Scoop". I started by scanning the original paper and cutting up all the headlines and story content provided on the front page only, to then be able to edit and manipulate the intended message and create alternate "truths". It's interesting to see how one word alone can change an entire story.
