Design School Imposter

Tiny Robots in the Wine

I'm working on a candy wrapper for school and I decided to make a robot design on the inside of the wrapper as a deliverable. After the wrapper completes its candy preserving duty, it can be re-purposed into a little paper robot to play with, collect and/or arrange with other robots in sexually suggestive positions.

I've been excited about patterns lately — like the St. Dalfour tea pattern after which the surrounding robot pattern was modeled. It's isn't an exact rip off but I did want to embrace the organic, non-patterned pattern feel to it.

Non-pattern. Pattern. Non-pattern. Pattern. Non-pattern. Pattern. Non-pattern. Pattern. Non-pattern.

They Might Be Giants LP Project

A recent class project: design an LP cover of our choice. I chose They Might Be Giants popular album Flood because I wanted to create lots of silly symbols. This involved listening to the album again and making lists like, "armchair, casket, bag of groceries, head in a basket." 

 The outside sleeve is durable mylar with vectored drawings. The inside record sleeve is gouache paint on sturdy white paper.

Big ups and thanks to Erik Marinovich of Friends of Type for presenting a lettering workshop at the Portland State University Graphic Design department-- an ampersand club of sorts. Click through to see everyone's ampersand. Mine is above.
