Interactive Media
Last semester I was a teachers assistant for Slavko Milekic’s Interactive Media class. This is a graduate class taught in the Art and Design Education Department. It is a class for aspiring art and design teachers to gain a better understanding of the capabilities of technology today via hands on projects. The class was structured...continue reading
Mo' pinup space
As Nick and I have begun to work again, we’ve quickly discovered that we lack sufficient pinup space. What to do, what to do? Make some more obviously. We hammered out a quick design, moving from the t-shaped base, like the whiteboards we have, to an A-frame for strength and simplicity. We then Snagged some...continue reading
Back At It!
Right back at it. The holiday break was great. A nice time away. Visited friends and family saw a lot of the Western North Carolina mountains. Good stuff. Now, though, it is work time. Nick and I are taking our thesis project to the next step. We are looking at building an argument around the...continue reading
Update: City Limits
I just wanted to post a quick update that the infographic I worked on for City Limits has now been published! Pretty psyched. There were just few small changes, font and color and such, which I expected, so no biggie. Check it out here. It is on pages 34 and 35 of the magazine.continue reading
Personal Progression
As classes draw to a close, projects continue to wrap up. We don’t have Methods class critiques until next Tuesday but the work is pretty much done. The most interesting of the three projects, for me, was of course the personal map of the last decade. I evaluated myself in terms of my skills, experiences...continue reading
Penn Medicine Progress Presentation & Prototype
The Presentation: A few weeks ago, before Thanksgiving, my studio team presented our progress to some of the executives at UPHS. It was structured to explain our process and how we used it to develop a set of high and mid-level themes of common perspectives on the culture of learning and sharing within their healthcare...continue reading
Research, Sketching, Mapping, Prototyping
As an elective this semester I took a freshman class that goes over a lot of design tools. It’s focused on helping people get a cursory understanding of what design is and begin to expose them to their own creative process. One of the deliverables for this project is a book of all, or most,...continue reading
City Limits
In our methods class we focus more on graphic design and data and we’ve been given the opportunity to develop an info-graphic for the City Limits magazine. It’s an exciting opportunity to actually get some work published! Not only that but this issue will be especially timely, hitting the news-stands just before the primaries. The...continue reading
Visualize!
This past weekend we had another session with Jonny Goldstein. It was great, perfect timing and all. Nick and I have collected a ton of information about our thesis topic but we haven’t had time to really put it all out and see it together to see all the connections. This weekend we got to...continue reading
Remás Book Arrival!
It finally happened! This book seemed to have taken a year to make and it’s finally here. Now it’s time for editing. Here’s the digital version it’s based on: Open publication – Free publishing – More designcontinue reading
Charrette Done!
It has finally ended…three days ago that is. The focus was on connections and making meaning. I’d just write about what we did, but after watching the other presentations I realize we went a different direction than the rest. It began with everyone bringing in an object that was meaningful to them. I brought in...continue reading
Charrette
Tomorrow it begins. Charrette, for us, is a 3 day event that shuts the floor down. Both underclassmen and graduates work together to create something fast. We haven’t found out what the topic is yet or anything about it really other than the fact that the groups are smaller than last year, 5-6 people instead...continue reading
