Game Design: Star Fall

My favorite grad school project thus far has definitely been this game design project. I love games and I love learning so I wanted my game to have an educational component. Star Fall is a speed recognition game that requires players to match constellations. It may seem like a simple matching game, but through repeated play and exposure players will begin to recognize constellation patterns which will hopefully aid them in finding constellations in the night sky. This game specifically features the constellations found in the northern hemisphere.   Class: Traditional Communication Studio, Spring 2018 Professor: Christian Dunn

Arbor Day Celebration Poster

My first completed project for this semester. Huzzah! This was my first time working with lino printmaking, a method of printmaking that involves carving sheets of linoleum. It was very easy to work with and super fun. My concept of a sapling framed by adult trees is pretty straightforward. I chose a cheery yellow and a friendly green for a fun, fresh, and optimistic vibe. Arbor Day Celebration Poster Traditional Communication Studio with Christian Dunn Spring 2018

Quick & Dirty Photoshop Patterns

Playing with pattern-making in Photoshop. Pattern Swatches Pattern Samples It's been awhile since I played around with pattern-making. It's super fun. Normally I work in Illustrator but I wanted to focus on making raster based patterns for a Photoshop Pattern-making demonstration. I used bits of my own photos, drawings, stamp work, watercolor, and paste paper to make what you see here.
