Bo Lundberg Pattern


I made the tree pattern in Illustrator for class and turned it into a dinner plate in Photoshop.  The assignment was for us to look through a book of patterns and then create our own after an artist whose style we liked.  I chose Bo Lundberg.  He creates simple designs out of everyday objects.  His works feel retro to me, but are clean and modern at the same time. His designs mainly play with silhouettes and transparencies through the use of solid blocks of color.

Yearbook Yourself Ads

Square 1/4 Page

Horizontal 1/8 page

11X17"

These are a few example of the designs I made to advertise the October portrait dates for the Ibis Yearbook at UM.  They were used for flyers and posters and were put in student publications like the Hurricane newspaper.  I made ten slightly different versions altogether because there were ten different ad space sizes available to us.  I used the popular website "yearbookyourself.com" as inspiration for the tag line and the silhouette.

Thank You Postcard

Thank you!

I designed this postcard for my internship at UM's College of Arts and Sciences.  It was sent out to thank those donors who gave $100 or less to the COAS.

College of Arts and Sciences Notecard

I made this notecard for my internship with UM's College of Arts and Sciences.  They wanted a redesign of their old card.

These are a couple samples from the figure drawing class I took a couple summers ago at the Waldron Art Center.

Magazine Spread - Lines and Planes

Lines and Planes

This is a class assignment.  We were to take photos of lines and planes, and then use them in a magazine layout called "Lines and Planes."  The copy is filler text because it was a quick, in-class assignment.

Magazine Spread - Uncle Who?

Uncle Who? The Story of a Paranoid Schizophrenic

This is a magazine spread I made for class.  I made the photo-illustration out of old school portraits my mom gave me of my uncle.
