Cultural Taboo Publication
The class as a team had to create a collective publication.
Based on the guidelines of the groups, each student had to choose their own four taboos to research on, write the articles, create the illustrations, take their own photography/video, and finally design their own layouts, all to prepare for the final print, as well as the digital.
Digital Publishing Suite (DPS) was used for the digital publication.

Car Manual Redesigned
The assignment was to redesign a car manual that would be more visually pleasing and interesting to read as well as look at -- the challenge being to fit all the text and images of the original manual into the design. Given the car manual of the Toyota Prius, I thought about what were the most important characteristics of a Prius that makes this car special. The car is eco-friendly and runs on gas AND electric. The whole design becomes powered through vibrant colors, sparks, waves of electricity, and an engine-block-turned-battery.

Experimental "TYPE THREE"
For these assignments I had to come up with my own style of lettering using the name of the class, "Type 3." Simple vibrant colors were chosen to put emphasis and clarity on the letters' forms. Another guideline was to show interconnectedness between the letters, especially by breaking the baselines.

Piggyback Tracks
For this project I had to find elements in a collection of photos I had taken, that I could combine in order to create a style of type that represents the Union Station, a location I chose for the project.
"Piggyback Tracks": The goal was to come up with a name that would be fun and amusing to a kid. The same way that kids get piggyback rides from their parents, people ride the buses/trains at the Union Station to get from place to place.
