Description
After reading the book, The Alchemist by Paul Coelho, I had to conceptually illustrate the book using the title of the book, the author's name, and my own illustration that would represent the essence of the book. I chose to work with pen for the linework and various textures which I utilized in Photoshop.

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.

One Candle, 5 Movements
Inspired by alphabet illustration/design work, I was supposed to make postcard/flashcard designs based on five of the many design movements (A-Z). The artwork would illustrate the style of the chosen art movement and would include the alphabet initial of the chosen movement, the name of the movement, and one neutral object throughout. I chose Art Nouveau, Constructivism, SachPlakat, Suprematism, and Surrealism. Although the styles are different there had to be unity between all of the cards as if it were a set/series.
Final Piece was chosen to be in the AIGA Emerge Exhibit, among other students' work, to represent our school, Art Institute of Los Angeles.

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.
