Making Legends: Cosplay Culture
Making Legends: Cosplay Culture was an exhibition at the Firehouse Art Center from May 17-July 31 2024. This exhibition was in collaboration with SOONERCON. In designing the signage for this show, the goal was to highlight the artist cosplays present, and to have a theme between the social media and gallery signs. This was achieved by creating a poster with half the cosplays presented in the show. In the middle of the poster is the guardian, the lines that make this character up can be found in all the social media post and gallery signage. The typeface used for the title is meant to give off a sense of fantasy and medieval feel that is felt in most of these world the cosplay comes from.
With an exhibition opening comes a lot of events to market. among these were dices boxes make by local wood working artist, Table Top Game Night and Live Mario Kart 8. Live Mario Kart is an event were participants play Mario kart while a live band and announcer guide the game play. It's not everyday you get to draw Catbus driving a Mario Kart at work.

Vanity Fur
Animal Issue
After taking this picture of Potter (above photo) I knew it belonged on the cover of a scandalous magazine.
The idea was to create a fun playful magazine from the animals point of view. Filled with current events about animals, that affect the entire world. For example, how camels are dying from ingesting water bottle waste, or how large number of starfish are dying from a new bacteria. Important stories that usually are not heard. Our pets are peoples pride and joy, we need to help them and animals around the world. Spreads coming soon!

Personality
Book, Poster
and Postcards
Who are you, is a book that looks into the nine Enneagram personalities. Each section focuses on one personality, looking at their strengths, weaknesses, interactions with others and what jobs may be perfect
for them. The sections each end with a quote that is meant to inspire that specific personality type. Each
section is separated by the color that represents that personality. The purpose of the book, is the more you
know, the better you can be. If you can understand why you think or act they way you do, then you have the ability to become a better you. The book is also meant to be an enjoyable read, that is different for everybody.

In support of the book, postcards and posters were created. The posters serve as a personality quiz. There
are nine questions, as you go through each, points are accumulated. Then check the key card to see which personality you fall into. Everyone has all nine personality traits, but there is always a dominate one. Our personality also changes based on our state of mine, whether we are stressed or upset. The point of the postcards is not to bring you down to one personality but to narrow you down to a few.

Once a person finds out their dominate personality they could get a poster with that specific type. It would have the best attribute of that type, along with three words that represent them. The posters are a celebration of who you are!
The textures created in the book, postcard and posters were made from a painting. Using all nine of the personality colors I made a paint pour. In the book these textures have an overlay of the personality color. The paintings show how the personalities are separate, but come together to create a masterpiece. The project was to show how we are all masterpieces.

The portraits are meant to embody the element. Each one is inspired by mythology, and should feel timeless.

TM Magazine
Covers
TM stands for Typographische Monatsblätter, which was an important journal that brought Swiss Typography
and Design to an international level. This became a standard in Typography. In this project three covers were created from the influence of TM Covers. The first used the repetition of 5, to create an integral pattern. The second consisted of allowing three different languages to coexist on one cover. The third was created by laying down gunpowder in the word Typography, and lighting it. The goal was to take a few picture before the paper caught fire.
