Batman, Catwoman, The Flash...oh my!

The comics were well represented at the Digital Media Center, with each computer being given the name of a famous super hero or villain. Not sure what happened to computer #2, or who that was supposed to represent, but the rest of the computers in our lab are represented well. And yes, The Flash represented the fastest computer in the lab :)

Lutecast TV

Lutecast was a service offered on the Pacific Lutheran University for people who couldn't make it to football games, concerts, or other important events around the campus or involving PLU students/faculty. The logo you see was one I created - it was used as a button on the school website. (Design created: 2004)

Directional advertising

The following are advertisements for the Digital Media Center, to help students/faculty know where to go, or how to get ahold of us. They were placed throughout the PLU campus library.

'Spill the beans' coffee stand advertisement

I was asked to create advertising for a a grand opening of the PLU library espresso cart. 'Spill the beans' was used because it has a nice double meaning - beans are the essential ingredient to the craft of coffee, and the words 'spill the beans' mean to speak of something that you have been holding on to for too long, or to ruin a surprise or secret. The key to advertising is to have as many people know about your product, though, so in this case it was encouraged to 'spill the beans'. Here's another version of the advertisement:

Architect. Direct. Dissect.

I am so thankful for what I learned as an employee at the Digital Media Center (DMC) on the campus of Pacific Lutheran University. A set of 3 posters, all working together to advertise some of the Adobe software the DMC offers. These posters were displayed around the library (where the DMC was located) and other parts of campus.

#1 - Architect: Advertising that we offer Adobe Illustrator


#2 - Direct: Advertising that we offer Adobe Premiere

#3 - Dissect: Advertising that we offer Adobe Photoshop

Emotions

At times we all feel pain, anguish, anger, lost, frustrated and minuscule in this giant world we are a part of. This was my reasoning behind this creation. The photograph of me stays the same, but different filters and backgrounds are used to intensify my emotions, sometimes making me look more furious, sad, broken or faded. (Design created: 2004)

'Lance-A-Lot'

I photographed classmate Lance in different poses, combined each pose to a separate (and dramatic) background, and added a nice drop shadow that was cast against the cloud cover. This was a fun project that required precise pen tool cropping of Lance from a different background, and the placement of all the Lance's within his new stage. (Design created: 2004)

Baloon warp

This project helped discover how to warp images to make them match the perspective of a totally different object, and to try the best you could to make it look natural. So in this case, you have the balloons (with water spraying) as one image, and then another separate image (of goofy ol' me). Then, the picture of me if duplicated multiple times and then warped to look like there is a design on the balloon and following its contours, or inside the balloon itself possibly.

Car parts city

This little project was to create a futuristic city made mostly of car parts. Windshield wipers as elegant elevators, mufflers as smoke stacks to power plants, pistons as large security towers (with lights atop), steering wheels as branding on top of corporate buildings, etc...
