This series of four posters were created in collaboration with Kate Slovin to advertise the call for entries for the 2010 UCLA Design|Media Arts Undergraduate Show which the two of us are co-curating with Corinna Loo.
Last night I was invited to be the guest speaker for the Youth Leadership America’s (YLA) creativity conference. I discussed my work, my background, my definition of design, tips on how to market yourself, my thoughts on the future of design, and my plans for the future. It was an excellent opportunity to reach out to high schoolers and let them know my ideas for the future. It was especially exciting to see how eager they were to be a part of it. After the talk, the students (about 80) were asked ot split into groups and collaborate on a new logo for the non-profit, YLA. I was extremely impressed by how well thought out the concept were for these logos! It was great to hear the kids mention various concepts I had brought up in my speech while they were delivering their own pitches.
I just completed my second poster for the Campus Events commission. This poster is for the screening of “Ninja Assassins.” I tried to remove myself from the position of designer and put myself in the shoes of the ninja assassin, using a butcher knife and my fists to make much of the imagery for the poster. My hand writing was used in a frantic matter so as to communicate the idea that the poster is under attack.
Kate Slovin, and Corinna Loo, and I are the co-curators and co-designers of the 2010 UCLA DMA Undergraduate show. This is a poster I made in collaboration with my friend, Gregory Ruben (he took the photo).
So I think i may have finished the zine for my tea project. The zine was supposed to act as the education aspect of the project, teaching the proper ways to brew black tea, teaching the origins of tea in general, and explaining the cool benefits of tea! Here are a few spreads from it:
