This project introduces basic camera operations. Students capture a series of photographic images demonstrating the technical features of a digital SLR camera and the specific aesthetic effects of shutter (motion recorded as a still image), aperture (depth of field and tolerance of focus), and making multiple (different) angles of view upon the subject.
The task is to photographically capture examples of elemental design principles found in our surrounding and in everyday objects. Make at least nine (9) photographs for each of the following principles: point, line, and movement. The goal is for students to practice their composition/framing skills and isolate the raw formal (rather than symbolic) manifestation of each principle. Although we are not necessarily aiming for abstraction, a degree or reduction may be helpful in approaching this project.
In this project students engage photography to capture key formal qualities of objects. We will explore how controls of light (natural and artificial) and composition enable designers to visually describe shape, material, behavior, function, or mood/atmosphere associated with three- dimensional objects.
This project engages photography and studio-lighting techniques to describe specific characteristics of abstract 3D form produced from folded paper. Divided into three segments, the process involves model-making; studio photography; and integration of typography and image.
An typographic investigation were the shapes, colors and transition between vowels are explored to create two generations of font styles.

The experience of Lollapalooza is an event much like deciphering a code; an evening spent trying to find out what to do or where to go. The date and name of event divided into eight to represent the eight stages. Gradients used to show individual values and represent the passing of time just as performers are shown on different stages as time passes. Colors inspired by the fusion of evening hues and used to differentiate the pass, schedule and spirit page from each other. The design gives the people an unconventional experience, which is always the case at Lollapalooza.

This book revisits the summer of 2015, when I visited Cambodia and Vietnam for the first time, and draws from the hundreds of photographs—moments frozen in time—documenting my trip. Through the juxtaposition and pacing of images, I have sought to recreate the collision sights and sounds, tastes and textures and aromas, the places and personalities, that surprised and delighted my senses when I was there.
