Graphic Design
After taking a design class I learned some basics of design as well as how to use Adobe InDesign and Illustrator. Here are some of my projects from class and others I did on my own.
This assignment was to redesign the face cards and backs of a standard card deck according to a theme. I chose to design face card for my favorite impressionist artists. The hearts are themed after Monet, the spades after Renoir, diamonds after Van Gogh, and clubs after Degas. The jokers are Picasso and Gauguin.
Playing Cards Design
The Hardwood Mall, Emlenton PA
An original T-shirt design for the business I worked with summer 2023. The Harwood Mall wanted new shirts for its employees to be more easily identified with the business. The design depicts the center of the main warehouse at the Hardwood Mall distinguished by the timber frame doorway. In the background are the rolling forest hills of midwestern Pennsylvania. In the distance, the Hardwood Mall delivery truck drives across the Emlenton Bridge, a characteristic landmark of the area.

T-Shirt Design
My senior year of Highschool I had the opportunity to design a T-shirt for my volleyball team.
Here is the sketch and the final product.
Timberwolves
Square Project
Our first project for class was to use Points, Lines, and Planes to show Hierarchy through Interval, Alignment, Texture, and Scale. This project was very abstract for a beginner of design but looking back now, with a better comprehension of Hierarchy, I understand the project much more.
Page Project
In our next project for class we created three coffee book page designs about these three famous designers. We were given content to be included on each page and we were to arrange the information on each page,
creating clear hierarchy. This was our introduction to typography and I learned a lot about different functions in InDesign as well as how to activate white space.
POSTER
PROJECT
Our final project was to design a poster for an upcoming lecture series put on by Grove City College. Again, we were given all the information to include on the poster but the goal was to make a poster that was eye-catching and had a clear hierarchy.
As with any Design project, this poster went through many iterations before it was turned in. at the beginning of the year our professor told us, "Design is never finished; it is only done because of the due date". I believe this is true of things outside of design as well.
