This was an assignment I had in my Graphic Design II class. The objective for this assignment was to create a promotional campaign for a non-profit organization of our choice. I chose to do a campaign for the Minnesota Zoo. I created a campaign where people would donate money to the zoo and the top 10 donations would get an exclusive pass into the part after hours to see how things are run when they aren't open. These are three posters that I made to spread word about the campaign. I used photos that I had taken at my past visits to the zoo. The "Walk with the Wild" was created by me but the logo in the bottom right corner is the Minnesota Zoo's logo. I used the diamond idea because I wanted to show people all the different kinds of animals the zoo had to offer. There were many animals I didn't even include but I wanted to show as many as I could. I really enjoyed working on this project because the zoo is a place I will always enjoy going to in the years to come.

Here is a photograph that I took last summer on my trip to the Windy City, Chicago. Not only do I like Graphic Design and the visual communications of Design but taking my own photographs has also been a rewarding hobby of mine. This photograph shows the amazing cityscape of Chicago while also showing the leisure side of things.

For this assignment I had the opportunity to research a bunch of different restaurants and different types of logos that are associated with those companies. Because seafood is my favorite food I decided that theme would be good to explore further. This small scale, fine dining restaurant is set on the east coast and is a place that families like

to eat at anytime during the week.

Using Caslon Italic font I was asked to create a piece using a word along with a picture that in some way resembles the word chosen. I chose a scene that anyone who has ever dealt with an uncooperative pet can imagine.

Smoking is one of few habits that I have strong feels against. I have always felt that a person has a choice whether or not to do it themselves but I will never do it myself. For this project we were given the task to create anything we wanted in Adobe Photoshop. There were no limitations and the professor wanted us to design something that represented us in some way. Instead of having just a cigarette at the bottom and the smoke coming from that I wanted the fire to represent the many different forms that could give off smoke. The skull represents the fact that these many different aspects don't just effect the person using them but also travels through the output these produce.
