CD cover I made in Photoshop featuring the fictional band, “Alpha Sphere,” and their fictional (and randomly named) new CD, “Make Up Their Own Minds.” This was for the “Design Star” competition we had in graphic design class today.

Third assignment for my graphic design class: we had to use Photoshop to create a new web interface for a nonprofit. I chose the Autism Society of Ventura County again, and even had a chance to feature the poster I made for the previous assignment. 

The second assignment for my graphic design class was to use Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign to create a poster for an event hosted by a nonprofit. I chose the Autism Society of Ventura County.

First assignment for my graphic design class at Newhouse.

After visiting the “Talk to Me” exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art, I found myself thinking a lot more about the technological devices with which we interact on a daily basis, and their individual interfaces.

So I found this article, which discusses the history of type faces and fonts, to be really interesting. You might think reading about the development of type would be boring, but since it’s so often tangled up with ideologies (utopianism, modernism, etc.), it’s actually really fascinating, I think.
