Though this phase of the project is over, I thought this was still a brilliantly done infographic. :3

You can always call/text me, but I'm not naive enough to put my number on here, so if you need it, please don't hesitate to email me! I'll gladly fork it over. :)

Typographic Posters (Familiar, eh?)
Today, our Type II class has been working in-studio on a series of typographic posters concerning a hypothetical lecture from a visiting designer of our professor's choice. After researching, we were instructed to photograph a particularly beautiful building on campus, Vanderslice Hall, from the POV of the designer we were assigned. (Bear in mind that each student was given a different designer)
After that, we worked in a given set of parameters with a very limited copy and very limited set of rules to make a small series of typographical posters, exploring certain typographical elements of hierarchy to convey information in these posters.
Check out these beautiful typographic masterpieces.
The designer that I was assigned is Deborah Sussman, an interdisciplinary designer and architect. Deborah is most well known for her branding of the 1984 olympics, getting her into Time magazine's "Bets of the Decade." Among other well known branding projects (such as Hasbro and Siney wayfinding), Deborah often dappled in inner and outer architectural design, using saturated, quirky colors and shapes to convey a sense of fun and restlessness.
Despite her pioneering in the design world, Deborah Sussman was a rather obscure find. Upon searching in the library, her name didn't come up anywhere, and she doesn't even have a Wikipedia page. (Not that Wikipedia is exactly a credible source, but you'd think a Time Magazine worthy designer would at least get a paragraph, am I right?)
In conclusion, my findings on Deborah are much more in depth than what I've provided here, and she's truly been a huge impact on the design world that we are so familiar with today.

7 Deadly Sins: 7 Deadly Photographs
Our next project in my image class is to convey the 7 deadly sins via photographs. It's a fairly simple objective, but there are so many variables to take into account!
The idea I've decided to go with is based on the theory I've recently formed which states that all of the deadly sins can be executed in a bathroom. Funny, right? So, for the execution of my project, I'm going to go with a very "caught in the act" feel with my photos, like I'd be sneaking up on everybody and seeing the sin mid-action.
Here are the first few of the first round.
Can you guess which sin is which?
*Due to server issues, you can find the images right here!*
