The necessity of having art and design as part of a complete education experience in high school is important not only to the students and their development, but to our society as a whole. This advertisement was created to promote art and design classes at Thurgood Marshall high school in San Francisco.
Since teenagers and their parents are two very different audiences, two advertisements were created. The first, targeted towards parents, was formatted to be placed on bus lines around the area and focused on the educational aspects of art and design. The second advertisement was a large poster that was placed within the hallways of the high school and focused on self expression.Advertising, Print Design, Typography2012 -

These announcements were created for my graduation from San Francisco State. I wanted a look that was fun and creative but professional. I also included my business card when sending out the announcement, which displays the same theme of fun colors but clean typography.Print Design, Illustration, Graphic Design2012 -

Abbie Hoffman was an activist most famous for his ability and willingness to start trouble in the name of getting people to question authority. This project was approached as if it had been produced by Abbie Hoffman himself. Hoffman was famous for his manual “Steal This Book,” in which he explains how to live for free. Although I did not actually steal any materials for this project, my goal was to make it look as though the materials had been scavenged, traded, or bought for a very small fee.Print Design, Branding, Graphic Design2012
