field guide

The field guide was my favorite project to date. We were allowed to choose any subject around Austin to create a field guide for. After choosing my subject, I began exploring all of Austin's swimming holes. After visiting a few, I decided it would be beneficial for someone to know each swimming holes policy on camping, dogs, price, walk to water, and terrain. I originally intended to create a book of this information but later decided that a long accordion poster/foldable book would be a better, more interesting choice. You can take this field guide with you or hang it on your wall for decoration.

octavo vs. mosaic

This paper compares octavo books to the mosaic web browser. We were supposed to choose two different creations, from different time periods, and then compare and contrast the two.

locating place: east austin book

The East Side is an emerging subculture of Austin that can be defined through its traditional community, mysterious atmosphere, and strong focus on art. This book focuses on two aspects that are associated with East Austin: art and trash. I  combined photos of found objects from around the area with graphic overlays, in hopes to repurpose and highlight these strange findings. My goal was to enhance the striking qualities of the objects and show how the two worlds can work together to create interesting collaborations that represent East Austin.

tasa book

The Tasa book was designed as a guide for an upcoming art conference at St. Edward's University. The challenge was managing such a large amount of text for a small book. The theme was "Art + Community" so I tried to play along with that theme by keeping the color palate neutral and combining speaker photographs with patterns of their work.

type specimen book

The type specimen book is meant to showcase the different qualities of a chosen font, mine being ITC Garamond. I had a lot of fun making this book and finding a design that I could keep consistent throughout. In the end I designed 20 pages and created this bound book.
