Book Cover

My book cover for An Invisible Sign of My Own, by Aimee Bender (in unfolded/flattened form). This is a book about 19 year old Mona Gray who is hired to teach math to elementary school children. Mona has a history of excelling at just about everything but begins to quit everything she is good at when her dad becomes ill with a mysterious disease. Mona seeks solace in numbers and their finite equations and the answers they provide. She develops OCD tendencies of knocking on wood out of superstition as well as eating soap to try to fend off uncontrollable feelings when her love interest tries to become intimate. The book is about her struggle to abandon her calculated world for the more unwielding path of love.

Wedding Inspiration Board

I haven't posted about the wedding yet but I just loved the visuals on this so much that I had to share it. This includes textures, patterns and colors that I want to incorporate into the wedding design. No peeking at the dress though, the future husband might be watching!

Invented Character

This was a project where we had to invent a character, inspired from an antique photograph we selected and build an interesting visual landscape for a magazine spread.

The Nest

This is a 48in ball covered in a paper mixture. It was in the Fibers show this summer at Texas State.

The Sweet Life

A direct mail VIP invitation for the Austin Museum of Art's annual fundraiser La Dolce Vita. The idea is that this will be hand delivered to a small list of select Austinites, foodies, and media personalities. Each batch of pasta sauce will be made by a chef from a restaurant represented at La Dolce Vita - which is indicated on the top. The tag on the basket points out how lavish this special event will be: "This isn't going to be a picnic"

Save the earth!

Puma redo

Redoing most projects for final portfolios...this one was worth reposting as well (well, i think it is).
