Project #1: Design an orihon style folding booklet visualizing the unique personality and character of your interview partner and their relationship to nature. Collect information about them in order to interpret and transform your research into a compelling design using abstract pattern development, storytelling, poetry, quotes, lyrics etc...
Some questions I had asked my partner for this project included but not limited to, What color do you most resonate with? How has life changed you since Covid? Tell me a transforming experience you’ve had in nature, and what is one thing you want me to know about you?
Project #2: Visualize a highly abstract idea that sources from your growing awareness of the deeper aspects of yourself in your own personal voice by exploring design elements, typography and diverse processes
Calling Intention Question: How can I radiate creativity out into the universe so that we may empower, inspire, and expand our hearts to one another?
Project #3: Design the intention and the brand for a fictitious non-profit organization that engages in the field of water. Your group will design concept map of the field of water, name and intention of your organization, visual identity, online appearance, one artifact of your organization (eg: poster campaign, sculpture, product, animation, exhibit, game, etc) and a ripple story (how the artifact influences individuals, culture, and the world over time)
My responsibilities included creating our groups artifact, and for our artifact I decided to create a 3D sculpture that would theoretically be setup across the bay from the San Fransisco Airport so that there would be lots of foot traffic to see the sculpture and people could see it from incoming and departing planes.
Our brand name for our non-profit was Sierra, and our goal was how can Sierra protect and nurture our water cycle from the harmful effects of microplastics so that all living beings can thrive?
My artifact was called "The Unseen Installation" a common plastic bottle shaped structure that would strive to bring awareness to the harmful microplastics that are in our everyday drinking water.
