For the title wall, I wanted there to be a literal space for people so the audiences could feel engaged and part of the exhibition, which speaks to the concepts in the beautiful show.

This thesis is about visual context, perception, value, and hierarchy. Using art, history, and theory, a robust visual system evolved that relies on the importance of context and conceptualized information. I use this to explore possibilities within the graphic design field.
Each section is introduced with an excerpt from an interview with Jessica Helfand.

The two-sided book jacket doubles as a table of contents and an index for the book.
The performance lecture reviewed the concepts of the thesis, using a mixture of imagery from art history as well as my graphic design work. The presentation began with a nearly empty wall, and using projected slides and added imagery, re-created the book jacket on the wall by adding images as they were discussed in the presentation.

I Want to Understand Film
Fall 2018
Book Design
This is the manifestation of a semester-long inquiry into film. Using the book Film: Space, Light, Time, and Sound, by Lincoln F. Johnson, I set out to understand theory and concepts of filmmaking. I looked for the most basic notion of each concept, and then used my tools as a graphic designer to re-present the idea. Johnson’s 350-page book turned into a 750-page tome.
