Order_Kiosk-Sandy's




These two images are a part of our recent Order Kiosk project completed for Interaction Design. The project was to create a hypothetical design for an Order Kiosk at Sandy's Restaurant located on Barton Springs road here in Austin Texas. The Project Forced me to think in terms of functionality and user-ability. Working in a group of four, I was able to collaborate in the design process in order to produce a working prototype that is aesthetically pleasing and very functional.

Capital Metro Redesign

This project was a departure from the format of any previous project. We were given the opportunity to choose the medium of our project, which was to design some sort of advertisement for the Capital Metro Rail system in Austin, TX. We were even given the option of working in a group,which I did. My partner,Andrew Jackson, and I decided that the best way to represent Capital Metro Rail was to create an animated video that uses humor to appeal to a younger generation of Austinites. Unfortunately, the video is too large to embed into this site. Please click the link below to view the video.

Concept Map




This poster is the product of weeks of brainstorming and planning. My concept map is centered around the S.E.T.I. organization, a group that focusses all of its attention to finding and communicating with extra terrestrial life in the universe. Each term in the spiral on the concept map is placed according to its physical association to the S. E. T. I. organization. The map also incorporates connecting terms that help the viewer gain an understanding of how and why the S.E.T.I. organization operates.

Field Guide





This field guide was created for this semesters junior studio class. The project was to choose a group of interest and to create a field guide containing 15-20 subjects. I chose to document the plants of Barton Creek (The Green Belt).



Diagram


This diagram poster was created for last semester's history of graphic design class. In the class, we were given the option of choosing some form of design to be dissected in some way. I chose to create a diagram poster of the american spirit metal pack of cigarettes. The poster gives information as to the branding and design influences of the product.
