Decorating Boring Annual Reports

    I chose to redecorate the annual report of an organization that specializes in disabilities and neurodivergent people. I feel like a lot of people don't know enough about Autism and Asperger's Syndrome. It's fascinating and disturbing how some cultures revere and others demonize these individuals. I am lucky to have been born in Canada where all energy and walks of life are respected but there are still groups of people that are clueless and fearful. I hope there is a world in the future that accepts and lets the neurodivergent be themselves. Where no one is afraid of them. Where no one's mindset shifts negatively just because someone is different. Where they are not automatically targeted for abuse. 

I highly respect foundations like St. Amant and Asperger Manitoba so I tried to bling out their boring pdf with some artsy vectors. Captivating illustrations make reading long paragraphs fun and then the information that it holds is more easily digested. 

Threadless Shirt Newsletter Project

    For this project I had to build a newsletter showcasing T-Shirts for the website Threadless.com I chose to highlight clothing with a camping theme. I love the Threadless company very much and their shirts always have very fun and interesting designs. I also love camping and I could not resist digitally drawing camping scenes to spotlight their products. Who knows, maybe in the future I will design things for them.

Wonder Wandering with Words

    For this project I wandered around the city of Winnipeg to find the best spots where graffiti laid. Winnipeg has a ton of awesome street art all over the place. Graffiti art and murals and other types of art styles on buildings....and even on trains! I took a lot of photos and picked the best ones to put in a little book with my poetry. I also vectorized my paintings and put them behind the text of my poetry. If you love city art photography and poems check out my pics below:

Lucky's Supermarket Flyer Project

    I didn't know much about the Lucky Supermarket store so I asked my friend to drive us to it. I walked around the Asian supermarket to get a feel for the type of things they sell, which are mostly food items. I also looked around to see if the store was decorated. I loved the packaged dumplings I found and the Mochi ice cream. I also thought the Terracotta soldiers on top of the grocery aisle, near the front door were unique and interesting and thus I decided to incorporate a soldier couple in my flyer project. 

    I don't really like the color pink but prefer peach instead. Red and peach compliment each other well and it added a good color palette to the flyer for Mother's Day. If you want to see what else I added to the flyer then please look at the picture. The layout design is my own original concept and the food photos were found on Google for this assignment. 

A Blog Entry about my Journal Page HW Design

    Writing about me was actually pretty hard. Why do I love Art and Design? I don't know. I've just always been in love with colors and aesthetics. I've been drawing since I was a toddler and I just never stopped. My art style has changed a lot in all these years, and I've started using different art tools. I have a heart for art. God made me this way. If you want to know what my long response to the assignment question is then take a look at the pictures below these sentences. Click the pictures and then zoom in. I designed the look of the journal pages and the last illustration is one of my cartoon art pieces that I vectorized.
