DEAD MEN WALK

DEAD MEN WALK is a personal project and small brand created and curated by me. Throughout these pieces, I directed my friends on various poses and attitudes I wanted to showcase to advertise the brand with clarity, artfulness, and authenticity. I also directed and edited the short promotional videos, carefully choosing songs from lesser-known artists that represented the counter-culture aesthetic of the brand. I also commissioned the felt art piece from an artist I met through Instagram, articulately sketching exactly what I wanted and giving specific guidelines for colors.

Photos were taken by Cal Majkowski, Zach Steiner, and myself. Original photo of felt art piece taken by Ellie Burns. Clay assets were created by me. All digital assets for this brand were created and/or edited in Photoshop and Photoshop Express. Videos were edited on Premiere Pro.

KINETIC TYPE

(SCHOOL PROJECT)

This project was intended to be a type dominant piece that would effectively represent a piece of audio that be 45 seconds to a minute long. I chose to use MF DOOM’s Gas Drawls because of it’s animated lyrical subject matter and it’s forward moving boom bap beat.

The process for this project began by printing the lyrics to the song for the professors review and once it was accepted we then created moodboards that contained use of color, typography, and texture. We then created a storyboard for the entire project as it pertained to the movement of the type we intended to use.

Moodboards were laid out in InDesign, assets were edited in Photoshop and vectorized in Illustrator, and all animation was created using After Effects.

COMMUNICATION DESIGN MIAD ART PROJECT

This project was an extra curricular project that I had wanted to create for fun towards the end of the Fall 2024 semester. It is a collage of various pieces made from my friends and I in between working on projects for school. I wanted to showcase the talent of my friends and their diverse perspectives, interests, and humor outside of our direct major by allowing them to create freely. The assets for this project were entirely made of PlayDoh and were photographed, edited, and collaged by me.

The process began with me asking the other Juniors of 2024-2025 as well as a few Seniors within the Communication Design Department at MIAD to see if anyone would be interested in making things recreationally for a collage. I then brung a bunch of PlayDoh to school the next day and told everyone to make anything they wanted to as long as it wasn’t a piece from a preexisting IP. This project was not thoroughly planned, rather an organic idea that was executed soon after it’s conception.

All graphical elements were created by my colleagues and myself physically, images were edited in and collaged Photoshop.
