Next week is my last week working at UMBC, and it’s a little bittersweet. I graduated in May, and have spent the last 9 months working on all sorts of design projects for the the student union building (“The Commons”) and it’s finally coming to a close. This is a sneak peek of next week’s “Events on Campus” poster. I am not personally responsible for these weekly poster designs, but by a fluke it fell into my lap today, and so I’ve done a bit of a farewell poster, using sketches (and student photos) from a dozen or so projects done between 2008-2010. I’ll post the finished piece when it’s hanging and I can photograph it! On to bigger and better things, I hope! And, if you know anyone looking for a full-time designer, let me know! ;)

UMBC Student Events Board guitar picks, Fall 2008 There are lots of bits and pieces of work I’ve never really photographed and I hope to change that over the next few months. I want to really collect all of my work and have some sort of a cohesive collection.

Today, UMBC’s campus portal site, myUMBC, relaunched it’s Events section with a slew of great new features, courtesy of UMBC’s Division of Information Technology. The new design also features a number of my photos of campus life, some of which can be viewed in this tutorial video they’ve created.

UMBC Art Week 2010 Treatment (via adamjk) Final version for use. I adjusted the alignment to match Jenna Ullrich’s revision to the logo, tried to get more gold strands visible (and made sure they looked more gold than yellow) through the cut-out, and generally shot a cleaner photo for a more polished feel. I still like the rough version, but this is more appropriate for the print materials it will ultimately be used on.

For Art Week 2010 at UMBC, Co-chairs Jenna Ullrich and Tazuko Sugajima have opted to do a complete series of “artist interpretations” of the logo that Jenna and I collaborated on last year. There are handdrawn patterns, puffy paint, sequins, tiny headless people, and more. I am considering different textures to photograph through a stencil I’ve cut, and taking quick snapshots on my cellphone. This one shows a black and gold pom-pom from a UMBC Retrievers basketball game.
