Goddard Lecture Series Poster

Click to zoom.

This is a poster design of a made up lecture sponsored by Eastern Michigan Univeristy's School of Architecture. It is to capture “...the experimental nature of architecture” in which I have used an abstract creation of a wireframe, representing a map of what could one day possibly become a building. I have also used wireframing throughout some of the type to unify the piece.

Canton, MI

This was a poster design project to represent a community that we are familiar of. I have chosen my hometown of Canton, MI. To represent it, I have placed cornfields to show how it used to be farmland and then minivans and houses are falling from the sky to show just how quickly the area grew in the 20 years I have lived there.
