Summer Courses Screen Ad

February 27, 2018 By Jaclyn Alford

To correspond with the summer online postcard, an ad for 2018 summer online courses will be shown on screens around campus (i.e. Union, SAC, etc.). The design is complementary to the postcard with the same paper collage style, beach scene, and mixture of warm and cool tones.

Below are the first drafts of the design.

And here is the finalized design:

GOV310L Digital Wall Monitor

February 20, 2018 By Jaclyn Alford

Using an array of symbolic and historical images, the wall monitor monitor design will be a collage. Other course monitor designs have featured just rectangular grids, so Suloni suggested the use of alternative shapes. Here are the first drafts that take on the appearance of a mosaic.

For the next draft, I want to include round shapes instead of polygons.

Summer Courses Online Postcard

February 20, 2018 By Jaclyn Alford

I am currently working on a follow-up for the winter summer courses online postcard. Using the style of the same paper collage style, the scene now will just be summer themed. Below is the first draft of the beach design.

 

Additionally, I am going to develop a garden scene with the laptop in a hammock as well. I believe lots of greens would be visually appealing, and the added hammock would be playful.

First round edits:

  

Round 2 edits:

 

And here is the finalized design:

RUS 407 Illustration–Kittens & Piano

February 6, 2018 By Jaclyn Alford

For the latest scene I worked on, I got to draw kittens! Utilizing/altering the background from another scene, I added the characters, kittens, and box.

 

Also, I added color and supplemental elements to an illustration Stephanie created as shown here:

The American Ingredient Logo

January 23, 2018 By Jaclyn Alford

This week I was assigned to create a logo for the American Ingredient podcast. It needed to be black & white and the client had in mind “a white bowl in the shape of the U.S. … Above the bowl would be two spoons with filled something that looked like brown sugar.” After brainstorming a bit, I thought the best way to get the U.S. shape was to create a broken bowl. Here are the initial drafts:

 

 

And finals:

If the project was’t constrained to the black & white color scheme, I think a vintage cookbook cover design could be really cool/clever.

Summer Online Courses Postcard

December 13, 2017 By Jaclyn Alford

For this summer online courses postcard, they wanted the design to include summer elements and be collage-esque. To achieve this effect, I used clipping masks with paper textures and varying opacity. Additionally, drop shadows helped with the “cut and paste” style of the design as well. Below are design drafts.
