Some spreads from my Graphic Design Tools project. We made a small-format magazine on a subculture of our choosing. My topic was Gyaru girls.

Second assignment for Graphic Design 1 class. The brief was to make an agitprop poster, and I chose to promote Prop 19 (marijuana legalization) from an angle that would appeal to voters who dislike marijuana. I want to show the social and economical benefits of Prop 19, because I am personally not inclined to promote drug use.
Third and last personal logo for GD1.
The last logo had to show the meaning of my name. I went with my middle name, Olivier, which is the original french version of Oliver. Originally from the nordic name, Áleifr, meaning “elf-host” or “elf-army,” the spelling was later changed to associate it with the latin word oliva, meaning “olive tree.”
Second out of three personal logos for a GD1 project.
For this one, we had to create a monogram using our initials. I went with a bitmap-y lowercase “kb.”
First out of three personal logos for a GD1 project.
The assignment for this one was to create an “idiosyncratic” logo. In other words, something that reflects an aspect of my personality. Those of you who know me know that I like to drink and go out a lot. I’m particularly fond of cocktails—represented here by the martini glass—and of electronic music—the sound waves.
A whole typeface designed on a minimalistic 3x5 grid for my Type 1 class. Some of the letters were quite hard to resolve, but I think I managed to come up with a pretty good solution considering the constraints imposed.
A logo I was asked to design by my Illustration teacher. For an alphabet book.
Illustration: Digital Media, 1st part of the 2nd project.
This is the first part of the project. We chose a work from before the year 1800, and had to re-create it in vector using Illustrator. I chose this piece of ancient Japanese art.
16” * 28” full-color print.
Part of a project for 3D class. Abstract ink drawing on trace paper.
A quick drawing exercise for my Illustration 1 class.
Illustration: Digital Media project 1.
The brief was to digitally create a recognizable portrait of someone famous composed of other images stitched and manipulated together. (Kind of like a collage.)
18.5” * 24.5” full-color print.
Drawing 1 final project. 20” * 30”
(Sorry about the terrible picture. iPhone camera sucks.)
Intro to Graphic Design final project.
The brief was to design a poster for an design exhibition. We were each assigned a well-known designer or artist and had to create a poster that would display his or her style, without using any photography or direct reference to his or her work.
Intro to Graphic Design project 4.
The brief was to design a book cover for a book which had been assigned to us. I personally am not too happy with the result of this project either.
