Rat Piper's Rats
This is a digital version that I edited after I actually painted the work on paper full size and having a class critique. The painted paper version was around 60 X 42 inches.

Computers for Design: Logo and Brochure
You will design a logo, a tri-fold brochure, and a business card for a fictitious fortune 500-type company based on the name and three attributes of a classmate. Much like our very first logo assignment, you need to be creative in how you figure your classmate’s name and attributes into your project.

Graphic Design: BYOB Competition
Design a reusable shopping bag. The theme of the design is nutrition.
Proper nourishment is a basic human need. This need, so intrinsic to the health and happiness of every person, is central to many social issues. Hunger, obesity, eating disorders, organic food, and local farming are just a few related topics. In the process of providing oneself with nutrition, a consumer makes many decisions not only about what to purchase, but also what to carry it home in. Paper, plastic or reusable? Like a T-shirt or poster, a canvas bag can be a means of self-expression. This competition seeks to give students the opportunity to craft a message that brings attention to the general theme of nutrition using reusable grocery bags as the vehicle. Think of the bag as a walking advertisement that moves with its carrier to many destinations and use this opportunity to make a far-reaching visual statement.

Graphic Design: Indesign Grid Jeremy Holmes
He's cool in that eerie yet cute and funny kinda way. :)
Graphic Design: Competition: Furoshiki
Furoshiki, or wrapping cloths, are stylish and distinctive everyday items emblematic of the Japanese tradition of wrapping things. Since they are reusable and therefore do not impose a burden on the environment, furoshiki have attracted renewed interest in recent years, both in Japan and elsewhere. The design of the furoshiki (for US participants) should evoke a fusion of the United States and Japan.
My inspiration was cowboys and ninjas, specifically how the spur of a cowboy boot is similar to a ninja shuriken/throwing star. But for a modern feel I took these elements and various patterns from both Japanese prints and the designs on the cowboy boot and combined them as follows.
This smaller was a beginning idea that I used to gather ideas and and had continued with other ideas I liked better like the one above. But this one is still pretty hehe.
