I love playing and experimenting with type! Here are a couple examples of some of the hand-drawn typography exercises I've been doing recently. 

Be sure to check out this silent-movie inspired experimental type project I created last year, which include motion graphics and scale-model architectural type inspired by the movie "Metropolis".

This assignment is to produce a contemporary interpretation of a wood type poster. It is not required to look historical but exciting,strong,dynamic,explosive,eye-catching. Also, it should be a thoughtful,intelligent,appropriate expression of the text that it contains.

For this assignment, I collected various hiring advertisements from different sources and use different typefaces to express the contents.Each of the ads has its own hirachy and focus, like a little story on its own. Then I organize all these ads in certain ways so that the poster is unified.

Poster Size: 17" x 50"

As part of a class in typographic systems, we were challenged to create a concept commemorative stamp system for Canada Post. Choosing Marian Bantjes was a reflection of my interest in her work. We were instructed to reference both the process and work of the artist/designer we were commemorating. With Bantjes, it became clear that it would be too superficial to work from her calligraphic works. I looked deeper into her book, and attending her talk at Emily Carr University. In the end I decided to focus on her love of patterns, codes and structure. I created a pattern from the manipulated letterforms of her name and created a stamp system based on this. I included a calligraphic reference in the international stamp.

"So stellar have Lauryn Hill's accomplishments been during her brief tenure as musical artist, one wonders what she can do to match all that's happened in her life so far."

Hiatus is a monograph on Hill's success and decade-long hiatus, with articles from various sources that documented her activities up-to-date. A flipbook.

This project was to design an Expressive Type poster based on a choice of song, utilizing 2 typefaces from different time periods.

The typefaces I used were Scala Sans and Mrs. Eaves, and song choice was 'Don't know why' by Norah Jones.

This project was carried out as part of an advanced typography class in 4th year. The project was to translate the lyrics of one song into a poster in its entirety. I chose Jon Bon Jovi 'Livin' on a Prayer.

This project was completed as part of a 2nd year level design project at Emily Carr. The project was to map out the history of graphic design in a novel way. This was a collaborative project with Nireesha Prakash and Kirsty Tsang.

As an in-class exercise, we were asked to design a typographic poster for the Alcuin Awards for Excellence in Book Design, hosted by Emily Carr University in October 2010. Inspired by the look and feel of traditional fabric book covers, I created a poster which reinforces the importance of the awards in a simple, yet elegant way.
