Current is Emily Carr University's academic journal with the intent of demystifying the design process. The journal is designed, edited, produced and marketed by undergraduates in communication design with article contributions from students in both the graduate and undergraduate programs, alumni and faculty. As an Art Director, I was in charge of the design and production of the second issue of Current, putting special emphasis on creating a visual language that was energetic and professional, reflecting the enthusiastic vision of the featured authors and Emily Carr's ongoing passion for design and its practice. I also photographed and designed the cover.

Swan Lake Booklet
images
description
This project was made as an exploration of expressive typography in the storytelling of a traditional folktale. Choosing Anthea Bell’s narrative of the clasical ballet play Swan Lake, I designed the pages of this booklet to echo the tone of the story in notes of romanticism, the delicate voices of the swans and the poetic nature of the play. The typefaces used for these expressions were Adobe Caslon, Scala Sans and Electra. Working within limitations such as no use of imagery/illustrations, the project represents a challenge to rely on typographic expression alone to convey action and emotion.

Cosmos
images
description
The purpose of this assignment was to explore typography using the dimensions of old woodtype posters. For the poster's content I chose a quote about Carl Sagan’s death by his wife, Ann Druyan. The message is about finding eachother in the cosmos, and appreciating how temporary that was. I chose to reflect the quietness of the quote by setting the type white
on white, ensuring the reader has to get close to the piece in order to
read the message.
