Roma/Internet Map Book
description
The setup for this project was to interpret two historical events, a global and a personal one. The re-imagination of a teenager's blurred memory of Rome and the advent of the Internet and its digital era resulted in a double-sided map reproduction of a traditional map of Rome, contrasted against a digital version on the other side. A clash between the traditional and the digital, this project speaks about fragmentation between the reality of our experiences and the virtual reality that we live by in today's era. Typographical experimentation and medium interplay were used to enhance the double-map's philosophy.

Can design strengthen relationships? Can design aid in making people happier without selling them a product?

Local Heroes is a sample cookbook that I developed as a typographic exercise. I wanted to create something elegant and minimal, allowing the page and type to breathe.
Applied Arts
description
Our world is becoming increasingly urbanized and interconnected. YVR Airport served as a relevant backdrop for articles about global thinking, information overload, the ethical responsibilities of designers, and the possibilities of working together. The images taken, typographic selections, colors, rules, etc. are all abstractions of the content written within the articles. Images are placed to challenge our perceptions of space and to illustrate the scope of our current global situation. The content provided for me by Applied Arts spoke of the future.
