Experimental Typography Panel Design

For my experimental type class we had to design a 10X10 panel, I made two because I was torn between picking a favorite.

Experimental Typography.

This semester I'm taking experimental typography and experimenting with different mediums.

Religious Stereotypes Book.

This book I wrote and designed is on Religious Stereotypes. It teaches understanding and empathy through real statistics, religious scriptures and people; by showing the faces of people belonging to other religions, giving the reader an insight to the personal side of their lives so the reader can relate to that person and learn that religion should not be a barrier and that people no matter what their beliefs or religion are the same all over the world.
This book is one hundred and fifteen pages.

Visual Communications Lab-Project 4/Lens of Empathy.

The next project was to study ten personas, and imagine them discussing our topic and what their point of view on our topic would be. We had to choose from a whole list of school teachers, politicians, celebrities and trees. I decided to take my project a little step further by going back in time when the future politician was in high school, and what his view would have been, in addition to other personas.

Visual Communications Lab-Project 3/Map of inquiry.

Our next assignment was to write down a series of questions to try and get the ball going and have an info-graphic with that. The poster I designed has the four main religions of the world temples on the corners, and the middle part of it shows the percentage of people belonging to that particular religion across the world.

Visual Communications Lab-Project 2/Archetype study.

Our second assignment was to talk to a group of ten people. They had to be connected to the topic. My group consisted of a Jewish, Muslim, Catholic, Atheist, and orthodox people. The group were addressed with questions I had on the topic, but I had no input or intervention on what they were discussing. After that we were to take three most compelling ideas that came out from the discussion and implement them on an object that is topic related. I implemented them on mouth wash bottles, which represented "cleaning up" the mouth from judgmental remarks. I also played with the color of each, where it depends on the seriousness of the problem, the worse it is, the darker the color (the more concentrated the treatment was).

Visual Communications Lab-Project 1

For this class, we got to choose a topic at the beginning of the semester, and do different studies on the topic through different mediums and techniques. My topic was on Religious Stereotypes and how they affect individuals and the societies they live in. For this project, we had to create cards from any chosen medium and do a study on ten different imaginary personas/Target audience. I chose I.D. cards because I wanted something universal but at the same time personal.

Type Systems.

For my second semester at the Academy of Art, I had to pick any topic on survival, mine was Survival in the Wilderness How-to Cookbook. 95% of the photography is self generated. The inside pages of the book had a worn-out but not too shabby look. There are three chapters: water, food, and fire, and you can see the page edges in each chapter are either wrinkled, have food crumbs or burnt edges.
