I love their spirituality, their culture, their connection to the nature.
this is my sketch of idea of the Jersey Shirt:)
Art inspired by my Mother.
Every spring, my mom would prepare her garden for the arrival of her beloved mariflower. She’d spend hours meticulously tending to the soil, making sure it was rich and fertile, ready to nurture the delicate blooms. As soon as the weather warmed, she’d plant the seeds with a careful hand. I was helping her as well.
Throughout the summer, my mom’s garden became a vibrant oasis, with the mariflower stealing the show. It was as if each bloom held a piece of her heart, each petal a testament to her love for gardening and nature.
I remember spending countless afternoons with her in the garden, surrounded by the beauty of the mariflower. I never understood her love to those flowers but i felt like the colors were so warm and happy. We’d sit together, admiring the blooms and chatting about everything under the sun. It was in those moments that I truly understood the joy and peace that gardening brought to her.
I dedicated this Concept of designing staircase to her and the memories we had together.
Welcome aboard Duke’s Seafood on Wheels, where the taste of the ocean meets the convenience of the street! Inspired by the rich heritage of Duke’s Seafood Restaurant, our food truck embodies the essence of coastal dining with a vibrant and nostalgic design.
I chose Dukes seafood, because I love dishes the cook in West Seattle location and I love seafood.
I chose blue and red vintage color palette in a design of the food truck, as well as a chess board pattern. I was inspired by a original Duke’s Seafood logo which has modern stile and illustration of the fish with the cup placed on a chessboard pattern stripe. I wanted to incorporate that pattern and achieve a vintage nostalgic feeling in my design.
I am imagining the Duke’s Seafood Truck will sell freshly caught seafood delights such as lobster roll, fried shrimps.
I places fun illustrations of the sea world on my truck which will give a feeling of a freshness of the food we will sell. I found amazing illustrations of crab, fish and shrimps as well as a beautiful bubbles and oysters. I chose the San serif typeface for my tag line, to repeat the style of the Logo.
This project was very fun and gave all the students in the classroom who was working on the project while I was doing it lots of enjoyment of creating something interesting. Cutting of the truck and actually trying to do mockup was fun as well.
Thank you:)
Video collaboration.
My experience with my group making project. My group was Mavis Yao and Oliver Dean Mavis is a graphic design student in my class. She is super talented and full of ideas as a graphic designer. I wanted to work with her on some projects because she has a unique vision on projects and her illustrations are amazing and have a unique style. Oliver is a Visual Media Student. I did not work with Oliver on any project before. He helped my team in Winter Quarter with editing a video, placing our design on a can of Kombucha in the video. We used the video on our website. When we picked up our stickers we were not sure what we should do and what to expect. Our stickers were: Phrase: “Not in the restaurant!”, Milwaukee Chainsaw, Wayne from Wayne’s World. We were very confused about what we were going to do for this project, because neither of us saw the movie Wayne’s World, or knew anything about this character. So we agreed to spend the weekend watching the movies with Wayne, feel the character and then come up with the idea. After watching the movie Wayne’s world, a very light, funny romantic Comedy, it was clear that we need to build something based on a love story. So our team came up with the idea of doing an interaction between Wayne and a potential date, a love story. Since the character is goofy and funny and does everything his own way we decided to make a story which will be funny as well. So we came up with idea the date in the restaurant with funny detail, and incorporate our prop Chainsaw and the phrase “ not in this restaurant”
Mavis did amazing sketches of our frame shots. Me and Mavis did a visual mood board of the 80s Style. I wrote the script for the commercial and played the women character in the commercial.
Our shoot took around 4 hours. We were happy with our photage. Oliver did an amazing editing on the video.
With my and Mavis Art Directions together with Oliver we finished the editing, and re recorded the voice over to match the frames.
I feel like our project was super successful as well as working as a team. We all had fun.
Thank you.
