It was interesting to notice the difference between The Vignelli Canon and Brain Pickings article about Kidd and his book. Part of the reason Kidd created his book was probably because of literature such as The Vignelli Canon that uses bigger words and is more academic in nature. I felt like Kidd’s book and the article about it …

There is a quote commonly attributed to Einstein, though he never actually said it, that goes: “everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler”.

After reading about Chip Kidd, I’ve learned that design is a very mental thing, and I can completely understand why. His comparisons using a speed bump really got me to understand where he was coming from. If the road was flat and all there was was a sign to the right of the road saying […]

This is a reimagining of Malachi Gray. I stuck with the same theme of black, given the heat and energy retaining properties inherent in the color. Additionally I designed the character to be large, and physically intimidating due to his years working on an Astrobark farm, picking up large and heavy sheets of Astrobark. The … Continue reading Kai Reimagined

This is a picture of my character’s, Malachi Gray, typical outfit in an ordinary day. Typically everyone on his planet wears black out of necessity due to the temperatures on the world generally being cool, and black absorbs more heat for their body. The jacket is abrasion resistant for working in the Astrobark fields, as … Continue reading Black and Steel

Moon Graffiti was a great audio piece. The way the audio was put together made me feel as though I was with Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin while they were on their journey.
