I’ll be honest, I pretty much
had no idea what I was doing
going into this and to be hon-
est I still have no idea what
I’m doing now.
My mentality this semester
has been to throw things
at the wall and see what
sticks. That being said I have
a diverse body of work for
this class ranging from actual
icons to animated gifs to
carving pumpkin seeds.











This was an experiment and
challenge. I wanted to see how
many symbols I could make only
using one shape, then see how
recognizable they were in black
and white versus color. Done
with triangles and circles.







I stuck with this project the
longest. These began as icons
to represent different states
of the brain but they ended
up as illustrations. I also redid
it completely at one point.
