D 171. SURFACE vs DEPTH



A conceptual book with defined parameters and limitations. Topic of choice is expressed strongly with typography and minimal colors. Surface vs Depth can be either one or both and embraces the light and the dark. One cannot exist without the other.¶ Justified type is neutral and was selected to represent “all things being equal” until we make that one pivotal decision that either elevates, remains the same or directs the momentum downward. Most beings have defined choices based on the outcome, overlooking the process entirely. This book focused on the path taken after the decision and is then highlighted throughout.¶ A constant web that connects us to experiences, words and memory. The only breaking points are the time of reflection and looking outward through windows that aren’t bias and therefore take up the entire spread. Cross paths with different versions of yourself and continue knowing you don’t have to define and resolve in order to find your strengths upon the surface and in the depths.

Limited to the usage of three colors, the focus of the beginning stages explore a visual duality with color and imagery. Extreme differences were envisioned that relied on one another for contrast and layout while also introducing a sense of balance as a relationship.

D 380. SPIRIT AIR



Claiming itself to be the “most consumer-friendly airline” won’t change public opinion regarding this discount carrier. Currently rated at 2-stars, Spirit Airline headlines as the top U.S. Carrier To Make List Of World’s Worst. ¶ I selected this airline for a brand and reputation makeover after reading such headlines, numerous complaints and their ongoing controversial advertisement campaigns. Their marketing ploy that focuses on negative current events by turning them into slogans was an ultimate fail and such a turn-off ¶ With a complete overhaul, Spirit Air can now announce “We’ve Changed Our Colors” and prove it with guidelines and a new look. The color scheme and re-designed logo mark is inspired by the rising of the sun and taking flight soaring into the blue.

D 538. HARMONIC FREQUENCIES



Crystals have a natural frequency, as do humans and when the two are combined, an entirely new frequency is generated - - a new language perhaps. This experimental conference topic takes it a few steps further by altering these components and using the language to regenerate the earth. ¶ Harmonic ratios and variations that balance nature and humanity with technology. If vibrations stabilize our energy patterns and bring our body back into a state of balance and crystal-like proteins take in energies and transform them into a biologically active signal, then let’s explore and discuss a universal language of frequency patterns that are influenced by all of creation.

D 607. PAIR APPS



The creation of an iphone app that is designed to pair the compatibility of people with animals. Many times, more so than not, instant gratification and the cuteness factor become the determining aspects of what people hope is to be a life-long relationship with a furry friend. ¶ When important characteristics aren’t considered, the outcome is discouraging and can even be traumatic. Pet Pair aims to resolve, fill in the blanks and ask the right questions. ¶ Future animal owners are encouraged to reflect on their lifestyle, consider personality traits, options for going about adding a new animal to their home and then recognize how other key elements contribute to building a positive experience.

D 726. M8 [meyt] BIRDHOUSE



Inspired by the number 8, pairs and it’s significance within Feng Shui perimeters - - This birdhouse project is based on a fictional gallery that draws it’s strengths through awareness within the community and towards the environment. Selected artists who are committed to designing high-end pieces auction off their works which are geared towards a Feng Shui lifestyle. ¶ Hands on crafting is displayed encouraging harmony within the designated spaces and embraces movement of Qi energy at a balanced pace among the five elements. Each artist commissioned creates subtle variations of a specific piece that is available for purchasing by the public and will showcase for two months. ¶ Within that time frame, the majority of proceeds are then donated to a charity of the artists choice. The rotation is over a 12 month calendar period and gives the artists an opportunity for donating towards 24 individual charities while also bringing in a new approach to artistry. The gallery loft itself is sectioned off into 8 parts/sectors and focuses on the Feng Shui properties of coordinates, color, shape and size. The birdhouse design caters specifically to love birds and brings luck and balance to what or whomever may choose to be in a paired setting. Hence, the name M8 [Meyt].

The final two models were then constructed digitally and measured out in 3 dimensions to better understand questions of durability and materials. In selecting, it was important to build on fluid shapes in certain directions that allow energy to expand from a stable foundation.

D 302. NASA INITIATIVE



NASA’s overall message conveys the importance and impact of cycles and the relationship between existence and evolution. The agency carries out its work in specific mission directorates: aeronautics, exploration systems, science and space operations. All of which enhance technology, provide information, answer the unknown questions and embrace humanity. ¶ NASA has paired up with many investors and companies wanting to make a global difference. (CSR) Corporate Social Responsibility is compiled of joint aspirations looking towards the future to insure high quality survival.  ¶ My goal is to harness the importance of NASA and relay exposure to people in a summarized, influential manner. In order to obtain a well rounded CSR, I have created 6 focal points. These points have intentionally been the target for breaking down information involving this project and are used to show the impact in space and on earth. Together, proving the necessary duality with what we don’t see and what is right in front of us. ¶ By assessing how we absorb information, evaluate the big picture, apply knowledge and pay it forward we can then ensure social and environmental responsibility and learn from behavioral patterns.
