Presentation Poster


To create an eye-catching and topically relevant poster for my research paper presentation, I decided to use one of the Bauhaus’ most recognizable and well-known pieces as the basis for my design. I replaced the Bauhaus face logo with the Nazi swastika to bring in the concept of the similarities between the two ideologies. I knew that, especially to those who knew the original Bauhaus piece, this would make the poster even more impactful and visually intriguing. I also changed the colour scheme of the original piece to further reflect the colours of the Nazi regime, linking the Bauhaus and the Nazis together.

MANIFESTO~

Graphic design is more than shapes and letters on paper; it is the complex job of taking data of any kind - from business plans to words of wisdom - and representing them physically and visually. It is my job as a designer to take the vision, the dreams and the ideas of others and translate them into an effective and efficient visual. Whether it be a magazine or a wedding invitation, I'm here to do the best work I possibly can, regardless of circumstance. As a human being, I'm here to support and communicate concepts, movements and dreams that better the world. To run from opportunities to promote hate, greed and selfishness, even if it means a week with no milk in the fridge. To help share words of encouragement, fight for the wellbeing of others and do my best to make the world a better place through my skills and talents.

ICONS! Star Wars Edition


I made some Star Wars icons! R2-D2, a lightsaber and a feisty Ewok wielding a spear.
Simple, a-la Swiss International Style symbols. Woo!
