About Me
My name is Lawrence Bivens and I have been in the process of changing my career path from Electrical Sign Designer/Installer to Graphic and Web Designer. I attended California State University of Los Angeles (CSULA) for Computer Information Systems and was required to take a class for Web Design. This was necessary for my major and degree. While taking this class I realized that Web Design is similar to designing and installing electrical signs. They both combine art and technology to communicate ideas to a particular audience. For years, I have been helping business owners and managers with their signage needs for their businesses. I have enjoyed the design process in the creation of signage but the physical part of installing them have become tiresome. So, I decided to take more classes to learn more about Web Design and Visual Communications. I have created websites using Wordpress and Joomla both Content Management Systems (CMS). I am just finishing a website at http://www.elysiumz.com, I used Wordpress for that site. My porfolio website located at http://lbivensgraphicdesigns.com I used the Content Management System known as Joomla. I am now attending Santa Monica College (SMC), I have enrolled in a couple of classes that teaches PHP, which is a server-side scripting language designed for web development and a Social Media applications class.

Cai Gua-Qiang the son of a historian and painter, Cai was trained in stage design at the Shanghai Drama Insti-tute from 1981 to 1985 and his work has, since the outset, been scholarly and often politically charged. Having ac-complished himself across a variety of media, Cai initially began working with gunpowder to foster spontaneity and confront the suppression that he felt from the controlled artistic tradition and social climate in China at the time.
While living in Japan from 1986 to 1995, Cai explored the properties of gunpowder in his drawings, an inquiry that eventually led to his experimenta-tion with explosives on a massive scale, and the development of his signature explosion events, exemplified in his se-ries, Projects for Extraterrestrials. These explosion projects, both wildly poetic and ambitious at their core, aim to estab-lish an exchange between viewers and the larger universe around them.

Volunteers are needed for Tour guides (docents). Docents lead visitors on guided tours through and around the railroad equipment, helping the public better understand the history and signi� cance of the artifacts.
Volunteers are also needed to read to pre-school children in Holden’s Corne in our educational outreach program.
Restoration volunteers can also help us build track, repair and maintain engines, and restore other equipment at the museum.

Annenberg Media Brochure
This project was to design a 2-page double sided brochurefor a instructional media series for Annenberbg Media.
This project was to design a billboard to show the impact to wildlife and the environment from oil spills.
This project was for me to develop a 2-page double-sided brochure for an instructional media series about the Aztec Indians. I will explain some of the design process of this project. Above are some of the images that I had to acquire to set the tone of the Aztec culture for this brochure.
I started with the background of the sunbecause the sun played an important partin the Aztec culture.
I had to remove this image background to get the desired look, I wanted for the image on the next page.
These images background, I will also removed so I could achieve the desired effect that I wanted. In the picture at the bottom right I will remove everything in the picture but the tall Aztec Indian with the shield.
The above pictures are the result of me removing unwanted parts of the pictures. Now I will place these images in picture on the next page.
Now that I placed the images in the pictures I now have to use the right typography that corresponds with the images.
