BiggsDuring my second semester of the foundation year, I created a typographical poster styled around a quotefrom a well known designer. I chose the quote Typographical Wisdom by designer John R. Biggs.
To create the poster study, I found that Biggs often took one word and scaled it down the page in a repetitive way. I thought that style of design was interesting and eye catching, so I implemented that into my design.
I started with a solid red poster that degraded in opacity as it went down, then moved to a new iteration where I experiemented with pastels, including the color blue. I decided to try to fit these colors together to create a visually appealing and contrasting composition.

BIGGSA love of letters is the begin-ning of ty-pographical wisdom. That is, the love of let-ters as liter-ature and the love of letters as physi-cal enti-ties, having abstract beauty of their own, apart from the ideas they may express.
John R. B i g g s , educator, designer, and illustrator,was head of the University of Brighton’s graphic design department from 1951 to 1974. Biggs was not only a skilled designer, but also an author, penning more than twenty books on every aspect of the crafts of illustration, lettering, typography, and calligraphy.
As a young student, Biggs studied at the Derby School of Art from 1929 to 1931 and developed an acute interest in printing. From there, he went on to continue his studies at the Central School of Art and Design until 1933.

He came to produce many achievements in his time, such as self-authoring, illustrating, and printing Sinfin Songs and other Poems, which was published through his personal press, The Hampden Press. Soon after, he was awarded an important commission in 1938 for wood engraved illustrations that were created for the Penguin Illustrated Classic edition of Daniel Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe.
Biggs was not only noticed for his illustrations, but also for his work ethic at prestigious companies such as Orient Line and SCM Press. His work was considered successful and innovative as it made patrons, students, and admirers of design think outside the box when it came to the creative process.

Kinetic TypeWorking with Adobe After Effects, I tried my hand at creating a kinetic typography project using audio from a well known viral news story about a woman’s first hand account of her apartment building catching fire.
Sweet Brown, best known for her line “Ain’t nobody got time for that!” gave a count by count description to news reporters when she found out her apartment building was on fire.
Using different graphic elements as well as using emphasis on certain words to drive across the emotion of the situation, I was able to create a kinetic typography project to help animate Sweet Brown’s testimony.

The WeekndAbel Tesfaye, known by his stage name The Weeknd, is a Canadian Alternative R&B recording artist. For this project, I took inspiration from his experimental sound to redesign the album cover art for his second album, Thursday.
Using acrylic paint and a basic white sheet, I painted continuous stripes across the sheet and my model. I then took a photo and turned it into a polaroid to give it the feel as though it was actually a photograph that was taken at a party, labeled “Thursday” below. Keeping with a trend of a black background with imagery on top, I experimented with outlining the imagery in black.

Mudras GuideAs a part of the University of Cincinnati’s Bollywood Fusion dance team, I have immersed myself into the different aspects of traditional Indian dance. One style of Indian dance that is very popular is the classical style of Bharatnatyam. Bharatnatyam is one of the most traditional forms of classical dance and is taught to young girls and boys for many years until they graduate in a ceremony called an Arangetram.
For this particular project, I decided I would share this beautiful and unique form of dance through an instructional guide that would educate its readers on the different forms of mudras, or symbolic hand gestures, and how they can be achieved. I photographed a model demonstrating the mudras and gathered information from an instructional guide titled, The Cosmic Dancer. Once I had photographs and information to match, I layed out my guide showing examples of single handed mudras and double handed mudras, with an introduction to Bharatnatyam at the beginning. I then bound my book in a hardback red casing to complete the look and feel of the guide.

EdgeEdge is a magazine geared toward woman between the ages of 18 to 25 that is all about fashion, beauty, and pop culture. To create Edge I first started with the design of its header. To be “edgy” is to be bold, bigger than yourself, and confident with who you are, therefore I chose a thick, bold typeface to compliment that. I cut the word in half, to show its edges, and placed it on its side on the cover of the magazine.
To keep the theme of edginess consistent throughout the magazine, I found ways to cut an image or slice through text. The print layouts I created were then redesigned to be able to apply to an iPad, both horizontally and vertically.

Sitting in the corner of a private room at a table tennis club that sprawls over 13,000 subterranean feet of New York City’s Flatiron District, Hailee Steinfeld surveys the scene, a grin on her face. “Well, that was fun!” she says, straightening herself out a little. Outside it’s wet and cold - the oppressive leaden gray of an Edgar Allan Poe story - but in here it feels like an exclusive bar, only one with hundreds of little orange balls all over the floor, all over the carefully curated midcentury furniture, and, until recently, flying in every direction as Steinfeld, her two publicists, and I engaged in a slightly awkward game of doubles, during which it quickly emerged that Steinfeld is about as good at table tennis as I am at the skeleton luge. But, no matter that she doesn’t know her pings from her pongs: The arbitrariness of the venue doesn’t seem to faze Steinfeld any more than the fact that she had been doing a photo shoot for the past 10 hours or that she only got three hours of sleep last night, because she was finishing the coming-of-age drama Ten Thousand Saints with Asa Butterfield and Emile Hirsch, wrapping at 4 a.m. Even though you can occasionally catch sight of her fatigue through her otherwise omnipresent peppiness, Steinfeld is thrilled to be having this conversation in the first place. It’s a relief to see that even now, with an impressive slate of films behind her and a slew in the works, that excitement is still there, flashing away brightly as ever, just as it was when I first met her, four years ago.
Back then, She was promoting True Grit, the Coen brothers film that would earn her an Academy Award nomination. In the time since, Steinfeld has appeared in a new adaptation of Romeo + Juliet. Back then, She was promoting True Grit, the Coen brothers film that would earn her an Academy Award nomination. In the time since, Steinfeld has appeared in a new adaptation of Romeo + Juliet as the ill-fated Capulet, the big-budget sci-fi adventure Ender’s Game, and the thriller 3 Days to Kill, with Kevin Costner. This April saw the release of Hateship Loveship, a charming indie in which she starred opposite Kristen Wiig and Guy Pearce; and this summer she can be seen in Begin Again, a film directed by John Carney, who also wrote and directed the runaway hit Once. Deep breath. Also coming up is The Homesman, a period drama set in the mid-1800s directed by and starring Tommy Lee Jones, with Hilary Swank and some woman named Meryl Streep; The Keeping Room, set during the Civil War; the action-comedy Barely Lethal with Samuel L. Jackson, Jessica Alba, and an extremely unfortunate title; and the aforementioned Ten Thousand Saints. In two days, she starts filming Term Life in Atlanta.
A DAY IN THE LIFE OF...
Steinfeld’s workload might make anyone not named Beyonce question their productivity, but the breadth and scope of the actress’s work speak to a combination of talent, ambition, and drive that does not come along very often. And while Steinfeld’s T-shirt is printed with one large word, OOPS, there is nothing accidental about any of this. Says McG, who personally sought her out of 3 Days to Kill; “I mean, listen, I know you get a lot of bullshit and a lot of fluff when you talk to people about other actors, but from the bottom of my heart; Hailee’s future is limitless. She has a good head on her shoulders, she’s capable of the dramatic, she knows where the funny, comedic turn exists; she’s a very special talent, and she’s making good choices. She’s not chasing any one particular breakout opportunity - she’s amassing a body of work that results in everybody coming out the other end saying, ‘Hailee is great.’ And when you do that you position yourself [to be]...I mean, I wouldn’t be as bold as to say Meryl Streep, but I can’t think of a candidate who could make such a run at it. [Steinfeld] does certain things now so fucking well that I can’t imagine her taking that expression of her art form any higher.”
Steinfeld was born in Thousand Oaks, California, to a personal trainer father and an interior designer mother (her brother, Griffin, is a NASCAR driver). Her introduction to acting as a potential career path: She saw her cousin on a TV commerical for dolls. “It was just something I thought I would never see - my family right in front of me doing something you think is impossible,” she says. “It was so surreal that watching her made me think: “If she can do it, why can’t I?” Her mother insisted on acting classes and took her into an agency called Coast to Coast, which signed her immediately to their print divison. Being a child model, she says, was fun - Steinfeld appeared in campaigns for Gap, Nike, Guess, and others - but it wasn’t enough, and she started auditioning for acting roles when she was about 10, landing a few parts in commericals and then a lead in the short She’s a Fox, which did the rounds on the festival circuit.
At first, neither Steinfeld nor her mom knew about the global search for the role of Mattie Ross in True Grit, but when her mom’s cousin, whose own daughter was too young to read for the role, told her about it, she started rehearsing, despite the fact that her agents were initially led to believe the part had been cast. Steinfeld educated herself over the Christmas break, on the off chance that she might be invited to audition when her agents’ office reopened. “And sure enough, I get a call from the casting director’s assistant,” says Steinfeld. “Two days later, the casting director. Two weeks later, Jeff Bridges and the Coen brothers.”

PhotographyAfter high school, I became very interested in developing my photography to more than just point and shoot pictures to document where I’ve been. I bought my first DSLR and soon went to work learning about ISO, depth of field, and proper exposure. I became interested in making solid compositions and would take my friends out around my hometown to practice.
Since then, I have traveled to various places, my DSLRin tow, and have joined a small photography business in Cincinnati that specializes in engagement, wedding, and events - MSTRCRZ Photography - as an assisting photographer and videographer.
My favorite compositions to create are portraits as I believe they can capture a lot about a person. I’m looking into getting edgier shots with a more artistic feel as I travel throughout the nation.
