Size: 6.75 x 9 in. Medium: Adobe Photoshop About: In response to the theme of how the COVID-19 pandemic affects all people, I chose to create a poster with a focus on how the crisis emphasized the already existing discrimination and racisms that people of Asian and Pacific Islander descent experience.

Size: 5 x 5 in. Medium: Adobe Illustrator About: Words hold deeper meanings apart from their basic letterforms. In this series I explored the ways the words themselves could literally embody their definitions while maintaining enough type information to be read as the words still. I chose three different sets of opposing words (truth and lies, safe and dangerous, silence and noise) that stood out to me because of the ambiguous nature of their meanings. For example, what about truth makes the word truth mean what it means while differing from what the word lies could mean? After a lengthy process of sketches, I finalized my designs in Illustrator to emphasize the many nuances of each word, relying on aspects such as contrast, overlap, and weight in the typographic forms.

Size: 10 x 10 in. Medium: Adobe Photoshop About: I enjoy analyzing different classifications of type because of their potential to be broken down into distinct individual pieces. Through this process on my initial letterforms 'C' and 'M,' I reinterpreted serif and display type into thumbnail sketches representing my own visual vocabulary. My final Photoshop design relies on subverting whitespace, contrasting line weight and style, and the thoughtful omitting of detail to simplify my initials into a form inspired by a crescent moon rising behind dark mountain tops.
