These are my type explorations playing with materials that form alphabets in collage, drawing, vector, and even glue that creates structure and movement. This is an a fun exercise to understand the principles of type in the most exciting way. Then the fold out pamphlet creates dimension and texture from how the type is treated and understanding legibility.
This is a conceptual Film Festival Poster that themes in Hopeless Romantics. The Film Festival would showcase movies that includes theater and music that involves the running theme of not accomplishing their dreams. I chose a rose to symbolize romanticism and teeth to symbolize a voice that sings for it's feelings being heard. The image making is collaged with detailed Illustrations. Also, the type is Illustrated as well. This poster and title was influenced by Matmos in "Roses has teeth in a mouth of a beast". Then I created an abstratct animation short as a Film Festical set.

This is my senior project titled "Juntos" meaning "together". This project was based on my life
growing up having a bicultural identity. I grew up in a traditional Mexican household but also, living
in an American environment. There was a self identity crises of not fitting in both sides of the spectrum. Also, the traditional Mexican society didn't accept me for who I am for not speaking spanish fluently. I've realized growing up that there are many of my peers had gone through the same journey as I did. However it was not just the language they were discriminated against. It was the color of their hair, their skin, their eyes and their action. American and Mexican society discriminated us for not fitting into these stereotypes and I want to inform others to not only accept who we are but also accept ourselves.
I've created the Mexican American Flag that was design influenced by Maya textiles and Mexican talaveras. The statement describes what it means to be Mexican American and designed intentionally in spanglish for the viewers to understand that there is a language barrier. This statement was said by one of my interviewers. The "juntos" banner was designed only with type that was treated as a pattern and is consisted with information of experiences from my interviewers. The "Accept Our Differences" scarf is all based on type with image voicing to accept who they are and stop discrimination. The model is dressed in a traditional Oaxacan skirt and showcasing how the scarf is sculpted on her shoulders and it consists back and front designs. Below is a video that introduces interviewers showcasing their differences in terms of appearance and characters. also, standing against the stereotypes by smiling what was said to them from the past. They learned and accepted who they are as individuals.
