Life

This past week, one of our assignments was to research a Graphic Designer or Illustrator. I chose to research Michael C. Place. He is a famous Graphic Designer. His most famous piece is "Symbolism". I also had to recreate on of his artworks, with my personal touch to it. I chose to recreate his "Symbolism".

I chose to do the word "Life" and within "Life" there are Chinese symbols that represent Life, such as wisdom, family, friends, happiness, courage, and many more. There are over 50 different symbols, and none of which are repeated throughout the word "Life". I had a wonderful time recreating this artwork and I really enjoyed the recreation. Made me think outside my box and be like a famous Graphic Designer. This is my recreation of Michael's artwork!!

The Start to it All!

This is the beginning of much to come! I am a Junior at UCM. I am a Graphic Design Major! I am very excited to get started on this journey. All my classes will help me better understand my major. I worked as a part-time Graphic Artist for over a year at a small print shop in Maplewood, MO. I learned so much there,  yet there is so much more I will have to learn, to better understand the Graphic Design career. Hope you Enjoy!!!
