a squirrel is like Design?The definition of l i fe can also define design. Due to design ’s ubiquity, there are quite a few reproductions in the print processes. Design must also adapt and grow. In terms of design aesthetic, there must be homeo-stasis (or balance) and organization. The stimuli is us, the people that come in direct contact with the design piece. If there is no response to the design, it is not alive.

life = Design?

ObjectiveMake a company or organization practice sustainabil ity in numerous camps.

SolutionAcademy of Ar t University is a pioneering school for graphic design sustainability. Yet, the school itself is not, despite being in one of the most eco-friendly cities in the United States. Therefore, for this project, I studied biomimicry and decided to create a proposal for a graphic design building that is grown, not bui lt. I posed myself as a member of Terrform One, an organization from New York that special izes in grown buildings. The building would be a l iving tree structure to inspire future generations of design students.

the future Design builDingThis is a sketch of what the building may turn out to be. Since growing a building is a natural process, it is hard to predict just exactly how it wil l be in the end. With methods such as pleaching, it is possible to manipulate the tree to grow in curves to form the bases of the building structure. It wil l be solar powered and collect water from the roof. It wi l l have natural sunlight. Lastly, it wil l connect the design students with nature, with hopes of inspiring them to design more sustainably.

ObjectiveCreate a book that uses experimental type. Topic of our own choosing.

SolutionMy apar tment was covered in plants, and I l iked the idea of cleaner indoor air. Thus, I researched what plants made healthier, breathable air. I also discovered what other plants were helpful for and sought them out. This book is about growing or buying plants that can replace toxic, expensive, or not so environmentally household items. I created my own type through planting and growth.

ObjectiveResearch a topic the entire semester related to science and create a magazine.

SolutionBiology, Zoology, Herpetology, any science related to animals is my favorite. When I had to pick a science related topic for this project, I chose Marine Biology. I work in an education department at an aquarium and often teach children about plankton. I thought a magazine devoted to microscopic life was a worthwhile endeavor. I made this issue about plankton.

the reproDuctive cycle I of ten think of design methods in terms of biology. Creating a magazine is much like the reproductive cycle of a sea jelly. A nugget of a thought is much like a zygote stage, just waiting to grow. As time goes on, the idea grows up to be a planula larvae. Finally, it will stick onto something and begin to branch out into other possibilities in the Syphistoma phase. It matures into a company of ideas and possibil ities that can even create more of fspring for 20 years in the Strobila stage. Designs are created in the Ephyra phase and the large f loating plankton we know as sea jell ies is the magazine completely designed and printed. From this mature specimen, a nugget zygote will begin the process again.

�letter

The mission of this magazine is to celebrate micro organisms and the amazing scientifi c ability to see them. There is a whole new world in the nano life that is yet to be explored and admired. This fi rst issue is about plankton and the importance of their existence. Other issues yet to come will consist of bacteria, plant cells, and viruses.

The fi rst issue will come with a micro-scope box and each issue will consist of 3 slides per issue with actual slides of the specifi c topic involved. This issue has 3 slides of plankton for the reader to enjoy with their home microscopes for a better view and understanding of the subject matter.

Let the microscopic wonder take over.

Best wishes,

ObjectivePick a subject matter to study for about a month. Record data and design it in any medium of your choosing.

SolutionI contacted a local scientist by the name of Jennifer Krauel about bats that l ive in San Francisco, and her thesis gave me clues on how and where to conduct my own research. I chose a promising loca-tion and documented the bat behaviors I witnessed. After spending weeks bat watching, I wanted others to experience i t as well. As a result, I created a bat watching kit with a book, audio, video, shir t, bug spray, and a bag to put it all in.

what you neeD to researchBats are tricky creatures to view for your-self. They only come out in specif ic areas and feed at twilight. In order to see plenty of them in flight, you will have to deal with being completely surrounded by their food source: bugs! Since we do not want to be a bug ’s dinner, it is important to protect ourselves with bug sprays. However, it isequally impor tant that it is not harmful to the bats that wil l eat them. Here is an organic spray that is safe for us and bats!

ObjectivePick a topic and create a f inal book of your research and solutions.

SolutionDuring this time period, there were rumors that San Francisco city wil l make composting and recycl ing mandatory by law. Being eco-friendly myself, I was very happy to hear about this possibil ity. I decided to do more research on the topic and get other people ’s opinions. My views ended up shif ting from pro-law to anti-law. My final book shows alternative solu-tions to the waste problem.

gathering the main iDeas After a semester ’s worth of researching, experimenting, conducting discussions, and other var ious research methods, I f inal ly came up with three main camp ideas. They are: Education, Innovation, and Communication. I then put pieces of information I found most crucial in each can. It could be a quote from a discussion group, an inspiring photograph, or some important information on each topic.

SolutionI was devastated to f ind out that Zoo New England was considering shutting their doors due to lack of funding. It comprises of two zoos: Stone Zoo and Franklin Park Zoo, al l in the Boston area. There were rumors animals would be euthanisized if they were not transported to new homes. I wanted to find a way to ensure the safety of the animals and the zoos.

a live presentation Using my own pet tur tle that happens to be a local species to New England, I gave a presentation of this species as if I was a real zoo worker. I donned a name tag and the proper uniform for a reptile specialist. During my presenta-tion, I talked about the new changes occurring at the zoo I work at as well as information about Eastern Painted Turtles. Everyone was allow to touch the tur tle very gently and one special volunteer got to feed him some worms!

ObjectiveChoose a movie director to create a f ictional f i lm festival in his or her honor.

SolutionGuillermo Del Toro is an amazing movie direc-tor who has a fascination with monsters. More importantly, he is passionate about marine life and would have become a marine biologist if he was not making movies. This f i lm festival is about the celebration of monsters. In his f i lms, they are actually not evil despite their looks. They ’re misunderstood creatures much like sharks, bats, and snakes.

logo for the film festivalThe tit le of the f i lm festival is Dissection of Darkness: What makes a monster in the films of Guillermo Del Toro. I used dissec-tion tools as inspiration for the logo. The scissors became the tool of choice and morphed into a piece with dark charac-teristics of ambiguity. The f i lm festival is about literal and metaphorical dissections of Del Toro’s movies and his characters.

On the inside cover is the sched-ule in form of a library due date card, and the ticket is a l ibrary card with their name on it. It is a functioning library card so that festival goers can check out books during their visit. Besides showing all the films of Del Toro, there is also a dissection class and study session on monsters.

a closet barry manilow fanIn the movie Hellboy II, Abe Sapien listens to (and sings with Hellboy) the song: “Can’t Smile Without You” by Barry Manilow. Upon fur ther research, I found out that Guil lermo Del Toro is a closet Manilow Fan. Shown here is the soundtrack as a USB in a test tube. One half has instrumental music from the movies and the other half is all Barry Manilow songs. “Can’t Smile Without” lyrics are included so you can sing along with Abe Sapien and Hellboy!

ObjectiveChoose a design thesis topic. Create wellthought out, bri l l iant works of design.

SolutionI am passionate about plants and animals, as this por t fol io already suggests. My thesis goal was to design and document the facts surrounding endangered animals in order to educate people and encourage par ticipation in their preservation. The year 2010 was the year of the Little Brown Bat for my thesis organization since the bats are in critical condition from a fungus called White-Nose Syndrome.

Humanist

Rounded transitions between main strokes

The face is based upon humanist writing seen in the fifteenth cen-

tury manuscripts, as opposed to the black-letter hand that Guten-

berg used for the first printing with moveable type in the 1450s.

Humanist writing was rounder and broader, and was produced

with a broad-nibbed pen that helped give certain inflections…The

features that distinquish humanist faces from later romans are:

a sloping bar on the “e”, a marked inclination of stress backwards

to the left, and little contrast between thick and thin strokes.

—Lewis Blackwell, 20th Century Type

Dissection of typeWhen learning the basic elements of typography, I made it in terms that I could understand. My teacher of ten used the word “dissection” as a meta-phor in naming the various parts of a letter form. I took this meaning literally. The shapes of the “O’s” expose various parts of the frog guts.

Didone

Fine lines with short transitions

Here the contrast between thick and thin strokes is extreme;

lower-case serifs are horizontal and often unbracketed; the stress

is vertical. These characteristics were exemplified in the work of

Giambattista Bodoni (1740-1813) of Parma, who took the French

types of Fournier and the Didots and refined them to the char-

acteristics outlined above. Firmin Didot had produced the first

didone - hence the name for the group…Didot’s thin serifs and

abrupt contrasts involved hairline strokes that took advantage of

improved paper and printing to create a more elegant typography.

Transitional

Greater stroke thickness than Humanist

Transitional faces are so called because they have characters that

show the transition from the “old style” garalde to the “modern”

didone faces that first emerged in the late eighteenth century.

Transitional typefaces tend to be more upright than garaldes, with

either a vertical or only slightly inclined stress. They may also have

more contrast. Serifs may be bracketed and oblique as before, or

horizontal and tending towards the starkness of the didone serif.

earthquake safetyI am not a native to California so natural disasters l ike earthquakes were some-thing I had to familiarize myself with. In my f irst semester, I wanted to research the best methods of protection during such events. I recal led Ber t the Tur tle from 1950 ’s nuclear testing advertise-ments. He taught people to duck and cover. Similar to this idea, I too used a shelled animal, only this time a tortoise. The shell represents a helmet. The new message is “Cover and Hold On.”

the Definition of aliveThis is a series of experimental type defining what it means to be alive. I used the physical objects to i l lustrate the word “Al ive” whether it be plant pieces, bone, blood, or parts of an invertebrate. The definition of alive is vast and encompassing. At the end, I realized that l i fe was boiled down to molecules and cel ls.

thanks

acknowleDgementsLike any design process, it takes a team! Thank you to my teachers for pushing me into greatness even when I clawed my way. These teachers are: Mary Scott, Phil Hamlett, Jay Wilkinson, Bob Slote, Jenny Ji, Darrell Hayden, Hunter Wimmer, Arvi Raquel-Santos, Scott Rankin, and Michael Ki lgore. Thanks to my classmates for the moral support and helpful peer critiques. Thanks to my non-design friends who were sympathetic to my cause even without knowing what it is l ike to design. Thanks to my family for believing in me. Thanks to the scientists and animal specialists that educated me about the amazing animals. Lastly, I want to thank all the organisms, large or small, that inspire me everyday.
