Bauhaus Complimentary Buttons: These are the hand-crafted buttons created in Adobe Illustrator and displayed below the Bauhaus Poster.  These buttons were to be given to individuals attending the exhibit for which the poster was advertising.  

Bauhaus Abstraction Poster: This poster was created in Graphic Design II and has been designed using the Adobe Illustrator program.  The purpose of this project was to advertise for an exhibit (Located at the Blanton Museum of Art) while maintaining a Bauhaus influence.  

Bauhaus Complimentary Buttons: These buttons were constructed in Adobe Illustrator and then crafted into actual buttons as a complimentary piece for my Bauhaus Abstraction Poster 

In this project, I designed a system of buttons marketed towards the Blanton Museum for a Graphic Design History Exhibition. I focused on the Bauhaus period and used the influence of designers, their work, and designed a specific button in that designers style for the Blanton Museum. I portrayed this on a cork board setting to enhance the playful nature of buttons and highlight them as a center piece to the image. 

This set of commemorative buttons features a different set of three buttons for each of the six days the museum is open. The designs for each day are themes based on a specific attribute of the Bauhaus movement. Tuesday and Wednesday focus on typography. Thursday and Friday focus on graphics. Saturday focuses on three famous designers of the movement. And lastly, Sunday shows the Bauhaus’ influence on architectural styles. The buttons are seperated into three groups for each day; General Admission, Students/Faculty, and Members. Each group also has a designated color scheme that stays consistent throughout the week. 

I was asked to design a set of buttons for a fictitious event at the Blanton Museum of Art about Dada. The buttons each focus on a different Dadist. Each set contains a portrait of the artist, an example of their work, and a typographic piece with their name. Each set is color coded. The poster design is inspired by Dadist typography, though I chose to clean it up and organize it more than they did. Since this movement is largely German, I decided to put the names of the days of the week in German.

This was a book designed to instruct women on how to floss. This book was created as a novelty item. It is mean to be sassy, humorous, and classy. There are pictures in the post above displaying the book in it’s 3D form. It was created to be interactive by including a pocket of floss inside the book as well as a mirror.
