For my site design i drew inspiration from Aldus Manutius and his triangle rags he used for paragraphing. Although i don't think this would function for About.com's website i do find it interesting. Aldus Manutius' work is beautiful and i know i'll look to him for creative energy later one.

The following designs showcase varying levels of depth. Some accomplish depth through through color contrast. Placement is a major factor in portraying a sense of depth in the following designs. The designs are laid out in a two-dimensional setting, but somehow many of them still portray forward-backward space and the concept of distance. I learned a lot about what makes a 3D object look 3D. My design was based on a tunnel.

This project was based on a button series that would be handed out at the Blanton Museum of Art at the University of Texas in Austin. We were told to pick a design era to create the series. I chose International Swiss style and made three collectable buttons for each day the Blanton is open. UT students would be able to pick one of the custom Longhorn buttons with a student ID. I feel as though i learned a lot about color in this project. I stayed very true to the classic style and feel a represented it nicely.
