This piece is a typographic logo containing my initials ACH. The design is European inspired with a minimalistic touch. Implied lines are emphasized in this logo to make each letter stand out.
"Below" is based on the concept of memento mori, or "remember, you will die." The viewer starts at a staircase that spirals down into a portal formed by distorted images of the Paris Catacombs, leading into a cold, dead graveyard -- the underworld. The composition doubles as an imitation of an eyeball: the stairs acting as the sclera, the portal as the iris, and the graveyard as the pupil. As the viewer looks down the staircase, it looks back at them -- reminding them that they too will meet the fate as the dead buried in those graves.
For this assignment I went with a surrealist and horror approach. As I combined the yolk of the egg and the spiraling amber eye, it created a sense of unease and mystery in the piece. The juxtaposition of seemingly unrelated elements contributed to the overall surreal atmosphere of the artwork.
A redesigned and more modern cover of the 1961 Literature Nobel Prize winning book, "The Bridge on The Drina". This project was fully created using Photoshop with pictures of the actual bridge in Višegrad along with images of the actual text that Andrić wrote. I wanted to show how Andrić’s words flowed like the river Drina, so I took a picture of the text with the paper imitating the swells of the water and implemented them into the river in the photograph. I then made the bridge stand out more by making the background have a blue blurred hue.
Inspired by the dramatic nuclear tensions in the world currently, I created this illustration to bring awareness to the dialogue and encourage peace. My use of comical typography provides a deep contrast to the harsh and terrifying background, almost as a means to cope with the horror. The goal of this piece is to make this issue visual and communicated in the most effective way I can- through art.
Draped plaster bust of a bearded man with Grecian curls clustered around his face. His full beard and intense brow give him a look of wisdom that belies his youthful age. His intense lifelike gaze seems to ask piercing questions. A toga is gracefully draped across his shoulders. This bust portrays Professor of Political Theory Dr. Matthew H. Young of Elon University in the likeness of the Greek philosopher Plato, a particular interest of his.
This Is my photo montage; I wanted to create a simple symbolic meaning for the saying "The light of the world" and to show a humorous visual of God placing light for the earth. In a deeper context, God, on the first day said, "let there be light", but on the fourth day God put up the sun and moon for a light source. Humorously I imagined God on the first day making the lamp and on the fourth day placing the bulb in the lamp so there is a light source for the world.
The goal of this project was to create a vibrant and meaningful redesign of Iceland’s currency, celebrating the contributions of three influential women in the country’s history. By incorporating the legacies of Vigdís Finnbogadóttir, Bríet Bjarnhéðinsdóttir, and Sigríður Tómasdóttir, the design not only honors their achievements but also highlights Iceland’s progressive history in gender equality and environmental preservation.
From the Victorian idea of women being the “angel of the house,” this series of paintings explores the concept of the corruption of femininity by society by creating femininity as something to be performed or perfected, rather than something unique and inherent to every woman. Through this series, this presentation will guide the viewer through the artistic process of these paintings and answer any questions the viewer may have regarding the process or pieces.
A hand-thrown teapot with mugs and a cooling bowl, glazed with a Western flair to embody cowboy culture. This piece represents the gathering of individuals to have a warm cup of tea or coffee and sit around telling stories or chit-chatting.
“Ld” is a logo for “Lucas Design” my personal Graphic Design business. The logo creatively uses an italic manipulation of Helvetica to mimic movement demonstrating my flexibility, professionalism, and organization as a Graphic Designer. The choice of a sky blue tone and sequential darker shades create unity, furthering the notion of movement in the logo. In this project, I learned the importance of having clean and collective marketing. The balance between font choice, color, and layout impacts how your brand is perceived, remembered, and upheld.
