Media Design (MEJO 482) with Grayson Mendenhall
This class is all about learning design in multiple different fields. My projects include posters, brand packages, and even a zine. They are listed here in chronological order, each can be clicked on to zoom in closer.
Project 1 – Typography
This project was to create a poster for “Design Culture Now,” an event based on diversity in the design industry.
Project 2 – Album Design
The concept for this project was to redesign a popular album (and a promotional poster) in the style of Blue Note albums. I chose Cosmic Thing by the B-52s.
Project 3 – Editorial Design
This project was to create an editorial illustration about a topic our professor provided. I chose to create one based off the prompt “AI in art.”
Project 4 – Brand Design
This project was to create a logo and brand identity package for a brand our teacher created. I chose “Arena,” a bar/arcade in Atlanta, GA. The PDF is interactive.
Project 5 – Magazine Design
This project was to create a zine of any topic of our choosing, the one requirement that it is bilingual. My zine is called “Knitwit,” and it’s an English/French magazine about knitting. The PDF is interactive, and the stories and some pictures are sourced from all over the internet.
Project 6 – Design for a Motion Graphic
This project was to create stills for a motion graphic. The company I chose was a fake one called “Mombi,” the goal was to connect people across the world.
Project 7 – Creating the Motion Graphic
This project was to expand on the last one and actually create the motion graphic. This was my first time using Adobe AfterEffects, and I’m very proud of my work. I had a friend do a voiceover for the video.
