My senior project is an animated projection project inspired by cats. The project started with an interest in projection mapping. Last semester, I used projection mapping to create a project that was visually interesting and appealing. I wanted to create the same visual effect this semester. However, I wanted to incorporate an element of interactivity in my senior project.

Based off my AR Comic work in Design Workshop, I wanted to take the next step forward and create a three minute animation. The Whistle of the Mountain is a spooky story about a train engineer and a conductor who hear an eerie sound on a night run through the mountains.

For my previous semester, my project was fully digital. It was a website created for a Fan Game I worked on called ToonTown: Event Horizon. This time, I wanted to go in the opposite direction and make something completely physical. Hence, my project this year would be making and printing physical comics, cutouts, and even stickers for my Senior Project.

The Condemned Project is a concept design book with character, monster, and enviornment design. This art book is the start of a pitch intended as a video game proposal. My interest in a career is to work in game development as a concept artist. I also enjoy collecting concept art books for my favorite video game series, which is why I decided to create a concept book for my project.

The concept I developed for Senior Project was to design a luxury home that felt like a warm inviting hug when you first walk in.

The convergence of film and advertising represents a captivating junction where storytelling converges with audience engagement. This fusion was the driving force behind conceptualizing the CineARXperience project. It wasn't soley about marketing films; rather, it was about crafting an immersive journey that would captivate audiences, transcending conventional marketing strategies.

For the senior project, the idea proposed was the branding of an online apparel brand and its packaged deliverables. I wanted to create a brand from the ground up rather than redesign an existing one on the simple belief that I felt it would be compared discriminatively to what might already be working. It is an irrational belief to have in this industry, yet it still persuaded me.

What initally inspired me to make this app is my puppy, Nola. I got her from a litter and was able to see all the puppies right after they were born. It was hard to pick just one, but since I got to see all of them, I often wonder what they look like now and how they are doing. Nola is a catahoula, pitbull mix so I also wonder if some grew up to look more like one breed than the other. It also crossed my mond that they could live nearby and I would have no idea. If I knew, maybe I would get together with the owner and plan a playdate at a nearby park, allowing my dog to reunite with her siblings.

For my senior project, I wnated to create and brand my own restaurant or food truck. I had the idea to combine sushi and THC and name it groovy sushi. What I was trying to execute was a brand that is fun, groovy, and has a memorable name/logo.

I already knew that I wanted to make another videogame for my senior project, this time with a bigger scope and a more specialized premise than just 鈥渟hoot all the rocks鈥�. When thinking of the premise I asked myself: what kind of game would make sense for a showcase? This game was going to be stationed in a physical place where multiple people will play it and/or walk by it as it runs, similar to an arcade. That鈥檚 when the basic premise came to me, something that can only be realized in a setting with so many people rotating through: a raid boss.
