Senior Seminar: n2n

I am currently working on an advertisement packet for a
non-profit organization called neighbor to neighbor (n2n).
n2n is an organization which provides after school learning
experience to children in the community through mentoring system.
In order to encourage college students to become mentors,
n2n needed something that they can hand out at college volunteer fairs.
Here are some of my progress on this project:

The first version is my initial design for this project, which I added
a third color and a lighter green to n2n's original colors
(dark green, orange and white). The second version is with same
design, but in different colors. The second version is mostly with
n2n's original colors, just in case that is what they prefer.

Rollover Images

This will be my rollover image for the navigation menu.
Since I already have enough images, I didn't wanted to add
a new image, so I just made the background of it darker
and changed the text to white. Hopefully this will work-

2nd Issue of The Peace Times

Below is the full page spread that I worked on for the 2nd Issue of The Peace Times. The article is about when faculty and staff members were 17- This was the first time I've ever worked on the graphic of a newspaper article, and although challenging, it was fun to work with- I've also tried to get away from my usual style of using soft colors so I'm kind of happy with its boldness :]

1st Issue of The Peace Times

This year, I've become a part of the newspaper team-
I'd say I'm enjoying it very much
and it's stress-free for the most time!
Here are two projects that I worked on for the first issue.

This is a calendar with campus events information on it,


and this is an ad. for Person Street Pharmacy.
It was interesting to design for them because of their uniqueness
of selling both medicines and hamburgers...

Updated homepage and templates

Web Re-design sketches

As part of our new assignment in Design for Screen, we are re-designing the current websites according to our partner's
(or "client's") need. The topic that I am given with is "medieval martial arts" and here is the website that I'm re-designing: http://www.aemma.org/
I will explain more about the process as we go along, but for now these are my sketches.

Portfolio Inspirations

Hello! I've just realized that my last post was on April (wow).
Between now and then, a long summer has passed and
I've become a senior in college, which means it's time to get
ready for the real world! (the fun stuff! I want to look at it as..)
The first step I'm taking is prepare my portfolio and
making sure it looks as perfect and professional as possible.
Since my portfolio is a reflection of who I am as a designer
it is important to organized it in a way which it will leave
a good impression on the viewer. Speaking of impression,
often times first impression can almost determine
something's overall impression. In other words, first impression,
or the moment you step into the interview room should
not be underestimated. In order to stand out from the beginning
of the portfolio review, we have learned in class that
having a portfolio bag/case/box that's unique is critical.
So I've done some research and listed some of the portfolio
containers that would inspire me on finding the right one for me.
