o Green Market Identity Project:
? By using agile principles, intensive research, design skills, and marketing techniques I was able to create the perfect branding for a Green Market while presenting them with a portfolio containing different deliverables. It was specifically chosen by my professor to submit it to the Green Market Farm.
o “Buy Nothing Day Campaign Creation from ADBUSTERS:
? Had to create a campaign presentation based on the “Buy Nothing Day” campaign using my design and data interpretation/ analysis techniques. My visual presentation was selected as “Most Effective Digital Campaign” from the class and was submitted to the ADBUSTERS website.
o Specially selected video production project:
? With having no prior experience using adobe products or a professional camera, I created a “Portrait of a Place” short film. The reason my professor chose it out of everyone in the class as the best project is because the shots came out distorted and blurry but through determination, trial and error, research, and the drive to learn I was able to save the project and made it into the specially selected piece played in front of the entire 150+ person department.
