Final Project - Aerospace Program "Internship" with EET

Currently finishing up an internship with Electronics Engineering Technology @ Pittsburg State University. My label is considered Multimedia Marketing Manager and a NASA KANSAS scholar. My goals (as well as the advisers), for this years project consider upgrading the departments recruitment process. Blog Pages that double as websites, facebook setup, memos/business cards, posters, and video's are just some of what I did this year with EET.
Coming to a close with EET, I've realized running a multimedia campaign is a very difficult, but even more a challenging task. For my last project with EET and Digital File Prep, I decided to do an exotic folds piece that no once could replicate. (an all original layout). Although the budget was low I managed to come up with some 90lb (light paper) metallic paper that will print both front and back. The original folds would have cost $230 just for the scoring process (customized scoring die cut). So we decided to just focus all our resources on getting great paper stock and making it flashy. On the inside, which is page two, has an overview of the programs inside of EET. Each print should roughly cost $0.25 a print. At $1000 thats $2500 plus the $230 for the die cut. $2730 is the total. This time around we decided to order only 300 units. Totally $75 for the final project. The Aerospace program is rapidly going threw the funds of NASAinKansas and I feel this design may bring more great jobs and more students to Pitt in the future.

The Design will be printed on big 20X17 and cut down to 8.5X11 for cost effectiveness reasons. Fold marks are indicated on the inside of the design so someone could figure out how to fold the design backup. This business card with the overview of the program should really simulate growth threw out the department with the built in QR code on the under belly of the airplane. eetpsu.blogspot.com is where the qr code is linked to. This is another project I finished for them this year and dearly love the opportunity to show off my design ides.

Magizine Ad - The Music Is Alive

With intent of promoting DJ Bigdad, I used this Magazine Ad proposal to promote the inter-workings of producing music and selling the tracks. After knowing my target audience of underground rappers/song writers, I started to develop the street art design. It has been important to me as a designer to be able to design with more designs than that of street art. Professional pieces as well as elaborate folds are what I like best when developing your own pieces.

This design is an inspired Ad from one I had seen in XXL magazine. There magazine page sizes are 10.5 X 8in. The bleed is .125in which seems to be fairly normal with XXL. The Idea was about someone having the ability to scan a QR Code and bring up all an artist's work. In the case with DJ Bigdad, someone could download and listen to mix shows, download free full albums and mashups, as well as buy exclusive tracks all from the connection of the qr code.

The Custom QR Code was designed in a way DJ Bigdad could still be read and applied. This is the future for QR Codes and people starting to use them more and more all the time.

I shot the pictures in my Photography Class with the help of other students. This picture is call light painting and can be done by keeping your shutter open while drawing a design.

I Call this Project - "The Music is Alive"

ENJOY some of my beautiful street art!
