They needed a website that could keep track of what beer was on tap, what had been kicked, and what was on deck. I created a WordPress template featuring an editable dinner menu, a complete list of bottled beer, and a list of taps that can be updated before you can put down a pint. Belgian lovers rejoice!

I chose to focus on how design change from something static to something that motivates someone to take action. I began by asking, “When do touching moments occur?” The answers I kept coming back to were 1) when we step out of our normal routine and 2) when we do things for others.

My project is a series of twelve clocks mounted on a large board. Instead of hands, each clock has a disk with a slit cut into it. Every five minutes one of the clocks reveals a message that asks the viewer to pause what they’re doing to spend time doing something for themselves or someone else.

The website came along as a way to allow anyone to join in and destroy a few words of their own. A series of variables allow users to control the rate, distance, and size of the destruction.

This project uses Processing to map music’s audio frequency to a grid. Based on how much any part of the frequency changes determines how quickly that portion of the grid rotates through a series of images.

The resulting images are show to the left. Click on the link below to see movies of how they were made.

The assignment was to animate type to a dialogue. I chose this piece of audio from The Office because each of the characters has a unique manner of speaking that I felt would translate nicely as pure typography. And because it included Violent Andy. We all miss Violent Andy.
