This project is an alternate cover redesign for the album Big Time by Angel Olsen. Big Time is the fifth studio album by American singer-songwriter Angel Olsen, and her first original release since All Mirrors (2019). The album was released on June 3, 2022, by Jagjaguwar. Produced by Olsen and Jonathan Wilson, the album was preceded by the singles "All the Good Times", "Big Time" and "Through the Fires". The record was accompanied by a 28-minute visual counterpart, directed by Kimberly Stuckwisch.
This project is an alternate cover redesign for the singles “These Arms of Mine” and “Hey Hey Baby” by Otis Redding. "These Arms of Mine" is a song written by soul musician Otis Redding. Redding was at that time a member of Pat Teacake's Band, consisting of lead guitarist Johnny Jenkins, bassist Pat Teacake and vocalist/songwriter Redding, who also served as driver for Jenkins, who did not have a driver's license. Atlantic Records artist representative Joe Galkin showed interest in Jenkins and proposed to send him to a studio. On the way to a gig, Redding had the opportunity to perform the songs "Hey Hey Baby" and "These Arms of Mine" as Jenkins and house band Booker T. & the M.G.'s ended their sets earlier than scheduled.

As part of the TBD* Studio, I helped design an article for Plastikcomb Magazine’s sixth edition. The article is an interview with the artist Laura Arteaga Charlton, a visual artist/printmaker based in Florida. We worked collaboratively as a group to design the article, and each of us focused on a specific spread. The spread I focused on was pages three and four. The cover of the magazine was designed by Bob Aufuldish.The challenge of this project was to display Charlton’s artwork with elegance and center the contents of the discussion.

This design system is for Flying Saucer Simulator 2050, a fictional simulation video game. This project is centered around the posters and the manual for the game. The look and feel of the game would be reminiscent of early 2000s video games with an emphasis on cartoony graphics and satisfying movement mechanics.
