Well-known comedian Ralphie May recently visited my university and I was given the opportunity to design a large poster to promote his performance. I explored a few different visual ideas for the poster, and in the end, Ralphie May really liked the final version.
The first idea I had was to play off of the comedian's large stature and create bulbous, comedic-looking typography to display May's name. In the end, the letters were not incorporated into a poster, but it was a good exploration.
Another way I thought to convey Ralphie May's larger-than-life persona was by employing some sort of 3-dimensional element in the poster design. (Click on the small images to view full-sized.)
For a couple other variations, I simply tried playing around with typography, wanting to get the name Ralphie May directly in the viewer's face.
The final version combined 3d elements with a more "shiny" look that mimicked the lighting used on the image of Ralphie May I had been supplied with.

In the past couple of years I have become increasingly interested in the field of motion graphic design. For my senior project, I chose to push myself to learn as much as I could in a 10-week period about creating a motion clip in AfterEffects. As a subject, I chose to do a mock opening title sequence for the book A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, written by Dave Eggers.
This clip is only a snippet of the whole project. In all, the piece is around three minutes.
