12 ANGRY JURORS POSTER
12 Angry Jurors, also called Twelve Angry Men, is a play by Reginald Rose about twelve jurors who must determine the verdict regarding the crime of a teenage boy.
The play presented by Beckman High School adds an ancient Greek twist to the play.
The initial sketches are ideas based on reading the script before implementing the Greek twist. The following page shows the addition of Greek architecture with elements including arches, pillars, and an amphitheater.
Multiple color options were also provided.
ALTERNATIVE BOOK COVER
An alternative book cover design for "The Stranger" by Albert Camus.
The book involves topics including existentialism, nihilism, and isolation. I created crowded space through the repetition of the title to demonstrate the repetitive, mundane life the protagonist experienced. Meursault thought of himself as a mere statistic with no distinctions between himself and the rest of the population. He and everyone else, like the cloned typography in the design, were all the same.
THE REFUSAL OF THOUGHT
The purpose of this design was to represent the word refuse. I interpreted the prompt as the refusal of thought — specifically the desire for ignorance. Movement is created by the transition from linear to curved lines. Some external force is being driven into the side of the brain; however, it is unable to be processed, resulting in the incomprehensible mush spilling out the other end. The grayscale color scheme emphasizes the yearning to feel numb. The brain is in denial, therefore it is rejecting all thought.
LOLITA
Medium: Adobe Illustrator, woodblock, paint, stamps
Size: 6" x 6"
Woodblock art inspired by "Lolita" by Vladimir Nabokov.
"Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. Lo-lee-ta: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at three, on the teeth. Lo. Lee. Ta. She was Lo, plain Lo, in the morning, standing four feet ten in one sock. She was Lola in slacks. She was Dolly at school. She was Dolores on the dotted line. But in my arms she was always Lolita."
-Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita
