Paintings And Explorations, Scott Ender

Art and Design

My senior project consisted of a large series of paintings on canvas. I created seven large scale paintings (36” x 48” size) which involved minimalism, typography, a “painterly” process, and abstraction. It was a series of explorations in working with my own two (physical) hands, rather than working on a computer as is the standard method of working for graphic designers. These paintings were done in hopes that the series would help me further define my artistic style, accumulate a larger body of work, and possibly discover a new form of painting.

Mycalpoly Redesign Concept, Andrew Santos-Johnson

Art and Design

For my senior project I developed a conceptual redesign for the Mycalpoly Portal interface. I approached the whole process with the objective of designing a better user experience. The Portal redesign concept began with research on interaction design and user interviews and culminated with screenshots of the final design. The final concept included redesigns for the Mycalpoly login screen, the homepage, custom homepage, an example of extended tab view, and a sample search results page.

The following report includes background information on interaction design, as well as the process I went through to create my redesign for the Mycalpoly Portal.

Images are referenced throughout the paper; these images can be found at the end of the paper.

An Abridged Visual History Of Graphic Design, Tierney Cunningham

Art and Design

This is a documentation of the research, design methods, and production of “An Abridged Visual History of Graphic Design.” First the documentation explains the choice to create an illustrated design history book. Then, it describes the research methods and findings of the process, as well as a detailed description of the design decisions made for each graphic movement covered. It provides in-progress illustrations and covers the production methods for the two final books.
