MIAD Class Projects

In 2023, I began pursuing a minor in graphic design at Marquette. The classes took place at the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design, where I took one graphic design class per semester. Some of the projects I was assigned involved creating informational posters with emphasis on typography. For each of these projects, I started by making 10-20 thumbnail sketches. I the condensed these to 2-3 full-sized sketches, eventually selecting one to move forward with based on peer and personal review. I used multiple programs to create each poster including Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign. All the hard work payed off when I got to present each poster at a class critique. I was pleased with the results of each project, and received much positive feedback during critique.
