Senior in Communication Design
Most of my work is interface-based/digital such as mobile app design, web design, etc. I use design to identify and attempt to solve problems many people might have. My senior thesis, for example, challenges the longstanding issue of poor sex education in schools and other environments.
For my project I would like to explore the relationship between animals of deserts such as the Mojave and their environment. The desert, in my opinion, is one of the most preserved ecosystems in America, with most people settling around their environment rather than on top of it. I also find it fascinating how much diversity there is in the desert that you hardly see because the animals that live there exist within the environment almost entirely, camouflaging themselves perfectly.
I want to represent this camouflaging with a hand-bound book of illustrations that when you color them in, become more clear to the viewer.
