Now & Next: Examining typographic futures & challenging the status quo with augmented reality (AR) and immersive, interactive experiences
The Now & Next project challenges students to explore current and future typographic themes through poster design and augmented reality (AR) experiences. Students conducted research, sketched ideas, and then transitioned to digital work to create 2D and 3D graphics for the AR interactive experience. The project aimed to blend typography across print and digital media,…

Mixed Realities as Design Intervention for Communities: Blending Digital and Physical Experiences
Design interventions that merge both real and virtual worlds, where physical and digital experiences co-exist and interact in real time, can result in particularly engaging mixed realities within the built environment and beyond that can connect with audiences in multiple ways across multiple platforms.

Art, Technology, and Collaboration: A Robot Drawing Workshop with the Pitt Pirates Robotics Team
The Pitt Pirates Robotics Team (PPR) participated in a two-day workshop to learn about and build drawing robots. The drawing robots are tools with basic moving capabilities (forward, backward, right, and left) that draw on a large canvas via a web browser interface. The students from PPR were highly engaged with the technology and system…

A New Motion Design Project with Graphic Design Seniors at ECU
This semester, the graphic design seniors at ECU were introduced to graphic design principles in motion and storytelling. Students were challenged to consider the element of time in their work effectively to communicate a message or idea. We surveyed a lot of sample work on Vimeo from historical to contemporary examples. To view our Vimeo…
