Low Resolution Typeface & Type Specimen Booklet
This project consisted of two parts, designing a low resolution typeface by hand, and then showcasing said typeface in a type specimen booklet. I aimed to find a balance between working within the strict confines of the grid while also showcasing my typeface with added dimension and movement.

Whiplash Poster
Whiplash is a film released in 2014, directed by Damien Chazelle. The film follows a Jazz drummer and his struggle to reach the top of the studio band in a prestigious NYC music academy.
Poster created at 24"x 36" using my own photographs and illustrations.
One moment that stood out to me in the film is when we see J .K. Simmon's character conduct the studio band for the first time, and they play Whiplash. He holds his hand out and the entire room comes to attention as if it's the military. He pauses for a moment in suspense, and then signals with his hand, 2, 3 4.. and they begin. It perfectly encompassed the theme of exact tempo and constant vigilance in the film. I wanted my animated sequence to reflect this moment that I felt was very simple but so important.
