KU Designathon 2012

Designathon:
24-hour event where teams of volunteer Communication Design students along with professors and alumni, design and produce pro-bono creative works for non-profits.

I had the chance to work with and direct this talented group of young designers.

  • Emily Snyder
  • Heather Geneva Lewis
  • Peter Hershey

Gift Cards for Charities:
“Currently we are working to establish an orphanage at Lanet-Nakaru to cater for the needs of vulnerable children. The orphanage will be set within a school complex to give the orphaned children a chance to study in our primary school. This orphanage will serve the needs of the people without discrimination regardless their geographical boundaries, religious background, belief, and ethnicity group.”

Detail on Images and link to designers = http://bit.ly/HyELhk | The images above show the development of Navigation layout, wireframes, texture creation, and printed concepts.

Our client requested that we use some traditional african elements, warm colors, images of the children the charity has helped, and easy to understand donation options.

We also discussed future expansion of the site with the client and decided to leave options for a more expansive navigation and additional supporting comment at the bottom of each page.

21st Century Farm House

My parents have been on a huge renovation kick at my childhood home. I’m pretty proud because all of the improvements have been eco-friendly and more energy efficient!

As seen above – New heating and hot water system (yellow) and self powered osmosis water purification system. They now have cut their oil heat consumption down to 1/3 and are able to get rid of the bottled water system we had before.

Planning wood @ Parents

Planning wood @ Parents

This weekend I went home to help my family with some work around the house. Among fixing my grandmother’s computer I also helped my dad plane some wood for the overhangs of the new roof we will have done to replace the old house roof. The boards were 15-20 feet long X 18 inches wide X 2 inches thick. It was nice to do something with my hands for once that didn’t involve a compter! HAHA – My mom was nice enough to take a photo of me doing something for once! 😛
