Community Through Commonality
Project: Honors Research Project
Abstract:
For this project I will draw on the knowledge I have gained from attending UA. Before I became a student I thought I had to know exactly what I wanted to study and stick to whatever I chose. As a result of being an incredibly indecisive person, this prospect terrified me. College has been nothing like I imagined but in the best way. I have grown in a variety of areas and have also had the privilege of seeing my classmates grow in similar ways.My proposal for this project is multifaceted but each piece is necessary to the other components. It will consist of an essay, interviews, research that explores the psychological markers for growth, photography, full size portraits and a website.
During this process I hope to convey an appreciation for people and their experiences. The participants included in my project will hopefully learn more about themselves as they share their experiences with me and eventually with future viewers. I hope to create an overwhelming and inspiring experience that will mimic my own since attending UA.

book showing documented research, ideation, sketches, views of all final forms and
professional photography of your packages.Date: Fall Semester 2021
Description: Design for collectible/limited edition products. While there is a trend toward eliminating packaging for consumable consumer products, there is a similar trend toward creating high-end, limited edition packaging for collectors. The packaging in these cases becomes a large part of the desirability/marketability of the product. The packaging itself becomes an art object.
