Wedding Set

The following is a series of items that I designed for a recent wedding, including the save the date card, the r.s.v.p. card, the wedding invitation, and the program.

A gluten-free guide to Austin's food trailers (cell phone application)

Independently owned food trailers are a rapidly expanding industry in Austin. For entrepreneurs, they represent an accessible pathway to self-ownership. For customers, they provide a quick and affordable dining option in a rough economy.

This proposed cell phone application is a user-friendly guide to Austin's food trailers for people with gluten and sugar sensitivities, or for those on a low-carbohydrate diet.

The application allows users to narrow their search by location and type of dietary restriction. Selecting a particular food trailer brings up basic information about the business, including their address and the type of food they serve. The user may then to choose to view the menu items that fit their dietary specifications, or return to the list of food trailers.

Locating place: a motion piece

This is a short motion piece that attempts to capture the mood of a particular neighborhood. The objects and images were taken directly from the neighborhood and re-framed in a new context.

Locating place postcards

These are stills from the locating place motion piece.

Locating place book

The idea behind the locating place books is to address the general question of what creates, identifies, and defines cities and places, and then focus in on a particular neighborhood.

In order to reflect the idea of the city as an ever evolving entity with no beginning and no end within the actual structure of the book, I used a book structure that also had no beginning or end. It is essentially a wooden dowel with three book sections hanging on metal rings, allowing the pages to be viewed in many different combinations, without a significant opening or closing point.
