SaFe LaB and SaFe PaL

Logo and Branding

Contract work for San Diego State University

Logo animation
Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) Department at SDSU began the process to roll out a few initiatives to improve the safety culture in labs on campus. The first of these initiatives was a designation for an individual who goes above and beyond a "safety champion" and award them a badge or certificate. The second initiative was to award the lab that completes all the necessary setup in their online system (BioRAFT), a similar badge/certificate that they can display. For this, EHS tasked us to develop a name for both of these initiatives, create two logos, and deliver application concepts.

Hyna Dysplay was developed as part of a 15 weeks of type semester long project exploring creative typographic forms. Inspiration for this typeface came from an interest in exploring blackletter, its connection with Mexican and Chicanx visual cultures, and an interest in exploring experimental letterform techniques.

Editorial

Personal Project

A bright orange event flyer on a car hood
ROC-AN-ROL is a a multi-spread document that explores the relationship between two texts; a macro and micro text. These texts are related but not directly in reference to one another, through the visual solution the texts should be linked. For the subject of this project the text from Love and Rage by Kelley Trato was used as the macro text, while for the micro text the Mexican National Anthem was used. The connection found between these texts was the concept of music and Mexican identity.
