DEATH BECOMES US

Death Becomes Us is a series of three books featuring three classic children’s fairy tales with a sinister twist. I have always been fascinated with the horror genre and reading creepy stories, and wanted to combine this interest with nostalgic characters and stories I grew up with. This collection includes the story of Alice in Wonderland, Little Red Riding Hood, and Hansel and Gretel. Death Becomes Us is a re-imaging of these fairy tales where the heroes share a dark and bloody fate compared to their original story.
Character Illustrations
I designed each character as well as their respective cover illustration with a dark and bloody approach. I chose to redesign classic children stories to juxtapose their lighthearted tale with my gory aesthetic. Each of my design draws inspiration from a dark component from their original story that I exaggerated. For example, In Hansel and Gretel, instead of eating the house made of candy, they eat each other. Little Red Riding Hood is prepared to battle the wolf, and Alice becomes demented and psychotic just like the world she enters.

DOT ME

DotMe is a startup company that focuses on providing a tracking service for families affected by autism. Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are prone to wandering, which can place them in life-threatening situations. With Dot Me, users are given a tracking bracelet that would allow families to monitor their location, enabling those with ASD to live their life with minimal interference. The tracking bracelet is linked with a phone applications to allow parents/guardians to view the individuals location as well as coordinate search groups with the community in the event the individual wanders away from a designated location.

Approach

Each component of the Dot Me brand was created with the intent of being approachable, accessible and reliable. It was my priority to eliminate the stigma with autism; I didn’t want those using the service and product to feel any different from everyone else. The logo I created appears simultaneously as a location tracker as well as a parent holding and protecting their child. The logo signifies the idea of security, protection, and re-uniting families while at the same time maintaining a friendly and approachable persona. The color palette and typography enhances this feature.

User Interface
One of company’s first concern was to create a series of phone screens they can use to test with their target consumers. The phone application would host a variety of specialized features, such as a satellite mode, the ability to set up a geo-perimeter, and creating a group page for volunteers during events. In designing the user interface, my main priority was to visually translate these unique features into a design that was intuitive and clear as possible; since the app will often be used during an emergency, users must be able to navigate the application quickly without friction. The phone application hosts a variety of specialized screens such as creating a perimeter around a designated area in which guardians will be allerted if the user crosses
