Hi! My name is Justine Wan and I am an undergraduate student at Drexel Univeristy, pursing a major in graphic design and a minor in English.
Please bear with me as the site is still under some construction! Thank you :)
This is my first project ever as a graphic designer. The assignment was to take a real life image of a robot and to recreate it in in Adobe Illustrator. Not only did my skills using Illustrator increase, but I also learned the important lesson of attention to detail, as well as the importance to save your work every five seconds.
This robot friend was created using Adobe Photoshop CS4. I took photographs of objects found in my room, and, using clipping masks, reconstructed the objects into a robot. Mr. Tux is made up of 25 found objects.
Using a chapter excerpt from Alan Lightman's "Einstein's Dreams", I experimented with the type with simple and complex grid systems, and eventually adding illustration and other imagery. This project helped me be able to differentiate from good design decisions and bad design decisions.

This project was to create an exhibit wall that informed viewers on gout patients could maintain their health through good nutrition and dieting. There are three panels to the wall. The first consists of an introduction paragraph, accompanied by an infographic, explaining exactly how gout occurs in the body. The middle panel explains to viewers the importance of a balanced diet and how gout can be maintained through what foods are eaten, as well as what foods are recommended for gout paitents and which foods should be avoided. The final panel consists of an interactive screen in which viewers can pick. choose, and print out recipes for dishes suitable for a gout patient's diet.

I have always been amazed at how strong of an impact the media has on society. No matter where anyone is, there will always be magazine headlines, roadside billboards, and tv commercials telling people what they want and how they should think. It's a powerful tool that affects the public whether the people want it to or not. I love design because it allows me to have a voice, and to play a role in what influences the society I live in.
