A Solar Powered Westfield
For my project I wanted to focus on the issue of climate change and how renewable forms of energy such as solar are a way to help deal with the climate crisis. I wanted to see how Westfield can become entirely dependent on solar energy for this project. I researched how other cities and states in relation to being solar dependent and how they have done. I Also conducted a focus group around WSU and with people not at WSU. I was able to find that Westfield could switch to solar entirely and there is overwhelming approval for a switch to solar energy which is shown in my project.

When Nutrition Graphic Design Project
What are the impacts of real-world experiences in the classroom? This was the thesis behind the collaborative work in the Art Department’s Graphic Design 2 course in Fall 2021. Students were separated into two groups, simulating the organizational structure of a graphic design firm. These students in their roles were then instructed to interview, research, brainstorm, create iteration, and finalize a full branding system for Yvette Parker and her healthy shake shop When Nutrition. Each group produced a logo and corporate color scheme, brand rules, advertising (print and digital), website, animated bumper, packaging, and environmental graphics for the When Nutrition.

"Programming Sudoku"
“Programming Sudoku” is a presentation on the development of a board game-based project, which potentially will be brought to market. During the presentation, we will provide a description of the game’s rules, how to play it and a brief introduction to the development aspect of the game. The programming section of the presentation addresses the development of aesthetically pleasing user interfaces (UI-UX), development methods for an application, specifically the Agile Scrum framework, which is one of multiple frameworks used to manage, structure, and develop a program, and how we adapted Agile concepts to our project.
