*NEW WESITE*

IMPORTANT NEWS!

I will no longer be using this site as my "professional" website. I recently discovered a new website hosting site that will suit my needs better.
So here's the thing, I will still use this site to post news, process/WIPs, and finished works. This site will be used more as a blog for family and friends to follow. Here is the address to my new site: Laurenmotion.com

Summer at SMT

This past summer I worked at Sportsmedia Technology as a design intern. While I was there I worked on projects for Showtime Strikeforce, MLB Network, Time Warner Cable Sportsnet and internal projects for SMT. I learned so much when I was there and I enjoyed every minute!

Showtime Strikeforce

I was asked to design color chips and the section for standing time for the Strikeforce ticker. I made multiple variations for the client to pick.

In the end the client chose the design in the bottom right.

Unfortunately none of the fights from that event needed the standing time stat. Here are some the standing time designs. The client chose the design on the larger image.

NFL Pre-Season- Commercial

A design board for a promo for the NFL pre-season. I wanted to capture the building tension and periods of anticipation of the game in this piece.

Jungian Shadow-Illustrative

"Everything that man should, and yet cannot, be or do- be it in a positive or negative sense - lives on as a mythological figure and anticipation alongside his consciousness, either as a religious projection or-what is still more dangerous-as unconscious contents which then project themselves spontaneously into incongruous objects, e.g., hygienic and other "salvationist" doctrines or practices. All these are so many rationalized substitutes for mythology, and their unnaturalness does more harm than good."--"The Psychology of the Child Archetype" (1940). In CW 9, Part I: The Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious. P.287

The Cake is NOT a Lie-Infographic

This is an infographic I made for my Design for Motion class. The theme for this assignment was alchemy. I came up with the concept of mixing ingredients for drinks and then discovered that there were cocktails based off the game Portal.

Fangtasia Promo

This project had the concept of love. I chose to explore the more lustful side of love. I had been watching a True Blood marathon and was inspired to create a promo for the vampire bar from the show, Fangtasia. I imagine this piece being a stop motion and the type embroiding itself into the black pleather and red satin. At the moment I only have "Fangtasia" embroided but I definitely plan on going back to do the rest.

Sniper Infographic

For this project I had to use a Naive/Modernist style. I was given the concept of hunter/gatherer. I thought of the most dangerous game--humans, and who hunts humans. My brainstorming lead me to snipers. So my thought for this board is an infographic explaining what snipers do and what it all entails. I imagine the piece to be quite long so these frames depict the beginning of the piece.
