The best of my favorite Graphic Design 2 project of the semester.
ASSIGNMENT 5: VISUAL SEMANTICS

“The term Visual Semantics refers to the meaning and manipulation of words (letters) to illustrate an idea, action or the evocation of an image...The word serves a dual purpose, verbal, and pictorial. This involves the arrangement of letters in such a way as to make a word visually self-explanatory—a kind of universal sign language.”
—Paul Rand

Based on the renowned American designer’s concept above, illustrate the name of an artist (their first AND last name) using typography as the main instrument of creation. Your goal is to capture the essence of the artist chosen, whatever you perceive this to be, while pushing the legibility and boundaries of letterforms.

The students used Adobe Fresco, Illustrator, Photoshop, laser-cut matboard, wire, acyclic paint, charcoal, and a recycled Mexican cereal box, respectively.

Can YOU figure out the names of the eight artists my talented introductory-level graphic designers created with their experimental typography?

An amazing two days leading my students on a field trip to UTEP Library’s 6th floor Special Collections where my Graphic Design 2 classes were able to see all the treasures they have to offer in terms of typography—from A to Z! We saw a hand-lettered & painted Spanish book (c. ?) whose pages feature a frame drawn with iron-based ink ✍️ that has eroded every page as precisely as if it were a knife, cutting through the entire thickness of the book! 🐛 Bugs had eaten away at its corners before it was ever donated to our library to conserve. 🐜 AND, major props to anyone who can comment & identify the language this 1860 Bible is in! 🤔 Most amazing was the cuneiform mud brick! Such bricks were made of straw and mud, commonly used throughout Mesopotamia from roughly 3000 BCE to 600 BCE for monumental construction. 🤯

Another day, another big design branding event. Love the risograph look of Super Bowl LX’s logo.

“The colors that bring the Super Bowl LX logo to life look print-ready and poster-worthy, drawing on the vibrant primary hues of the CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) color palette. Rich in hot pinks, yellows, greens, and even a smidge of red (for the Golden Gate Bridge, of course!), the sunny California vibes are completed by a liberal dollop of bright blue sky — all the better to signal the region’s Pacific-perfect weather for enjoying football’s biggest game in the great outdoors.”

It's official—I am writing my first book!
For 2027, the Texas Western Fellowship Award recipient is Anne M. Giangiulio, UTEP Associate Professor of Art, for “Rotulistas: Sign Painters of El Paso.” This book captures 75 years of visual culture distinct to the El Paso borderland – the artistry of the rotulistas, or sign painters. It delves into the history of the unique hand-drawn business signage of the area, starting with the arrival of the railroad in El Paso in 1881, to the rotulista “glory days” of the 1950s to early 1980s, and the new generation that assigns high value to a handmade aesthetic. It will feature stories gleaned from interviews with local practitioners of hand-drawn signage, and information on tools and techniques of the trade.
Giangiulio will be awarded $5,000, and her book is scheduled for publication in summer 2027.

‘Huddled Masses’, my latest work for Graphis’ Competition, UNMUTED: Designers for Humanity.

Assignment:
As an American and as a child of immigrants, I no longer recognize my country. The promise of the American Dream that my ancestors fought and died for has been replaced by racist, xenophobic hate and violence from the highest office. It is absurd to villainize all immigrants and the majority knows this. This poster aims to make this nonsense clear.
Approach:
President Trump has made a mockery of the famous words of poet Emma Lazarus that are emblazoned at the base of the Statue of Liberty. I dream of a day we will once again honor the value immigrants have brought to our country.
Results:
The power is in the hands of the American people. We must resist and exercise our right to protest this administration. This poster hopes to point out that this hateful rhetoric is not what America is built upon.

I did a crazy thing today I’ve been thinking about for a while now—that our dining room light would make a perfect shadow puppet theater! I decided to try it out by making it seasonal and visiting the laser cutter today. I still need to figure out some adhesive mechanics & such. I love that when the light is off it shows zero sign of the design—Flip the switch for a surprise! I have lots of fun ideas for other times of year 🤔 More to come… 🎅 🦌 🎄

Yes!!! 🙌
