Item Book design: "Fairy tales by H.C. Andersen, an illustrated collection of stories"(2022) Cox, Lisa; Pacher, Constanza"Fairy Tales by H.C. Andersen, A Collection of Stories” features work pulled from Andersen's 156 fairytales existing across nine volumes. Andersen's tales explore the hardship of life and champion resilience in the face of adversity, making his stories suitable for people of all ages. The design of this book pulls from the classic Fairy Tale genre, using ornamentation, frames, and highly stylized and whimsical typefaces. The dark blue cover with a subtle antique pattern creates a lovely backdrop for the typography and ornamentation. The inside of the cover features a dark and misty forest, lending to an air of mystery. Each typeface chosen interacts and compliments the theme and brings variety to each page. Illustrations accompany the introduction of each story, highlighting an essential part of the tale. The Illustrations are stylized and straightforward with a light antique line art feel. This illustrated collection consists of seven stories: the Littler Mermaid, Little Tiny Thumbelina, the Dumb Book, The Fir Tree, the Little Match Seller, The Brave Tin Soldier, and The Elf of the Rose. This Rendition of Andersen's tales celebrates the whimsy of the genre and the haunting tales that have become embedded in western culture. Bachelor of Design, DESN 317.Item Ecosystem map: a systemic view of Edmonton's transit system(2022) Cox, Lisa; Sperano, IsabelleEdmonton's Transit System (ETS) is a multi-faceted, rider-driven transportation system, making it an excellent candidate for Design thinking and System Mapping. ETS operates within the larger City of Edmonton System and has complex pain points regarding safety and security both within and outside of their direct control. The top of the map shows the system hierarchy and the interdependent relationship between the ETS System and the Rider Experience. Rider Experience affects riders' willingness to participate in the ETS System (Ridership), affecting the ETS System through funding and budget. The Community Partners, Emergency Services, and ETS Personnel chart within the hierarchy shows the top-level influence of these stakeholders within the greater ETS system. The second portion of the infographic highlights the Riders' Journey, illustrated by a Journey Map divided into each phase of ETS's System. Riders navigate various obstacles: Phase 1: Stop Experience, Phase 2 Station Experience, and Phase 3 - Onboard Experience. The final portion of the infographic is the inventory of touchpoints defined by phase within the ETS system. Touchpoints are categorized by interaction type: Information, Actors/Stakeholders, Safety Features, and Security Risks. Each touchpoint type is indicated through iconography, defining the different characteristics of that interaction. Finally, the User/Rider loops back into the top-level, outlining the interconnected nature of the System. Analysis of the ETS Ecosystem through a Design Thinking Lens and User-Centered approach enables a deeper understanding of the ETS System as a whole and how to best proceed when designing future solutions. Bachelor of Design, DESN 445.Item Morphology mockup(2019) Agustin, Kayla; Bury, Anna; Cherkewick, Kessia; Cox, Lisa; Goos, Melaina; Joe, Alyssa; Kellough, Ashlin; Pacher, ConstanzaMorphology: A Visual Exploration of Dialogue in Literature, is a project of DESN330 Typography II, a course in the Bachelor of Design at MacEwan University, taught by Assistant Professor Constanza Pacher (MDes). In this experimental typography project, students visually translated an assigned short story into a two-page layout that challenges convention. With the overall goal of enhancing the meaning of the written text through visual devices, students focused on the nuances of language and speech in dialogues. The project encouraged students to explore alternative ways to organize the page, all while maintaining the legibility and readability of the texts. The resulting piece is a collective publication, which was professionally printed in January of 2020. In addition to designing their own spreads, a group of volunteers worked together in conceiving the name of the publication, as well as designing covers, and front and back matter.Item Morphology: anthology of dialogue: a visual exploration of dialogue in literature(2019) Agustin, Kayla; Bury, Anna; Cherkewick, Kessia; Cox, Lisa; Goos, Melaina; Joe, Alyssa; Kellough, Ashlin; Kraemer, Anna; Larochelle, Coralie; Lockwood, Cole; McDonald, Alyshia; Richmond, Nick; Shields, Summer; Skogstad, Emma; Ta, Greta; Wine, Emma; Pacher, ConstanzaMorphology: A Visual Exploration of Dialogue in Literature, is a project of DESN330 Typography II, a course in the Bachelor of Design at MacEwan University, taught by Assistant Professor Constanza Pacher (MDes).
