Weather Report

Weather Report from Dallas Hudgens on Vimeo.

This project was to develop a motion piece for a futuristic weather report for 4 cities during a 3 day weekend. We used the LATCH concept for organizing information (Location, Alphabet, Time, Category, Hierarchy). There are 3 parts to the video, and each part emphasizes one of the LATCH systems. I chose to emphasize Hierarchy, Time, then Alphabet.

Increse - Type in Motion

Untitled from Dallas Hudgens on Vimeo.

This is the second word for the Type in Motion project. The project was to animate a word to show its meaning. I chose to emphasize a increase in point size and mass.

Playful - Type in Motion

Playful - Type in Motion from Dallas Hudgens on Vimeo.

The goal for this project was to animate a word to show its meaning. We were given a time limit of 5 seconds. This project was also to familiarize ourselves with After Effects. I chose to animate playful in a slinky motion, like the childhood toy.

High Moderism - Blanton Museam of Art

This was a poster to highlight a period in graphic design history that would be featured at the Blanton Museum of Art. This also represented the specially designed buttons for the exhibition.

The Kitchen of Meaning - Mnemonics

In this project, we were to create a poster for an art exhibition entitled The Kitchen of Meaning. We selected a word that we were to use as the theme for the poster. My word was mnemonics, which are devices to aid in memory. I decided to utilize the military phonetic alphabet as they use it when remembering codes. I used this theme to create a confidential military looking document.

Flossing Teeth 101 - Instructional Design

This was for a project assigned in one of my classes. We were focusing on instructional design. I was to design a set of instructions for flossing your teeth. I choose to make my instructions for an audience of ages 16-40. I used all vectorized images for clarity. The specialty of these instructions is that they are adhesive and are meant to be placed on a mirror. This way it is convenient to read while flossing your teeth. The steps are also modular, so you can easily arrange them in any form. I also worked on product design with this project. I designed the packaging with the idea in mind that it would be something a dentist would give away at their office.

Type Speciman Book

TypeBookPages


In this project, we were to select a font for a typographic study. We were then to create a type specimen book highlighting the fonts features.

Design Culture Now

This is a poster I design to advertise a design conference for a project in my typography class.

Font Creation - Hangman

In this charrette, we were to make six letters of a font (ABCPQR) by using a grid and a binary system (either a black square, or a white square). This is the actual font I turned in for the class. I called this one Hangman because it mimics the post used to play the paper version of the word game hangman.

Font Creation- Roman

This is a charrette for my typography class. We were to make six letters of a font (ABCPQR) by using a grid and a binary system. We were only allowed to color in full blocks. This was a second font I had designed for the project and not the original one I submitted for the class. I was inspired by roman influences and tried to mimic that in this font.

Charrette - Distruption

In this charrette for my typography class, we were to choose a word from a list and display its meaning through imagery and typography. I chose "disruption" and decided to show how the word itself was disrupted by falling in a spiral pattern. This was not the final piece I decided to turn in, however I now believe it was better than my original.



This was my final piece for this charrette. I put a bump in the word as if someone had disrupted the continuity of the word by pushing up the middle of the word.
