Graphic Design

Form and function in two dimensions: I compose elements into a cohesive, clear design to communicate my message. My designs make use of good graphic design principles in works such as scientific presentations, promotional brochures, and apparel.

car-cdr T-shirt

Everyone loves urban-looking blotchy T-shirts, so to appeal to those who would normally by Abercrombie's $25+ T-shirts, I designed this for them. Created in Illustrator, with Don Hertzfeldt-inspired characters. A lot have been already sold. You can purchase a T-shirt from Upsilon Pi Epsilon. Greg Krimer, a friend, penned the tagline as an instructor teaching Scheme to Berkeley undergraduates. Carolen is my model here. :)

SARS Coronavirus

SARS Coronavirus

Andrew Khemthong and I gave this review talk on Drosten et al.'s "Identification of a Novel Coronavirus in Patients with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome," published in 2003 shortly after the SARS virus scare.

Recombinant DNA Techniques: PCR and Restriction Digests

Recombinant DNA Techniques: PCR and Restriction Digests

My group and I presented results for the recombinant DNA techniques lab in our Cell Laboratory class (MCB 130L). I generated almost all of the graphics in Illustrator and Keynote and directed the overall design of the slides. Careful application of basic presentation techniques (such as "don't put a lot of text on the slide" and "tell us a story") ensured the success and smooth delivery of the presentation. This talk was delivered Fall 2005 semester.  read more→
