I am a graduate of Minnesota State University Moorhead with a degree in Graphic Communications
Senior Project
Our senior project was a year long class. The first semester was mapping out each piece and the second semester was designing and executing each piece. We got the choice of picking a mock business that we conceptualize or any business that is already established.
I chose to create an urban country bar that I named Feral. I made my friend Emily Mingo the owner of the bar. The three bars in the logo in place of the 'E' represent the three horses that Emily owned who originally were not trained, which is where FERAL came from. She put in the time and effort to train them herself so that is why we chose to have the name be a tribute to that time.

We had judges and underclassmen come and critique our Projects.
I was able to print nearly all of my pieces at my father's business in Detroit Lakes, MN, Sunrise Machine & Tool.
The sauce bottles I got from Zorbaz in Perham MN, and printed vinyl labels out of Sunrise Machine & Tool to display on the bottles.
I made bumper stickers that the restaurant would sell and to hand out at my presentation. I made them at Sunrise Machine & Tool also.
I also had metal signs made from Sunrise Machine & Tool using a waterjet to be able to display within the restaurant.

For a Desktop Video class we were assigned to create film and edit a music video. I chose Gun Powder & Lead by Miranda Lambert. I do not own the rights to this song, it was simply made for a school project.
