Shonn Alves: capstone
(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2022) Alves, Shonn, artist
The artist's statement: I'm an illustrator and a graphic and interface designer. I've worked in the Adobe suite for almost a decade now, with an emphasis on vector graphics, raster illustrations, and layout design. I have been doing freelance work since high school, and for the last three years, I have been the in-house graphic designer for Colorado State University's exceptional Volleyball Team. I will have a BA in philosophy and a BFA with a concentration in graphic design by December of 2022. I tend to work closely with clients, with an emphasis on communication and clear intent in order to produce work that successfully meets all their demands in a timely and organized fashion. I do this by compiling all forms of relevant media into a mood/inspiration board in order to better understand the industry, philosophy, and current trends. This makes it much easier to capture the visual language that the client desires before producing any work. What follows are comps that better represent the desires and motivations of the client. In short, my design philosophy is to produce work that successfully captures and displays the desired visual identity and language of the client in the most modern and efficient way possible.
