In 2018, Channel 4 News conducted an undercover investigation into Cambridge Analytica to reveal their unethical tactics of spreading misinformation, spying, bribing, and collecting and analyzing personal data from social media websites like Facebook to precisely target and influence unwitting individuals to affect political elections throughout the world, including most notably the 2016 American presidential election.
As this important investigation and news coverage continued to release more stories, I wanted to create a hypothetical magazine cover for these major stories.
Part 1: "Cambridge Analytica Uncovered: Secret filming reveals election tricks"
Part 2: "Cambridge Analytica: Undercover Secrets of Trump's Data Firm"
"Computer science faces an ethics crisis. The Cambridge Analytica scandal proves it."

There are a few style frames done as an assignment for Ash Thorp's Learn Squared "Main Title Design" online class. We were given a list of fictional movie loglines and I decided to explore designs for "The Bends" based on the following logline:
"A time-traveling hooligan experiences psychological delusions after taking too many trips into the past and future."
I decided to depict the time-traveling between past and future through the use of colors where the name credits cross through. At first, the colors are more natural, feeling like hopeful blue skies, but over time, as they cross back and forth too many times, the colors progressively get more and more psychedelic and unnatural to represent the psychological delusions. The divide between the past and future start to blur more and the typography starts to disintegrate towards the end, hinting at the loss of control and sense of self or reality over time.

Inspired by CHVRCHES's "Death Stranding" song for the video game of the same name and wanted to capture that feeling of a relationship falling apart and the world feeling like it's ending—a dark moment filled only with the final fading light of a once beautiful relationship.

"Death Stranding" by CHVRCHES
You can take my heart
Hold it together as we fall apart
Maybe together we can make a mark in the stars we embark
And keep us together as the lights go dark
Let's open up to the sky, askin' it for closure
'Least we can say that we tried, but it's never really over
What will become of us all at the end of the line?
Will we live? Will we die?

On May 18th 2019, to celebrate UCLA turning 100 years old, Royce Hall was transformed into a canvas for a projection mapping show highlighting many of the people, moments and memories that have shaped UCLA over the past century since its founding.
I was very fortunate to have had a small part in working on this projection mapping show with the awesome team at Be Grizzlee. I came on the project towards the end to help with some design explorations for a couple remaining sections, helped finish up some design frames, and helped create many of the final assets to pass onto the animation team.
It was a great collaborative effort between many people including all those at Be Grizzlee, NoSLATE Productions / Kommune LA, the UCLA 100 committee, and many others.
I'm grateful to be a small part in making it, and beyond honored to be able to help celebrate UCLA’s incredible 100-year history.
