Communication Arts (Graphic Design)

About

My name is Khang Nguyen, a Senior in Communication Arts, with an emphasis in Graphic Design (21'). Recently, I had the honor to be named Valedictorian of the Class of 2021. I gained significant experience thanks to my 2-year internship with Otis Design Lab and working in the Communications and Marketing Department. I was able to employ my knowledge of design, typography, packaging, and illustration for many internal projects for Otis's social media accounts, and real external clients, for instance, Jonathan Louis.

OTIS VIEWBOOK POSTER 2020-2021

This viewbook 2020-2021 cover art is a commission by Otis College of Art and Design Admission. Utilizing my skills of Illustrator, hand sketching, form making, and with the support of Sheharazad Fleming and Rebecca Todd, who are respectively a Creative Director and Graphic Designer of Otis Communication and Marketing department, the poster was successfully designed and published with the number of 18,000 copies as it is a new viewbook for the school from 2020- 2021. The Viewbook design won the CASE District 7 (West Coast) award for Best Design: Multi-Page Publications
When folded, the poster becomes a cover for the viewbook. It also has a pocket to keep any additional documents!

MA- a Podcast App

A podcast app that tells you spirtual stories of Asian culture. The interface of MA is inspired by a hot social media platform, Tiktok. The user will be exposed to different podcasts every time they log into the app. Additionally, there is a marketing campaign that comes along with the app to promote the launch of this new app. I utilized my skills of branding, UX/UI design, typography, animation, and photography to make this project.

The logo is inspired by the sound bar and the strokes in the type "MA". Besides, 4 is the death number in Eastern culture.

After researching the market, here is a chart of target audience for MA App.

A brief wireframe showing the flow of the app. From how users can scroll through different podcasts, and save their favorite podcast to their own library.

In order to promote MA, I want to host a contest which people will tell and record their own spiritual stories and send to us. I also created a filter that will make your surrounding look "haunting" so that the participants can use to film a background of their story record. The filter will be available on Instagram and Facebook to use, as these social platforms are very popular already.

Let's explore some podcast! I wrote the podcast story myself, and asked my friend Bella and Kathy to record their voiceover. The background music was composed by my bestfriend Kathy as directed by me!

I'm a Visual Artist

Besides being a graphic designer, I am an avant-garde makeup artist- a Visual Artist. I use my face as a canvas to paint, and incorporate many different medium to visualize any concepts that I came up with. I shared a lot of my makeup artistry content on Instagram @khangphinn
