Drop Advertisement

A serious problem confronting millions of people every day is the lack of water. I became aware of the need when my Church began a program called Advent Conspiracy, with all the proceeds going towards solving the water crisis.

My response to this I created a campaign geared towards informing people of the problem. This is an image I created seeking to motivate people to take steps to solving this issue.

BFA Thesis: Michael Jackson Shrine

I graduated in June 2010 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Digital Arts. My thesis for the program explored the similarities between religious icon worship with current era pop culture idolatry. The celebrity I chose to bridge the gap between the two was the late Michael Jackson. I designed stained glass windows in Illustrator, which I used to map a laser cutter to cut and assemble windows using clear, colored acrylic and MDF board. The three windows I created told the story of Michael Jackson's life from birth, his rise to fame and his decline into infamy.

I explain my thesis further on my site at http://paulcalvertdesigns.com/html/Portfolio/BFA.html

Invisible Charity Billboard

It's not well known that slavery still exists in the U.S. and that Portland sits on the crossroads of two major freeways, thus making it a hub for human trafficking.

This is a billboard I designed in Illustrator, then  mounted to an image in PhotoShop.

Thug Interactive CDs



 As an intern for Thug Interactive I designed four CDs to contain information for their clients. They were using blank CDs with sharpie written on them and they wanted something a little more professional. So I created four different CDs using their colors and grunge aesthetic for Design, Marketing, Strategic and Research information.
