Description: As graduates of graphic design, eventually our main objective is simply to popularize the physical structure and scientific function of the human brain. With the help of our design, we try to transform the theoretical knowledge which was boring and intricate, into a form that is interesting and readable, so that it would attract a lot of people’s attention to finally realize our goal – to make them get interested in it and to increase their scientific knowledge. We divide the human brain into six parts: the control center of consciousness, automatic control center, the center of data processing, hippocampus, and the storage center. And through the visual form, we can make it clear to see that indeed, there are some obvious differences between men and women. However it not mean that we can’t become someone that we dream to be. The only thing that we need to do, is to do what we want to do, which we are very good at it, and do not be constrained by others.

In the sense that they are the purest materialization of our origins, the indigenous are that part of the Mexican population that has been maintained for centuries in scenic and physical aspect of how is the real Mexico, like Justino Fernández, Mexican Art (2009) said: "When we think of ancient indigenous art we think in a series of art forms diverse that belong to different times and places [...]. They expressed in their cultures their ways of living, of humanizing their world, and created their art works, which are an expression of their conscience, of his life, his vision of the world, physical human and divine [... ]." Craft refers to both the work of the craftsman (usually done manually by a person without the help of machinery or automatization), such as the object or product obtained in the that each piece is different from the others. In Guerrero the festivities are very important, (village festivities) such are the cases like "Day of Saint Santiago", "The Fiesta del Campo" among other festivities. In a traditional way, most Toritos (fireworks bulls) are carried by children and young people, chasing the people present in the event, with hunts, projectiles, sparks and other pyrotechnic fires. The objective of this image is to enhance the importance of Mexican traditions, the emotion that It feels like celebrating each of the festivities, the young people face the fears that are present throughout life.

Description: This metaphoric work is a reaction to the turmoil I see in the world and a reminder of, if not a call to, unity. I see fighting, posturing, and blaming between cultural 'tribes'. This exists on levels that range from the personal to the political. The line of these letterforms connect up with each other allowing for the text to create a physical connection from letter to letter, from phrase to phrase, indeed from language to language. The letters are holding hands and if one were to unravel the others would surely follow. The constant interplay between word and image has yielded especially fertile ground for my research and serves as the common thread connecting all my creative activity. My ambitions as a communicator are to reconsider the conventions through which we experience texts and images by way of exploring the simultaneously independent and interdependent nature of their relationship.

Monstrous creatures roam the halls protecting the loot they have hidden away from the world. Many heroes who have attempted the challenge and failed become prisoners; heroes must collect gems to earn their freedom." Every year at the University of Texas at Arlington the Art and Art History department offers the SEED summer workshop for a select group of high school students chosen from the surrounding Dallas-Fort Worth area. Students learn the creative process and techniques required to craft a work of art during an intense two week period. In the Summer, SEED students learned about game development and design by creating their very own mobile game titled Hobblestone. Hobblestone is a homage to the viral mobile game Crossy Roads. The basic template of the game was decided ahead of time in order to make the process more manageable and enjoyable for the students. Students sketched character and environmental concepts, built and textured three dimensional models, and composed the music. Free to play on Google Play and iTunes.
