UNDERGRADUATE BIOLOGY PRESENTATIONS

LIPITOR MODE OF ACTION

For my Cell Biology Laboratory course, I chose Lipitor for the term project focusing on a drug’s mode of action. All models  were made using Blender, an open-source 3D modeling software. This was an individual project presented to a live audience. 

SLIME MOLD

I chose slime mold as the topic for my presentation for the lecture portion of Cell Biology. The presentation features vector illustrations and animations that describe the experiment of the journal article by Tanya Latty and Madeleine Beekman: Food quality and the risk of light exposure affect patch-choice decisions in the slime mold Physarum polycephalum. https://www.jstor.org/stable/25661018.

GRAPHIC DESIGN FOR LARGO PUBLIC LIBRARY

LIBRARY OF THE YEAR PHOTO OP

Largo Public Library was awarded the title of 2018’s Library of the Year by the Florida Library Association. A celebration was held for patrons to express the library’s gratitude for their continual support of library programs and services. To add an interactive element to the event, I made custom augmented reality photo filters using Blender and Facebook AR studio.

The Celebration features the library’s logo as a party headband with cascading confetti dots. 

The Librarian has a stack of books on the viewer’s head and typical librarian cat-eye glasses.

HELP US GROW SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGN

Pins and magnets were hand-made as a promotional gift to increase Largo Public Library’s followers on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. For each account followed, a person could receive a pin or a magnet. Real pressed flowers were used in each button and magnet, making each gift unique.

WELCOMING WEEK DONATION DRIVE

The Welcoming Week Donation Drive seeks to increase awareness of the challenges faced by refugees in Pinellas County. During the month of September, Largo Public Library collects household necessities, packages them by theme in laundry baskets and coordinates their receipt by local nonprofit organizations. I worked closely with the Outreach Department in the development of the supporting materials.

GETTING STARTED BROCHURES

Each brochure contains detailed instructions to getting started with the variety of digital resources available with a library card.

Each pamphlet has a unique color palette to help the viewer distinguish between services. Photos were recolored and edited to fit each pamphlet’s color scheme.

WELCOME TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD POSTCARDS & MAGNETS

In partnership with the Circulation Librarian, I designed  promotional postcards to reach out to new local residents. The  postcard’s warm sunlit imagery positions the library as a welcoming space in the community. When a new resident brought the postcard in and signed up for a library card, they received a matching magnet that lists the library’s opening days and times.
