SPVA Design Team
SPVA is the School of Performing and Visual Arts at the University of Southern Mississippi. I was honored to be selected to be a part of this design and marketing team, because it’s some of the best of the best students at Southern Miss. On this team, I was under the direction of the professor, a creative director, and an art director. I served as a senior designer creating lots of motion ads and branding for events. Being a part of this team made me realize how important working with a team can be and understanding roles and delegations. This team creates social media content, advertisements, branding and identity for the areas of art, design, dance, and theatre. Take a look at USMartdesign !
Big shout out to the professor, Jacob Cotton, for leading and educating this team and pushing us to create really nice projects! To Madison Copeland for being a great friend, designer, leader, and Creative Director! To Travis Cumbest for being the Art Director of the motion graphics team and creating high quality work, making me push myself to be half as good as him! And to the other members Madelynn Payne, Hannah Cantrell, Christian Gammill, and Keely Trail for being talented designers on the team, giving great feedback, and creating great work!
Below are some of the projects I designed and created, along with the help of other team members.
