In the time they've been together, they have traveled and moved together all over the country. This postcard Save the Date illustrates their journey. The couple wanted a little play off the "Meet Me In St. Louis" where the wedding will be held. All the city illustrations were custom selected and designed for Erin and Chris. http://annmaryliu.com/Theater-Poster http://annmaryliu.com/following/annmaryliu.com/Theater-Poster Sun, 25 Sep 2011 14:39:21 +0000 Ann Liu Alcasabas / Designer 1867562 <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/138891/1867562/24_annliulubaposter.jpeg" border="0" width="600" height="919" width_o="600" height_o="919" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/138891/1867562/24_annliulubaposter_o.jpeg" align="left" /> Visiting artist Luba Lukova came for a workshop to create a poster for playwright Howard Pinter's "No Man's Land". The mysterious play uses the conversation between two men to dissolve the line between reality and imagination. http://annmaryliu.com/Wired-to-Care http://annmaryliu.com/following/annmaryliu.com/Wired-to-Care Sun, 25 Sep 2011 14:39:16 +0000 Ann Liu Alcasabas / Designer 1863894 <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/138891/1863894/annliu_w2c_cover.jpg" border="0" width="473" height="670" width_o="473" height_o="670" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/138891/1863894/annliu_w2c_cover_o.jpg" align="left" /> Wired to Care is a compelling mix of science, business and storytelling. I designed the cover for authors Dev Patnaik and Peter Mortensen of Jump Associates. Throughout the book, the authors establish a case on how and why business can benefit from empathy. http://annmaryliu.com/Graphic-Design-Thinking http://annmaryliu.com/following/annmaryliu.com/Graphic-Design-Thinking Sun, 25 Sep 2011 14:09:51 +0000 Ann Liu Alcasabas / Designer 1864235 <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/138891/1864235/43_annliugdtfrontback.jpeg" border="0" width="600" height="358" width_o="600" height_o="358" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/138891/1864235/43_annliugdtfrontback_o.jpeg" align="left" /> MICA Graphic Design MFA students and faculty have published a series of books about design in partnership with Princeton Architectural Press. The fourth title in the series, Graphic Design Thinking: Beyond Brainstorming, was released Spring 2011. It was written, designed, and produced by GD MFA students enrolled in the Publishing Workshop course in Spring 2010. I was part of the small production team assigned to complete the project over the summer of 2010, fine-tuning the layouts and typographic systems and preparing final edits for publication. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/138891/1864235/process.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="449" width_o="670" height_o="449" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/138891/1864235/process_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/138891/1864235/3419ideasform.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="449" width_o="670" height_o="449" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/138891/1864235/3419ideasform_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/138891/1864235/3419final.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="449" width_o="670" height_o="449" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/138891/1864235/3419final_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/138891/1864235/detroit.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="449" width_o="670" height_o="449" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/138891/1864235/detroit_o.jpg" align="left" /> http://annmaryliu.com/Key-Portraits-Site http://annmaryliu.com/following/annmaryliu.com/Key-Portraits-Site Tue, 16 Aug 2011 17:44:14 +0000 Ann Liu Alcasabas / Designer 1870076 Created as an archive for my MICA GD MFA Thesis exploring the visual and symbolic meanings behind keys.

I designed and letterpressed each invitation, rsvp and thank you card. The envelopes were hand-addressed with the surprise of a silkscreened pattern liner as the letter was opened.

A geometric interlocking building shape was designed to add dimension and balance the visual texture of the map. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/138891/1867229/map_close.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="1005" width_o="670" height_o="1005" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/138891/1867229/map_close_o.jpg" align="left" /> http://annmaryliu.com/Diamonds-Screenprint http://annmaryliu.com/following/annmaryliu.com/Diamonds-Screenprint Tue, 16 Aug 2011 02:38:48 +0000 Ann Liu Alcasabas / Designer 1867216 <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/138891/1867216/diamond-smallerv2.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="652" width_o="670" height_o="652" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/138891/1867216/diamond-smallerv2_o.jpg" align="left" /> A six color effect achieved from a three color screenprint on gray paper.

I screenprinted triangles on top of squares to achieve optical layering and a simple message in type. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/138891/1867090/ymo_closeblk.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="447" width_o="670" height_o="447" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/138891/1867090/ymo_closeblk_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/138891/1867090/ymo_closeorg.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="447" width_o="670" height_o="447" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/138891/1867090/ymo_closeorg_o.jpg" align="left" /> http://annmaryliu.com/Thank-Hoo http://annmaryliu.com/following/annmaryliu.com/Thank-Hoo Mon, 15 Aug 2011 23:30:27 +0000 Ann Liu Alcasabas / Designer 1866113 <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/138891/1866113/thankhoo_lg.png" border="0" width="670" height="361" width_o="670" height_o="361" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/138891/1866113/thankhoo_lg_o.png" align="left" /> The above letterforms are a result of material explorations with toothpaste and combining vector illustrations with a studiomate's over the course of 48 hours. As repayment for the exchange, I created a custom pennant Thank Hoo, including one of her favorite animals—the wise owl. See some of the material and illustrative explorations below. Overall a great workshop with visiting artist Keetra Dean Dixon. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/138891/1866113/pennants_web.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="378" width_o="670" height_o="378" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/138891/1866113/pennants_web_o.jpg" align="left" /> Process <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/138891/1866113/annliu_stealing.png" border="0" width="670" height="197" width_o="1476" height_o="434" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/138891/1866113/annliu_stealing_o.png" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/138891/1866113/annliu_toothpaste.png" border="0" width="670" height="209" width_o="1415" height_o="443" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/138891/1866113/annliu_toothpaste_o.png" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/138891/1866113/annliu_swatchbldg.png" border="0" width="670" height="313" width_o="1425" height_o="666" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/138891/1866113/annliu_swatchbldg_o.png" align="left" />
