Throughout my senior year of high school, I led a team of peer engineers to conceptualize, plan and prototype AutoBlinds. This is one of my largest projects and I am very proud of my team and I for completing the project. The project was completed in a senior capstone course of Project Lead the Way. The goal was to incorporate our knowledge of multiple engineering disciplines learned in the four classes prior to improve the quality of life of others. We defined our own market, approach, and design constraints. The design goals and background are best described in the design proposal document. The symposium presentation describes a summary of the process used to create and perfect the prototype. AutoBlinds provides the ability to open and close their blinds based on a clock setting, an ambient light sensor, or easy to use buttons. The device is an accessory to the customers window blinds. This is an advantage to some solutions that are already on the market; the user does not need to replace their blinds in order to gain additional features. https://www.montese.design/fb2019 daily 0.75 2022-03-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ddf38733e9c044c1ab8eea8/1633226012380-IKA45DN90O2DHHZUYABT/Group+3+%281%29.png Facebook - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ddf38733e9c044c1ab8eea8/1633219082439-G6A1EPSPZU4P2WDHKQFG/Screen+Shot+2019-08-06+at+8.58.png Facebook - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ddf38733e9c044c1ab8eea8/1633223580621-KHJ8X6XSY93Y2M9Z40FS/Group+1.png Facebook - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ddf38733e9c044c1ab8eea8/1633226304844-T21736K593LT65LQQA88/Group+4.png Facebook - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ddf38733e9c044c1ab8eea8/1633223490002-1M9LRRS6VO79EK1J0VFS/pasted-image-7.png Facebook - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ddf38733e9c044c1ab8eea8/1633218501188-L4OKK7PAQKTEKSK6J3Y8/pasted-image-3.png Facebook - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ddf38733e9c044c1ab8eea8/1633223399063-WR97E949KHUQX94PFDUK/Group+2.png Facebook - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ddf38733e9c044c1ab8eea8/1633225978757-YPCQPKOS7T32BQIU7YV8/Screen+Shot+2019-08-06+at+11.34.png Facebook - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ddf38733e9c044c1ab8eea8/1633218581475-IUQGHB43LOQA5Q0PV5VS/pasted-image-4.png Facebook - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ddf38733e9c044c1ab8eea8/1633219054986-4R1ZEXALHYW8KC81U0JM/Screen+Shot+2019-08-06+at+9.05.png Facebook - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.montese.design/home daily 1.0 2024-05-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ddf38733e9c044c1ab8eea8/3359867f-8daf-41d8-a470-19b4cfba5133/Final.jpg Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ddf38733e9c044c1ab8eea8/1575071311402-4TLTOPVWF0L7KY27SVVE/Facebook-Wordmark-Gray.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ddf38733e9c044c1ab8eea8/1607205543641-PVDQFC42QJ635HT263LT/Group+102+%281%29.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ddf38733e9c044c1ab8eea8/1631420234066-QLF8F2RUZ00UMZJPB3AS/Frame+49.png Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.montese.design/marque daily 0.75 2021-09-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ddf38733e9c044c1ab8eea8/1575069878266-KDAKDJDX07UNT5M7FL7W/60s-1.jpg Marque https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ddf38733e9c044c1ab8eea8/1575069656179-TBSN62U0BF3W0B9U115B/Mary+Shepard-3.jpg Marque - Adapting an Iconic Decade The central challenge for my spread was the task of adapting a decade that was defined by the organic expression into a magazine made for a digital age. Essentially, the photography needed a platform to speak for itself, yet the page design needed to form a nuanced narrative. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ddf38733e9c044c1ab8eea8/1575069689031-KJN0SB6N79L7BFEYMO49/Mary+Shepard-4.jpg Marque - Telling Our Story Inspired by simple layout design from authentic 1960’s magazines, we adapted stylized typography that give the reader a sense that we ripped these pages from Life’s 1960’s catalog. The goal is to stitch together the editorial and photography into an elegant, well-paced look into 1960’s fashion and publication. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ddf38733e9c044c1ab8eea8/1575760970481-2Z6FIPC1XRWXUTBTGNG4/custom+%E2%80%93+1.png Marque - Color & Tone I analyzed the use of color in the magazines from the 1960’s to better capture the tone and perspective of the designers during that time. The most important idea in the color is to use more washed out, high value tones to create the illusion that you are looking back in time. With these colors, the pages allow the models’ skin to pop more, and allows the typography to stand out more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ddf38733e9c044c1ab8eea8/1575762357910-SVK513UETX8AK4P9EUZD/image-asset.jpeg Marque - Layout To pull all the other aspects together, I sought out to design pages that felt immersive and dynamic. By guiding the reader’s eye across the editorial and photography, there is a better sense of immersion into the theme. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ddf38733e9c044c1ab8eea8/1575758455098-H205CR9EPEESNKMUM8V0/Annotation%2B2019-12-07%2B173930.jpg Marque - Typography In choose the typographic style for this spread, I needed to develop guidelines that would maintain the theme of free expression that defined the 60’s, while being elegant enough to let the photography be the focal point of the pages. I found a great balance of fonts for titles and body text that immerses the reader in a perfect 1960’s style. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ddf38733e9c044c1ab8eea8/afc7d313-4b20-4bf6-8c85-f02966a39df3/0001.jpg Marque https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ddf38733e9c044c1ab8eea8/5253621c-1e69-4ea2-ae1a-e87c9608ae3e/0002.jpg Marque https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ddf38733e9c044c1ab8eea8/a872e470-1c21-4a94-9d90-8af96e92639f/0003.jpg Marque https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ddf38733e9c044c1ab8eea8/e83b8660-317c-44ae-a44a-7818a9942fe9/0004.jpg Marque https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ddf38733e9c044c1ab8eea8/e51cf113-da7f-49ae-842d-3fdae55486c6/0005.jpg Marque https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ddf38733e9c044c1ab8eea8/92c5fa0c-45ec-4025-9825-9dc32525674e/0006.jpg Marque https://www.montese.design/portfolio daily 0.75 2019-12-13 https://www.montese.design/reddit daily 0.75 2022-02-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ddf38733e9c044c1ab8eea8/2f25c961-09cb-4412-9f13-c7792321b82a/Title+Slide.png Reddit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ddf38733e9c044c1ab8eea8/243b728e-56d3-4339-9279-5956dd292bcc/Slide+16_9+-+21.png Reddit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ddf38733e9c044c1ab8eea8/9bfcb70e-75fd-45fb-bfda-65c24f459e30/Slide+16_9+-+20.png Reddit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ddf38733e9c044c1ab8eea8/99fda7fb-79d9-4efc-a80e-2c12fc54cf87/Slide+16_9+-+35.png Reddit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ddf38733e9c044c1ab8eea8/2137e5fd-7e40-4abf-bbfb-e4b0623a1092/Slide+16_9+-+23.png Reddit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ddf38733e9c044c1ab8eea8/75a33cf7-fe6d-406f-bf74-5ffd86f0cf2a/Slide+16_9+-+22.png Reddit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ddf38733e9c044c1ab8eea8/09b96b15-d1d5-43a8-a600-f80882f69ade/Slide+16_9+-+27.png Reddit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ddf38733e9c044c1ab8eea8/80c77ce0-7b33-42cc-a4b6-7de3f8cfffb3/Slide+16_9+-+28.png Reddit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ddf38733e9c044c1ab8eea8/a0771727-da7b-40e7-ad5f-b29348c9e4b6/Slide+16_9+-+24.png Reddit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ddf38733e9c044c1ab8eea8/277d0a33-29fd-495f-94eb-fb365150a1c6/Slide+16_9+-+29.png Reddit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ddf38733e9c044c1ab8eea8/ed605d2e-136b-4601-8bfa-45c6c6fe3ff4/Slide+16_9+-+30.png Reddit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ddf38733e9c044c1ab8eea8/827d3084-e5d7-4b7f-81ef-3d62b07292df/Slide+16_9+-+31.png Reddit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ddf38733e9c044c1ab8eea8/88e24060-f7f0-4b74-a153-6f96a07717b9/Slide+16_9+-+25.png Reddit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ddf38733e9c044c1ab8eea8/d851ce4a-e4a2-42db-a48a-4ca329fb3c70/Slide+16_9+-+32.png Reddit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ddf38733e9c044c1ab8eea8/e5f315f0-2017-4e39-ba85-f01c3695182d/Slide+16_9+-+33.png Reddit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ddf38733e9c044c1ab8eea8/580d8488-87bb-4ab9-acaa-a86128a35c18/Slide+16_9+-+34.png Reddit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ddf38733e9c044c1ab8eea8/e0c1e375-5e74-4c42-92d7-78a117ec84e2/Slide+16_9+-+26.png Reddit https://www.montese.design/research daily 0.75 2022-02-10 https://www.montese.design/semesterly daily 0.75 2022-03-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ddf38733e9c044c1ab8eea8/55604783-1a14-4df7-8096-0fb6979321e7/Part+13.png Semester.ly -
