One of my favorite mediums of graphic design is all of the detail that goes into CD design. Not just album covers, but all of the intricacies of a CD. I have redone one of my favorite songs’ CD single; Ex Girlfriend by No Doubt. I did my best to keep the band’s integrity as well as my own personal style, and I am proud of the result.

This project is like a caricature of my own personal style. I am so inspired by the media of the early 2000s, and in this cover I wanted to articulate that. Using edgy photography, creative typography, vivid color and alternating effects, I created an exciting magazine cover that I knew would succeed at drawing people in.

The following is my own personal branding. I have spent so much time perfecting my brand, knowing that as a designer it is so important and representative of my artistry. I created something that I am truly proud of. I made sure to keep it simple, with a pretty strict color scheme and not many varying symbols. Little details like the "r" in Brody and the "L" in Lyons connecting as one transformed my name into not just a name, but a logo.​​​​​​​

In this design, I have exercised simple graphic design principles to create a marketable product. I utilized simple design concepts I practiced in my business card design, while also attempting mastering packing design.

I created this project to show diversity in my portfolio. Obviously, I am no stranger to color or excitement in design. I wanted to create something classic, marketable to the masses, sleek and simple.

In my Intro to Sculpture course, our first assignment was to create a small sculpture using found objects. Examples included sticks on rocks, stacked spoons on stools, and traditional household items. Instead of following those examples, I chose to create a sculpture that told the story of what a specific person may have left behind. I was pleased with the result, and it received positive feedback online. I later used my Photoshop skills to turn the sculpture into album art for an artist, and someone has now asked to use it for their next single.

For this exercise, I wanted to put skill and effort towards mastering the art of a single cover. I think single covers are some of the most underrated ways in promoting a song and giving its audience a taste of what is being sold. So often I feel that a single cover doesn't match the integrity that the single itself does. In this instance, I took a few songs that I am very familiar with, and decided to reimagine their single covers. I am in no way insinuating their originals are not great in any way! I just wanted to put my own twist on these songs that I love!

Creating designs where art and music come together is my favorite part of being a graphic designer. I've had the opportunity to work with several emerging artists, each bringing their own unique ideas and challenges. In January 2025, Walter Miller gave me full creative control to design promotional materials for his upcoming album, University View. This project was incredibly inspiring, and I’m excited about the possibility of collaborating with him again. My first ventures into album design were for Nicholas Hollywood Tetreault and Brittany Crandol. Seeing my work on major streaming platforms was a surreal and unforgettable moment. That feeling continues to drive my passion as I take on new projects, with more album art releases on the horizon!

For this piece, I wanted to feature something that displayed my more creative, right brained, and artistic side. For one of my OCC classes, we were encouraged to make self portraits with a scribble pattern incorporated, and I absolutely went for it. This was at a time where I had worked on my own face for so long in the original portrait, and I had grown so sick of my own face. This messy, chaotic piece represents the beauty in the chaos, and I am so proud of it. It is a true outlier in my work, which is typically clean and concise.
