Maria was one of the most colourful students in this years graduating class. She was an energetic force who was excited about exploring visual communication in how you do it as well as why. Her projects touched on a gamut of visual mediums including comics, graphic design, and web. As expected with student work, she explored the craft and creative methodology of these mediums but she also seemed to often question the underlying purpose and use of the media. A particular theme in her work that comes to mind, is illustration as a method for social discussion or protest.

For this project Maria teamed up with another student Macy Hippsley to explore how people interact with an image.
