My name is Frederic, but everybody calls me Fred. I'm currently a 3rd year student in Micromedia at Vanier College and I'm expected to be done by December 2018. I joined this program with the intentions of going into the video game industry, but after 2 years I've got no clue what I really want to do after I graduate. I took a liking to teaching so that's probably what I'm aiming for. Apart from that, enjoy my portfolio!
So obviously my main goal here is to make a good portfolio in my eyes, but also other peoples eyes. The work I'll be putting up here is work I am either proud of or enjoyed doing. I'll be using this as an application to university or a job, whatever works to me. I am planning on becoming a teacher in graphic design/Micromedia, this portfolio will show what I can offer.

I was tasked in making an ad for a company while only using one word. The word given to me was Inspired, and I immidiately thought of Adobe. Creativity is a big focus for Adobe and their programs allow us to do that exactly.

This was a personal project of mine. I made this during the time War for the Planet of the Apes was in theatre. At the same time I was reading 1984 by george Orwell, and I've decided to combine both. I took the big brother aspect from 1984 and the monkey to make a Revolution styled poster.

Trapeze is a made-up school of Circus Art. I got tasked in creating a logo for their company. I had complete creative power so the sky was the limit. I decided to go for something on the more simple style, which also works in black and white. The colours picked represent a circus tent but also energy, adventures and fire. Warm colours invite people in, especially kids.

After creating the logo, we were asked to also create a guideline that properly represents the company. I showed how to preperly use the logo, the exact codes for the colours, the fonts and more. A pdf will be attached if you want to see the final result.

I have this hobby of making posters of a celebrities face with a sometimes over-the-top phrase above their heads. The 2016 American elections were a dream come true for me. Trump and Hillary, both horrible candidates ran for president. So I made two posters showing off something that stood out the most about them during the elections, Trump being the wall and Hillary the emails.

I was tasked in making a magazine cover for a magazine I picked but the main article had to be about a current news. Trump, being the great president he is, is always on the news. I picked a broader subject so I wouldn't have to make allusion to only one of his many mistakes.

This is a personal project I took up on. My phone autocorrected Quentin Tarantino's name to Quentin Tarantula, which I then decided to make a logo to match along with it. I used this to practice my logo making skills. I created the illustrations in illustrator and made sure they were simple yet effective enough to show what I wanted them to.

This is the same concept as Quentin Tarantula, my phone changed Speilberg's name to Spill a bird.

I was tasked to find a company that would best fit the emotion "Tender Moment." My partner and I found that KFC could both fit the requirement and also add a touch of humour. We followed the same style of their ads to make it more believable.

Conservatoire Henri-Dutilleux is a school located in France that teaches music, dance and theatre arts. They wanted a new logo for a new building. Our task was to create a logo that would respect their criteria and express their ideal as a company: to promote creativity. I chose the light bulb as it is universally known as the symbol for creativity and made it look like a stained-glass mosaic.

Bibi Graetz is a wine maker in Italy. We were tasked to create a booklet to show his passion and creations. We used information provided from interviews and pictures that came along. We had to create a clean layout that works well with the pictures and fit in the demanded number of pages. The logo on the front and back were created by me.
