My senior thesis, "Graphic Design and Painting: How Painting and Graphic Design Connect, Differ, and Influence the Future", is a blend between research paper and publishing design. My main goal of this project was to blend my major and minor into one compelling thesis. However, as I was completing the zine portion of this project, I realized that I had grown a great appreciation for publishing design as well.
