New Victoria is a Blackletter typeface with a modern twist: Similar to its predecessors, New Victoria can be hard to read at smaller sizes due to its tall and narrow characters. However, it retains readability because of the lack of overtly ornamental, complex characters, and curved strokes. In lieu of these features, the abrupt and angled transitions between strokes (seen throughout the type), provide a cleaner and modern aesthetic that complements the heavy vertical stress (most prominent with the lowercase letters c and o) and significant differences between thick and thin strokes (use of hairline and heavy-handed strokes) characteristic of Blackletter type first introduced by Johannes Gutenberg with his 42-line Bible in the 15th century.

New Victoria has heavy vertical stress, which places pressure on the vertical axis of letters like the lowercase o, resulting in thick vertical strokes and thin diagonal strokes. New Victoria has finials on some lowercase letters (see the lowercase e and c ). However, instead of being curved or tapered ends, they are sharp and angled for a modern aesthetic. New Victoria uses hairline strokes throughout the typeface to accentuate the significant differences between thick and thin strokes. Hairline strokes connect to thick strokes.

Open counter: the area of a letter that is entirely or partially closed. For these characters the counters create a smooth circle outline.

Adobe Jenson AaBbCcDdEeFfGg HhIiJjKkLlMmNn OoPpQqRrSsTtUu VvWwXxYyZz Adobe Jenson’s lowercase “m” highlights the diagonal stress of curved strokes throuhout the typeface. The shoulder is a curved stroke that aims downward from a stem and serves as a bridge between vertical strokes. Adobe Jenson’s lowercase “a” has a piece that extends from the vertical stem (a serif of sorts). This is characterstic of old-style typefaces because this small touch is reminiscent of calligraphic pens, with its changes in flow and direction. The letter “g” includes many ornamental and defining characteristics of old-style typefaces: the loop is a closed counter below the baseline with changing weight strokes, the ear is a small stroke extending from the upper bowl’s right side, and the link connects the upper and lower bowls together with a tapered stroke.

PACIFIC NORTHWEST COLLEGE OF ART STUDENT PROFILES 2022 + MFA COLLABORATIVE DESIGN + MA DESIGN SYSTEMS

WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY | PACIFIC NORTHWEST COLLEGE OF ART

The MFA in Collaborative Design and MA in Design Systems start with the end in mind: to producing creative leaders who can make a difference in business, government, and nonprofit sectors. Students, faculty, partners, and clients work together on complex problems using a collaborative, systems based, humancentered approach.

Our curriculum takes students through current and emerging knowledge sets, including systems thinking, problem identification, stakeholder engagement, scenario planning, collaboration, visual facilitation, brainstorming, design research, rapid prototyping, cultural entrepreneurship, and creative leadership. Classes are held in the late afternoon and evening to accommodate early- and midcareer creatives who want to hone their design skills to drive positive change while continuing to work.

Students work with the most creative professional minds in Portland, Oregon—at the leading edge of creativity—and access new technologies and partnerships via our faculty’s national and international knowledge networks. Upon completion of one of these two-year programs, graduates leave with a project portfolio that demonstrates their ability to think critically and act entrepreneurially in rapidly changing environments. Graduates go on to launch successful programs, work for leading design initiatives and nonprofits, create thriving design consultancies, and work in higher education.

WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY | PACIFIC NORTHWEST COLLEGE OF ART

MFA COLLABORATIVE DESIGN EMPOWERING CREATIVE + CHANGE-MAKERS TO EXPLORE CREATIVE PATHWAYS IN DESIGN STRATEGY, DESIGN RESEARCH, AND MA DESIGN APPLICATIONS. DESIGN SYSTEMS

Share a fun fact about yourself or a passion of yours. A passion of mine is always helping other people help themselves.

What drew you to the Design Systems Program? I was drawn to the DS program after learning about the kinds of curriculum offered to help me fuse my engineering and art skills.

What are some of your current projects or hobbies, and how does your program impact them? My thesis research project is my current project for the DS program. The DS program influences the amount of research and deliverables needed during the process to graduate from the program. The amount of work required by the program is very stressful.

What are some of your favorite mediums, and why? Are there any you want to learn or experiment more with? Ink and marker are my favorite mediums because they are convenient to use, cheap to buy, and easy to maintain in my opinion.

After graduating, what do you see yourself doing? Once I graduate, I see myself healing with some much needed academic recovery. Then I will be working for a design firm in the Midwest and hopefully starting my own design practice.

Favorite color? Purple

What do you like the most about your program? How about PNCA? I like the possibility of my work making a positive impact in the world, especially in the black communities. I like the physical space of PNCA, I like the amount of resources the school offers its students, and I like the respectful social standing PNCA has within the design and art community.

Favorite food, drink, and book/ show/album? Pizza, Kombucha, and The Black Album by Jay-Z

What advice would you give to an incoming CD/DS student? My advice to give to an incoming DS student is to keep in mind the importance of maintaining the balance of self care while in school, to try your best during the program and don’t be afraid to ask for help, to enjoy and celebrate the moments of completing a project, and to take breaks and don’t over work yourself with the massive amount of work given in the program.

Do you have a website where people can check out your work?

Ameenah Carroll Design Systems (2022) 1

What drew you to the Collaborative Design Program? Design stuff and beyond! Big emphasis on the beyond part—what it meant, I didn’t really comprehend until a month or two into the program.

What are some of your current projects or hobbies, and how does your program impact them? Visual art, music production, and distance running. I’m currently in a band that plays shows a few times a month. School is the thing that gives me that gut feeling of guilt that deters me from working on anything personal. If I have free time, I should be working on school given how much I’m paying for it.

What are some of your favorite mediums, and why? Are there any you want to learn or experiment more with? Oil painting. The blend is just so sexy and comes pretty easily to me. This year I’ve been focusing on digital though, and I hope to cop a tablet soon so I can reap the benefits of not using a mouse.

After graduating, what do you see yourself doing? I could foresee things going one of two ways, (1) I could hop in on part of a design team in the advertisement/product development world, or (2) I could go the route of youth development—a sector I’ve plenty of experience already. There are a lot of cool programs dedicated to youth engagement, especially those of underserved communities here in Portland, and it would be cool to be on one of their teams. If not as a mentor/teacher/coach, then more administrative/program design.

Favorite color? Dark blue mixed with light grey

Diversity of curriculum, and my cohort of course! As for PNCA, I just love seeing what all the kids are doing—there’s so much talent and potential, it makes me want to cry.

What advice would you give to an incoming CD/DS student? Get familiar with Adobe Suite, maybe learn to code, and be prepared to excel in some (not all) classes. This stuff caters to lots of different abilities, and there’s no one right way to tackle it all.

What are your social media links? How can we follow you and learn more about your work? @FeatherCrestMusic

Anything else you want to share? Happy almost birthday, bud! (to Miguel)

Brendy Hale Collaborative Design (2023) 3

What drew you to the Design Systems Program?

What do you like the most about your program? How about PNCA?

I had an interest in UX/UI design, but I knew the field could be fraught with ethical dilemmas, and that many designers end up working on projects that run contrary to their values. I really don’t want to end up working somewhere like Amazon or Facebook... I figured that the CD/DS program could help me take my design interests in the right direction by teaching me to think critically and make connections with people doing work that I admire.

I love being in school! The creative energy here at PNCA is really great--it’s a real privilege to get to spend time thinking and making and talking and reading. Lots of people don’t get to do that, and even when I feel stressed I feel really happy to have the opportunity to be here.

What advice would you give to an incoming CD/DS student?

What are some of your current projects or hobbies, and how does your program impact them? I love to draw, paint, and just generally make things. I try to incorporate making/ craft in my work for the program as much as possible, mostly trying to build up my UX/UI skills where I can. That’s been hard for me this semester, because the pacing of the program is pretty fast, and I don’t often have time to deeply explore an idea and then create a tangible deliverable that has the thought and polish in it that I want. I’m going to take less classes next semester in the hopes of being able to work/focus more deeply.

After graduating, what do you see yourself doing? I’m trying to explore UX/UI stuff right now. My decision in joining the program was a lot about making a shift into the professional world and trying to get some financial security, which I’ve never had before. I think once I know I can do those things, I’d love to explore more broadly and see what kind of roles are out there. But right now I do feel a need to be pragmatic about graduating with the skills for a profession that I know pays well and is hiring.

Erin Fox Design Systems (2023) 5

This is only my first semester, so I feel like this is advice for me too, but I would say: try really hard to take the pressure off yourself and tap into what you enjoy about your work and your studies. It’s really difficult to learn or be creative in any meaningful way if you aren’t enjoying yourself.

Share a fun fact about yourself or a passion of yours. I fucking love horses. I’m a certified nonbinary horse girl, and I know it’s a weird thing to be obsessed with as an adult but I just can’t help it!

What’s your favorite dad joke?

I think I’m learning how to set boundaries around enjoyment. If the institutional pressures of academia are keeping you Do you have a website where from enjoying yourself and actually people can check out your work? learning, you’ve got to have an honest conversation about it--with yourself, your professors, your cohort, whatever IBM PLEX MONO-THIN ITALIC makes sense--and find a way to do things differently. Maybe that’s just a change in the way you think about your assignments, maybe it’s a shift in scheduling, etc.

A dad walks into a bar and says “Ouch!”

Favorite color? I like the colors in a field of wheat/ dried grass--pretty much every color is happening in a field of dried grass if you really look at it, it’s wild!

Favorite food, drink, and book/ show/album? I eat loads of sugar and I love it. I think my favorite drink is water from a garden hose. Joni Mitchell has been my top Spotify artist for the last 7 years in a row.

What drew you to the Collaborative Design Program?

What are some of your current projects or hobbies, and how does your program impact them?

I want to learn how to find solutions to chronic problems that marginalized communities face instead of just applying a band-aid (which many of the programs I have come across are). These band-aid applications often address a symptom of a much larger problem. But by critiquing systems, asking questions, and involving different perspectives, we can have a better approach to helping marginalized communities.

I’m currently in preproduction for a feature we’re hoping to shoot this summer. Also, I’m helping an artist with some mixed media for their art installation.

What are some of your favorite mediums, and why? Are there any you want to learn or experiment more with? I love film/video because there’s so much that you can convey with just an image and even more were a sequence of images. It still allows your audience to create their own ideas of what the art means to them. I would like to experiment more with physical / tangible art mediums that allow the audience to interact with physically.

After graduating, what do you see yourself doing? Maybe write a kids book or two, maybe produce horror movies, maybe work in a museum again.

Share a fun fact about yourself or a passion of yours. Plants, i’m a plant mama.

What’s your favorite dad joke? I only seem to get sick on weekdays. I must have a weekend immune system.

Favorite food, drink, and book/show/album? Matcha, chai. Honestly tea is such a vibe.

What do you like the most about your program? How about PNCA? Working with my cohort, they all have such brilliant ideas and I appreciate how they look at the world.

What advice would you give to an incoming CD/DS student? Get ready to question how you think and get ready to think creatively.

Do you have a website where people can check out your work?

Favorite color? Black

Hafsa Aden Collaborative Design (2023) 7

Favorite food, drink, and book/ show/album? What drew you to the Design Systems Program? I wanted a foundational design program where I could learn new problem solving and communication approaches. I don’t particularly want to work in design or be a Designer professionally, but I knew that I could apply design skills and methods to pretty much anything else and be more effective.

What do you like the most about your program? How about PNCA?

What are some of your current projects or hobbies, and how does your program impact them? lol I don’t have any hobbies since being pregnant. Just school and growing people.

What are some of your favorite mediums, and why? Are there any you want to learn or experiment more with? Not sure what medium applications you mean ... like any medium in general? I would like to experiment more with decomposing sculptures. Floral arrangements.

Since moving to Portland, I’ve tried to read Oregon-based writers and things inspired by Oregon. So Ursula Le Guin, Wild, Dune, etc.

Being around my creative, talented and fun colleagues and educators.

After graduating, what do you see yourself doing? I’m not ready to put this in writing quite yet.

What advice would you give to an incoming CD/DS student? Try to make as many mistakes as possible.

Do you have a website where people can check out your work?

I really enjoy photography, painting and gardening. The program has allowed me to explore my hobbies in unique ways, place more direction and intention on the work I’m creating.

The amazing resources and PNCA community :)

Fav food: mayonnaise and butter :) | drink: wine; | show: Dexter

What are some of your favorite mediums, and why? Are there any you want to learn or experiment more with?

What do you like the most about your program? How about PNCA?

Favorites: Film + Digital photos, charcoal, + paint. I would like to experiment more with printing and digital art because a lot of the work that’s interesting to me right now is created in a digital space.

The opportunity to express my creativity and connect with awesome people.

What advice would you give to an incoming CD/DS student? Take advantage of all of the amazing technology and equipment available at PNCA!

What are your social media links? How can we follow you and learn more about your work?

After graduating, what do you see yourself doing? I’m really interested in doing graphic design, photography and art direction.

Share a fun fact about yourself or a passion of yours. I have 2 cute hairless cats

What’s your favorite dad joke? Why do seagulls fly over the sea? Because if they flew over the bay, they would be bagels!

Katie Vellman Collaborative Design (2023) 11

What drew you to the Collaborative Design Program? The flexibility in being able to explore the areas of study that I was most interested in. Also the focus on social change work and the interdisciplinary nature of the program.

What are some of your current projects or hobbies, and how does your program impact them? A major current project is my thesis, which is called Public Spaces for Mental Health.

What are some of your favorite mediums, and why? Are there any you want to learn or experiment more with? I haven’t actually used this in the program yet at all, but I love working with clay. I love being able to shape something with my hands. I also love wood, and have grown to really enjoy using the laser cutter. In the future I want to explore how to create small immersive settings

Favorite color? Purple

Favorite food, drink, and book/ show/album? SZA-ctrl, Isaiah Rashad-The Sun’s Tirade, and Khruangbin-Texas Sun

What do you like the most about your program? How about PNCA? I love my (very small) cohort. I like that the program has opened up the world of design to me. I like the vision that it has shared. I love PNCA’s building, the facilities here, the people, the location, etc.

What advice would you give to an incoming CD/DS student? The program is definitely still trying to define itself and establish a clear identity. I think it helps to have some core goals going in of what skills you need to learn, and what skills you want to learn, and share these with professors and mentors. And what has really helped me is to talk to lots of different people from all over the place.

Traveling, gardening, eating really good food, working in the built environment, and doing participatory research

Maybe this is pretty obvious I don’t know, but people will literally respond to you when you’re a graduate student. Like...I have reached out to the randomest people that I felt there’s no way this author will actually talk to me, and they did! I’ve made a lot of connections in graduate school just by the nature of having the grad title and making the effort to reach out.

Share a fun fact about yourself or a passion of yours.

Do you have a website where people can check out your work?

After graduating, what do you see yourself doing?

Fun fact: I’ve never had my wisdom teeth removed (this fun fact will no longer be relevant after Dec. 9th)

What are your social media links? How can we follow you and learn more about your work? IG: @maddysf_design

What drew you to the Collaborative Design Program? I wanted to complete a program that could combine my interests together, as well as impact and inform my professional career. The interdisciplinary approach provides me the tools and knowledge to learn from my peers, challenge the status quo, and make more informed decisions.

What are some of your current projects or hobbies, and how does your program impact them?

After graduating, what do you see yourself doing? Actively involved in Portland’s art and music scene, and continuing to advance DEI efforts in my professional settings. I hope to blend all of my interests in everything that I do, as well as reignite my mentorship activities with local youth.

Share a fun fact about yourself or a passion of yours. Any of you want to freestyle? I make hiphop music.

What’s your favorite dad joke?

My worlds are always colliding, which is so cool! I currently work at OMSI as their Talent Development & Inclusion Strategist, and the team-based and systems focused courses we are taking are exciting because they impact how I do my work; I can utilize techniques in a real-world setting and fine tune them for new contexts.

How do you cut a pizza without a pizza cutter? You use Little Caesars.

What are some of your favorite mediums, and why? Are there any you want to learn or experiment more with?

Tamales / Hot Chocolate / Lupe Fiasco’s Tetsuo & Youth

I really enjoy working in InDesign and Illustrator because they are additional tools that assist my creativity, even though I’m currently experiencing a sharp learning curve in comparison to my peers. On the other hand, I’m super excited to learn more about digital/coding mediums since I love the potential of technology and how it can positively impact our futures.

All of the collaboration, and that we are all coming from different walks of life!

Favorite color? Red!

Favorite food, drink, and book/ show/album?

What do you like the most about your program? How about PNCA?

What advice would you give to an incoming CD/DS student? Make sure to get your work/life hours scheduled as soon as you can. Time management is key + paired with strong communication with your work team(s) and professors.

Miguel Rodriguez Collaborative Design (2023) 15

Anything else you want to share? :)

What drew you to the Collaborative Design and Design Systems Programs? I was drawn to the anti-disciplinary nature of the program, the diversity of student backgrounds, and both the student and faculty desire to create impactful work and meaningful connection in the world.

Favorite color? Aqua

Favorite food, drink, and book/ show/album? Food: Artichokes, drink: fresh passionfruit juice (no sugar added), book: “The Most Beautiful Book in the World”

What do you like the most about your program? How about PNCA? What are some of your current projects or hobbies, and how does your program impact them? Current projects include data art installations, color analyses of Amazonian leaves, and reading about climate justice. The discussions that come with teaching and mentoring in the CD/DS program inspire me all the time.

What are some of your favorite mediums, and why? Are there any you want to learn or experiment more with? Favorite media include creative coding, watercolor and India ink, the use of clay to explore patterns in nature, and adventure as a medium. They all have the capacity to harness both organic and graphic qualities—a balance I seek. I would love to create data-driven and generative typography, become better at woodworking and design my own furniture, and learn how to screen-print, among a long desirable list of other creative endeavors.

I appreciate the people, the shared values, the desire to create positive and transformative change in the world.

What advice would you give to an incoming CD/DS student? Be insatiably curious, do earnest work, be critical of traditional systems, follow your passions, stay true to what makes you uniquely you, open yourself to growth and new skills, take care of yourself, and seek to do good in the world.

Do you have a website where people can check out your work?
