The concept was an app that allowed users to input the odd ingredients they had leftover in their fridge, and the app would generate a recipe based on what you had. After creating a design guide I was responsible for creating each individually screen and putting them into InVision, building the haptics and transitions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d561100f75cf90001c877a1/1612505368607-NST9EBLSTP9MUU645TJX/47E4A195-FAE7-469B-8F0D-18E6FA8FDBFF.jpeg poster & illustration - Wear Your Mask! A poster I was commissioned to create to encourage people to wear their masks. The client asked for an illustrated poster with a bold title to grab people’s attention. Inspired by children’s illustration I drew various people, and then designed my own font to have them calling out to wear a mask. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d561100f75cf90001c877a1/1573109659335-IROP35VGED5W5VSGD8YH/bauhaus_4.jpg poster & illustration - Boston to Bauhaus For this project, I was tasked with creating a poster for a talk about art residency the Administrative Director of Emmanuel College Artists would be giving at Bauhaus. The design goal was to create something eye catching and crisp that promoted the intercultural theme of this talk. After various editions, this was the final result, nodding towards the history of Bauhaus through the color overlay and curved text, while still being modern. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d561100f75cf90001c877a1/1573109004659-GOZRIUM9UTBORTR8I9RL/Bauhaus_1.jpg poster & illustration - Boston to Bauhaus (alternate) This poster was also made for the talk at Bauhaus about art residencies, however it was not the final piece. This poster focused heavily on the history of Bauhaus, their use of primary colors. overlay, white borders and simplistic design. Although it was not chosen as the final design it still resulted in a clean, eye catching icon. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d561100f75cf90001c877a1/1603230412124-XO91KS5DEFIQAZ0H9YLX/pass+it_il.jpg poster & illustration - Swipe It Forward This poster was created for a program called “Swipe It Forward” offered by Emmanuel College, where students are able to donate their unused meal swipes to food insecure students. They already had informational posters around campus but wanted something more illustrative based in hopes of garnering more attention to the program. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d561100f75cf90001c877a1/1582745785531-59SFHXVL2IITXWTOB6VE/2+logo.jpg poster & illustration - Viper Tattoo Logo Creating our own company, we were tasked with designing simple logos. For this one, I designed an illustrative pictorial logo meant to look sleek and clean. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d561100f75cf90001c877a1/1582745785577-Y3X6CYLO9HZTZCWRHU0Q/logo_port.jpg poster & illustration - Alchemy Logo Another hypothetical logo I designed, this one for Alchemy brewery in Vermont. When designing this one I based it off of alchemy symbols, like the one for air which replicates an A. Again I wanted it to be simple and clean. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d561100f75cf90001c877a1/1632282686501-VMOV4QDYG8209NRII7ON/7751CFD5-E03D-4999-ADCC-D3E6D0A89FC3.gif poster & illustration - Aquamarine Logo The shortened “A” logo for the business Aquamarine. The client designs earrings out of wire, with one pair resembling an orange and another the moon, which I reflected back into these designs. I animated these designs for added interest. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d561100f75cf90001c877a1/1632282802886-KXSWQ26UY2UD1Z8WGYS9/26247131-D68F-47DE-AC18-29E5E95D4AD7.gif poster & illustration https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d561100f75cf90001c877a1/1620070659599-5JK3XZWN3ZTKEPMWTCSL/IMG_0125.jpeg poster & illustration - DnD Character Design A piece I was commissioned on to design four characters for a Dungeons and Dragons podcast. The players described how they wanted their characters to look but otherwise left all design choices such as color palettes and style to me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d561100f75cf90001c877a1/1620070539872-NTI2XEL93D9TSWM7NO4M/IMG_0126.jpeg poster & illustration https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d561100f75cf90001c877a1/1620070539912-BELBPCKFJZVOXND289IA/IMG_0127.jpeg poster & illustration https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d561100f75cf90001c877a1/1620070540711-SQ48P67C0R9M4KYCQT8Y/IMG_0128.jpeg poster & illustration https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d561100f75cf90001c877a1/1620070540977-R7GL4H9ADA487NF2BW1G/IMG_0129.jpeg poster & illustration https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d561100f75cf90001c877a1/1632291070931-6WPMCG198TFTUOFSOU2W/Untitled_Artwork.jpg poster & illustration - Aquamarine Logo design for a modern jewelry business, where the client asked for a bubbly typographical design. Although the client decided to move in a different direction, I was able to finalize this variation. I enjoyed the deep color palette of this and the variation of the full name, to the simply “A” logo (as seen below). https://www.kaitlynkillion.com/new-page-2 daily 0.75 2019-11-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d561100f75cf90001c877a1/1574450165637-MV98C5C9WP1A2L09TOC7/FINAL_9.jpg photography This was another photo taken at sunset in the same stairwell that my original photos were taken in. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d561100f75cf90001c877a1/1574447454812-J31ZTAG9Q5PALX75RS09/Hannah+For+Print_WF.jpg photography - Hannah This photo, along with “Moe” were taken while practicing portrait shots.

These photos were all taken separately at sunset, pieced together to make one cohesive image. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d561100f75cf90001c877a1/1574447942802-RR3C3QH26VPS1A6EOI8Z/Bridge.JPG photography - BU Bridge While out with friends we came across the entrance to this bridge that looked worn down and unused, and decided to walk around. While sitting down I found this angle and took a quick photo, which ended up being this. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d561100f75cf90001c877a1/1574449996652-ARGCXS4TMS3ZKQ1S11BO/FINAL_6.jpg photography For my project “Suns” I centered all of my works around the theme of beginnings and ends, and how as things end, just like the day a new one follows. I visualized this through sunrise and sunset, this one taken at about 5 am. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d561100f75cf90001c877a1/1574449993625-TZ98P70T9P8095BH6MLY/FINAL_7.jpg photography This photo was also taken around sunrise, a close friend asleep in bed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d561100f75cf90001c877a1/1574449987494-LPT5GRGGCYHR4TZHDJWH/FINAL_11.jpg photography This photo was taken around sunset in my friends apartment. This was one of my favorite photos, having the composition split between the brighter kitchen and darker bedroom, showing how the day will progress. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d561100f75cf90001c877a1/1574449987417-5BD2N0TR25MMT06XSEYS/FINAL_12.jpg photography This was taken the same day as the previous image.

The cover opens with an overall red tone, shifting between orange, yellow, green, blue and purple in either the illustrations, headers or accents to subtly hint at the rainbow. The logo on the back acknowledges the history of LGBTQIA+ individuals, the triangle recalling the icon of the pink triangle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d561100f75cf90001c877a1/1573763968284-O1MFXSP770O0TX65OS81/Magazine_PRINT3.jpg print https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d561100f75cf90001c877a1/1621893593848-88UT5G2W42SKPG3OJ1P0/Magazine_PRINT9.jpg print https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d561100f75cf90001c877a1/1621893254225-66ZU97IAANZWMIOYBP45/IMG_1359.jpeg print A project where I was tasked with picking a product and reimagining how it could be package. I decided on boxed hot chocolate, focusing on the packaging of marshmallow’s and how to include more. To solve this I made the bottom of the box separate, containing all the marshmallow’s, with the tab for the hot chocolate mix stored in the back of the top box. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d561100f75cf90001c877a1/1621893254240-8YGLQC8SK04Y5U1VOWGZ/IMG_3440.jpeg print https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d561100f75cf90001c877a1/1572037700095-RQCFRFQDL67PPI8ICOQ7/DSC_0034.JPG print This reimagined the book jacket design for Cormac McCarthy’s novel “The Road”. After reading the novel I focused on the imagery of unbearable heat and the worn, gritty feeling the story evokes. The original jacket was a plain black with simple text, which is why I wanted to redesign it, adding color and texture. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d561100f75cf90001c877a1/1572037736446-7T2BLTTQTIJAJXW7H7SK/DSC_0041.JPG print https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d561100f75cf90001c877a1/1589567694141-PJ18VR63ZLHVENAR1HUG/IMG_1885.jpeg print https://www.kaitlynkillion.com/new-page daily 0.75 2019-11-17 https://www.kaitlynkillion.com/in-between daily 0.75 2020-05-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d561100f75cf90001c877a1/1589935320159-ZZBPK7XBT16DXU0GVYLU/Killion_3.jpg in between https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d561100f75cf90001c877a1/1589935323317-5TK2SJDN1TUDFGW7DL3E/Killion_4.jpg in between https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d561100f75cf90001c877a1/1589935326057-8PB02U4QNH8ATXFILRM7/Killion_6.jpg in between https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d561100f75cf90001c877a1/1589935082279-BVF1AQ56DD2JHG3FUV6N/Killion_1.jpg in between https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d561100f75cf90001c877a1/1589935410417-S2XYOM0C1CNJVR9MGR14/Killion_2.jpg in between https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d561100f75cf90001c877a1/1590187932359-5X1VZCRCVAEOGDZQ0UUP/In+Between+Process.jpg in between https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d561100f75cf90001c877a1/1590188086239-YDO5R5E1KY5OGNGJ8KZ5/In+Between+Process3.jpg in between https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d561100f75cf90001c877a1/1589935484555-XFHNOCI0B0RWYW25CTZK/Killion_5.jpg in between
