Native Pathways

Jonathan — Fri, 24 May 2019 04:42:56 +0000

The American Indian College Fund (AICF) Native Pathways to College program had a stack of resources and research from staff and college students participants. As a way to share this knowledge for future students, the editors provided a vision and content.

Based on discussions, notes, and sketches, we set out to layout and design Native Pathways: A College-Going Guidebook. With supplied photography, the AICF style guide, and my illustrations, Native Pathways is being distributed to tribal colleges and higher education organizations & institutions with Indigenous college & high school students.

2018 DU New Beginnings Pow Wow

My collaboration with the University of Denver (DU) continues. My familiarity with the student organization, Native Student Alliance, at DU grew and we were able to work more closely for the marketing collateral of the pow wow.

2018’s theme was a revisit to a 1989 film called Pow Wow Highway. It lives today among many Indigenous people as a cultural icon, especially in North America. The poster, flyers, banners, and t-shirt designs play on the movie title and movie poster.

While completing my Master’s degree, word about my skills and artistry reached out to a couple of departments on campus. Projects began with a logo design and t-shirt graphics. Since graduating in 2012, my work has continued and I have collaborated with various departments on websites, marketing collateral, and illustration projects.

As one of the Graphic Artists at Sky City Casino, I developed promotional graphics, advertisements and motion graphics. As part of the marketing team, we oversaw various enterprises of Acoma Business Enterprises such as Big Game Hunt, Travel Center, Hotel & RV Park, Food & Beverage, Tour De Acoma, and, of course, the casino.

As a Web Developer at San Juan College, I developed graphics and web updates for student programming and events. The Transfer Center ran several student programs where effective communication was needed for on-campus promotions, email, online student portals, and website presence. Print and web event campaigns included large banners, posters, flyers, bookmarks, invitations, webpages, web banners, web newsletters, and digital posters for campus widescreen monitors.

Bureau of Indian Affairs

I was asked to bring new look to the Division of Energy and Mineral Development’s (DEMD) marketing collateral. The DEMD is a division of the Bureau of Indian Affairs and we were glad to lend a hand to their sustainability efforts. The work included trade show banners and various brochures. They wanted to highlight their office and wind projects in renewable energy.

Various marketing collateral was created for the Institute of American Indian Arts, a tribal college in Santa Fe, NM. I worked with the Admissions department and other school departments to promote the art school. Photography was provided and I took liberty on its usage in the various brochures, magazine ads, newspaper ads, folders, student handbooks, catalogs, and posters.
