2026 Student Project Showcase

Monster Gras! is a 3D, first-person action game set inside a lavish 1920s mansion in the midst of a Mardi Gras celebration. Playing as a monster hunter, you must track the beast using your specialized hunter vision, dodge its relentless attacks, and wear it down with a dart gun as it grows progressively stronger throughout the fight. Once the creature is subdued, secure it with your net gun to save the soirée before chaos takes over.

The Reading Railroad Public Library at 2000 Hamilton Street is a multi-level civic facility inspired by the corridor's rail transit heritage. Under dynamic, daylight-filled rooflines, the design integrates a vaulted central reading hall, an upper-level café, and public landscaped grounds.

Barista Express is a realistic 3D kitchen hero prop study focused on hard-surface modeling, high-fidelity texture creation, and subtle environmental storytelling. Developed to demonstrate advanced texturing techniques, the project features custom textures authored in Photoshop, bump and normal maps for embossed branding and fine surface wear, alpha channels for precise interface decals, and multi-material shading across brushed metal, chrome, matte rubber, and dried milk residue.

Cathedral Vintage Radio 1930s is a realistic 3D hero prop study focusing on complex material differentiation and texture mapping. Modeled after early 20th-century cathedral-style tabletop radios, the project showcases realistic texture creation authored in Photoshop, accurate bump and normal map workflows for deeply carved wood and fluting, alpha-masked speaker grilles, and distinct surface responses across tarnished brass, glass, aged varnish, and molded knobs.

Alpine Canal Quarter is a game-ready 3D environment capstone blending 17th-century Dutch and Flemish townhouses with a rugged alpine backdrop. Built to current studio specifications, the scene showcases modular kit design, shared trim sheets, PBR materials, and cinematic dusk lighting optimized for real-time performance.

Design a unified three-volume jacket series for Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, Robert Louis Stevenson’s The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde, and Gaston Leroux’s The Phantom of the Opera using typography as the primary expressive and structural element.

HUD ORBIT is a futuristic sci-fi smartwatch interface system inspired by mecha heads-up displays. Developed over three weeks using an AI-assisted Figma workflow, the system condenses high-density tactical telemetry into three distinct, glanceable circular watchfaces. The resulting interactive prototype features responsive tap interactions, ambient animations, and clean small-screen legibility.

This project explores how natural form and biomimicry can inspire industrial design and interactive home lighting. By observing the structural elegance of tulips in nature, designer Viktoriia Golovey translates organic botanical geometries into a sound-controlled ambient lamp.

Course Intro: Students continue to develop their skills in printmaking by focusing on multiple-plate color printing, advanced intaglio and monoprint techniques, and multi-media stencil printing. Students create repeatable matrices, edition prints, and employ commercial printing methods.

This proposal presents a vision for transforming Everett Station into a vibrant civic destination inspired by Everett’s waterfront heritage, Pacific Northwest landscape, and Coast Salish cultural connections.

This cumulative course blends traditional analog art with digital environments, exploring how illustration evolves across multiple formats. Students will use illustrated elements to create traditional and non-traditional product designs while engaging in focused, supervised studio time. Through independent study, team collaboration, and guided critique, students will create and refine projects in preparation for their final thesis exhibition.
