Projects
Bring our Masks Home by Kirsten Simic
This was a project I did for DGL 105. We were meant to create a poster for a cause that was important to us. I'm kwakwaka'wakw and my great grandfather was a cheif of the Namgis people. His masks were taken during the Cramner Potlatch and were distrubted around the world. I wanted to highlight the importance of bringing the masks back home.
Novel Thoughts by Kirsten Simic
In typography we made magazines and I mine was called Novel Thoughts. It was made to be setup like a bookclub with multiple people's reviews on books, versus just one person's point of view.
Sky Central by Kirsten Simic
I created an app design for UI/UX called Sky Central. It was an app that made streaming services more accessible. You could adjust the brightness, background volume, add subtitles, etc universally to all of your apps based on each family member in your household.
Snow to Surf by Kirsten Simic
My husband is a physiotherapist and each year his clinic does the snow to surf. For my video and sound project I created a video following along to him preparing for the snow to surf relay. He did the trail run portion of the race.
Animation Project (Unit 3)
For the animation project I made 3 different animations. The 1st was text that used gradient and keyframes to make the text colours move. I also added svg animations to create sparkles. The 2nd animation is a star outline and when pressed a star overlay comes out the midddle and a drop shadow, which makes it look like it's glowing. Lastly, the 3rd animation that is picutred above, i create a image mask of a photo i took for photography to look like a record and used animation keyframes to have it move.
SVG Project (Unit 3)
This animation simulates a lunar eclipse using layered SVG elements animated with CSS transforms and keyframes. The moon’s luminance is modulated with filter and opacity values that peak at totality, while individual stars use staggered nth-child timing to produce independent twinkle cycles. Position anchors, custom properties, and OKLCH colour values create a responsive, visually consistent night-sky effect.
