MEET BRENDAN!

What is your class standing? Senior.

What is your favorite font? I’ve always enjoyed writing in Avenir Next.

If you could be any type of animal, what would it be and why? I would want to be a cheetah. They are fast, efficient, and smart.

How much sans would a sans serif sans if a sans serif could serif sans? I would guess about 37 sans.

What is your favorite flavor of ice cream? Anything with chocolate in it. Anything additional like brownies, cookie dough, mint, or caramel are an added bonus.

Who is your favorite graphic designer and/or favorite art movement? Anything associated with Bauhaus has always spoken to me.

What made you want to be part of AIGA? I wanted to join a club that was relevant for my field. Being part of an organization that is a great networking opportunity across the whole country opens up many doors for the future.

If you could have any super power, what would it be and how would you use it? I would want the power of super speed. Getting from one location to the next can save time and I can do good with it like Barry Allen.

What made you chose graphic design to be your major? I originally came to Oregon State University as a pre-physical therapy interest. I realized that it was not really what I wanted to do with my life during my first year here. I took a few graphic design classes while I was in high school and I have always been one with the computer and the design programs. Once I thought more about joining the graphic design program, the more the idea became a reality. I could also see myself doing design in the future.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years? I want to either be an in-house designer for a company or to be part of a small design studio. I do not quite see myself working for a large company, running my own design studio (yet), or being a freelance designer.

Do you prefer Crunchy or Creamy peanut butter? The only true answer to this question is crunchy. Creamy is for wimps since it is all about the texture.
