Will Truran

I have been working as a commercial artist, concentrating on graphic designer since 2010. During this time I ran my own clothing brand, worked in a small agency as a UI/UX designer, developed large format displays for Tylenol and Band-Aid, designed tshirts for Harley-Davidson, aided P&G develop tech-based home advancements, as well as worked out of my own studio where I have helped many small brands develop their aesthetic. Most recently I have accepted a role as Assistant Professor of Graphic Design at Old Dominion University and run my studio out of Norfolk Virginia. Outside of design I enjoy rock climbing, snowboarding, going to the movies, playing Dungeons & Dragons, and creating content with the Mof1 Network.

SPACE POSTERS

is a project that encompasses a captivating series of animated posters designed in a Futuristic User Interface (FUI) style reminiscent of the immersive interfaces seen in science fiction films. The primary aim is to bridge the gap between our contemporary achievements, often overlooked in the hustle and bustle of today's world, and the allure of a blockbuster summer movie. I firmly believe that through attention-grabbing posters, NASA and other space organizations can rekindle the sense of wonder that once enthralled children during the historic moon landing era.

The poster creation process begins within Adobe Illustrator, where meticulous drawings and precise positioning lay the foundation, all while keeping motion in mind. Subsequently, these artworks are imported into After Effects, where they are brought to life with dynamic animations and an additional layer of captivating effects. Additionally, my workflow now incorporates Blender, a powerful tool that allows for the creation of immersive scenes, enriching the storytelling aspect of each poster with added depth and dimension.

Searching for Savanna

is a personal style exploration, utilizing the article Searching for Savanna by Pacific Standard . The article covers the topic of missing and murdered Native American women. I am thankful for publications that will write hard hitting and educational articles like this one. Written by Mona Gable and originally published by Pacific Standard. Both the font, public sans, and columned layout symbolize the cold and authoritative nature of the government’s role. The illustrations feel violent as they break through the layout like those raising their voices for the killed and missing. The illustrations compliment the writing. Each based off a person or event that brought intense meaning and purpose into this piece.

Spell Dice

An original spelling game where players spend points to buy dice with letters on them, they then roll their dice to see which letters they can use to spell a word to earn more points. It's a new experience based on traditional principles. A game that combines chance and knowledge. In addition to developing the game and designing the packaging, I am also developing a mobile first companion site which will hold the rules and provide a way of digitally keeping track of your score.

DETAILS


Our podcast is where design nerds go to get nerdy. In each episode, the main crew plays DnD, often alongside a guest designer.

Branding

The branding has had to evolve as the show transitioned from audio, to video, to live streaming. Though the core marks stayed consistent, their application and supporting materials had to adapt to the new stories being told.

Twitch Frames

Trying to stay ahead of the curve has meant continual growth and pushing our presentation to match the standards of the designers involved. The intent is for our animated frames add value and interest for our viewers.

Telling an audio story through visuals is a great way to expand the experience and bring it to new platforms, like Instagram.

EMERGENCE CHURCH

is working towards impacting their community. With their programs that range from substance recovery, therapy, and food drives we can see great change coming from their open doors.

Emergence

DETAILS


Branding

Branding for Emergence is unlike any other company or brand I've worked with. I am almost always creating logos for a one day event or series of events spanning only a handful of months. This requires a system that is not only relatable, but also attention grabbing.

The logos are often replicated on t-shirts, wall graphics, projections, or postcards. The versatility of each logo is tested when projected 5ft wide on a wall or 2in tall on a postcard.

Print

Shirts, posters, printed collateral, and so much more. Print is not dead, the impact of a physical item still holds power. Most projects for Emergence end up in a physical form.

Social

Social media is not only a great way to communicate ideas. It can build off of the experiences people are having in person. This allows the audience to experience a concept in person and have it follow them for days or prepare them for an event down the road.

Installation

One of my favorite things to do with Emergence is their large format installations. I work with them from concept to creation. The Elijah/Elisha consisted of hundreds of cut pieces of paper stuck to the wall with thousands of pins. This created a dimensional art piece people were excited to take pictures against.

YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT: NOW GO LIVE IN IT

is a project exploring how fast food and takeout is not only impacting our physical health, but the health of our environment. Each poster started by scanning the packaging of each meal and then collaging it within Photoshop. This body of work was brought together as a zine, printed and hand bound in my apartment.

KEYWORDS


Zine Scanned Imagery DIY Book Binding

DETAILS


Why

During the height of Covid I was living in Upstate New York. The lockdown was strict and I found myself eating a growing amount of food from a drive through. I then moved to Nebraska where the situation became even more dire. As I put on weight, I also found myself under a mountain of wrappers and napkins. In that moment I realized my actions were not only effecting my health, but also my environment.

Process

Each poster, that would later become the contents of the zine, started by eating a meal. I would then proceed to clean off the packaging of grease and mustard. Those materials were then brought to a scanner where I manipulated the position and rotation of each object as the scanner proceed to capture it's image. The last step was bringing the distorted imagery into Photoshop where I created each composition.

Zine

I wanted the zines to have an impact that would stop the viewer and make them think about what they were consuming. To accomplish this, I separated a handful of the posters into to layers, printing one on paper and the other on a semi transparent vellum. This allowed the user to manipulate the images in the same ways I manipulated the scanning process. Finally a striking red waxed thread bound the zine.

HOLOCAUST POSTERS

is poster series with the goal of breathing new life into old concepts. They needed to grab eyes from a distance and attract younger audiences. All with the goal of conveying important facts about the Holocaust.

DETAILS


Topics

When deciding what historical topics to choose, the Holocaust stood out as particularly relevant. I focused on the Identification cards Jews were forced to carry and the incomprehensible amount of deaths that occurred in the concentration camps. It is as important as ever to be reminded of the evils we are capable of and strive to fight against them.

Aesthetic

Historical materials do not need to feel as if they came out of a text book. They should encourage further inspection and evoke a need to learn more. I utilized bold type and data driven compositions to create imagery that would stop passersby.

I LOVE STAR WARS

and let everyone know! This page includes two projects. The first being an infograph providing many details around the vehicles within the franchise. The second project builds off of the first and was a daily study of the User Interfaces found in the films and shows. I then took this study and assembled a poster.

KEYWORDS


Star Wars UI FUI GUI Illustrations Vector Infograph Plotter

LINKS


Video

DETAILS


Why

This was both an overly in-depth love letter to a franchise I've loved for near 30 years, as well as a way of finding new ways to consume media I've memorized. The UI study showed me how the latest films took inspiration from the original trilogy, how the prequels were being influenced by media around their release, and how the shows are now taking the previous UIs and reimagining them, but also build new aesthetics for their new stories.

Style

The infographic presents the data as if it were being shown through a ship's interface. This aesthetic propelled me into the UI series. The materials all take advantage of a mono line illustration style.

MALLMANN CONCEPT MENU

while watching Chef's Table, Francis Mallmann captivated me. To celebrate his work I created a menu and logo inspired by his episode.

KEYWORDS


Restaurnt Branding Menu Design Print Design Gold Foil

DETAILS


FORM

The menu utilizes a cylindrical form. This shape echoes the logs Mallmann uses in his cooking. The menus nestle within each other, representing tree rings, allowing a unique experience for the customer.

TYPOGRAPHY

I chose Reforma because like Mallmann it comes from Argentina. Designed in 1918, it was then refined over the decades. This acknowledgement of the past and effort to fit a modern context mirror Mallmann's cooking style.

NATURE

Mallmann's connection to nature is one of his most prominent traits. To incorporate nature a cross section of a tree hold's the menu and is to be placed on the table, waiting to welcome the customer as they are seated.

QUALITY

Mallmann above all is a master chef. With his unique approach to food comes the highest quality of dining. The gold leaf represents the silhouette of the Argentinian mountains, warmth of a roaring fire, and quality of his food.

PROCESS

The menus were printed on a thick watercolor paper stock. It was then soaked in water and curled into itself. After drying gold leaf was applied.

KEYWORDS

DETAILS


Warning

If you have contemplated or struggle with self harm, please reach out to The Crisis Text Line now.

Experience

The work, as viewed, is a live streamed video feed of a monitor that contains a white background and a black symbol. The symbol slowly descends as the background gets darker, revealing a paragraph of text, and eventually engulfs the symbol. If the viewer hits the like button, the symbol and background reset.

Setup

The setup, as seen in the photographs and video, consists of an Iphone hosting an Instagram Live that is streaming a screen with a website displayed. The website has a webcam pointed at the Iphone. The webcam actively monitors the phone for the hearts that appear when a user "likes" the event. The website was built utilizing the javascript library P5.js

Edit

Edit 5-11-22:
Ran a second stream, with minor text styling making the word "LIKED" stand out. This was in an attempt to act as a queue. One person liked the stream resetting the setup, but I do not believe it was anything more than a follower jumping in and liking before they left. One viewer mentioned he thought it to be a social experiment, but didn't know what was happening.

Edit 10-24-22:
I took a break from the project to think about how to encourage participation. What I am going to try next is a green pixilated smiley face that turns into a grey frown. The art is referencing both the "face" from Nickelodeon and NeoPets. The face will also share speech bubbles as if interacting with the audience.

Homepage

Each floor of the Whitney is an amazing experience. You enter a large open room, overwhelmed by the caliber of work filling the space. When your eyes lock onto a single piece of work, you approach it.

My homepage recreates how they presented their art and presents my work in a large open space.

Project Detail

After you approach a work in the Whitney, all other works disappear as your eyes absorb the details. For me this piece was My Egypt by Charles Demuth.

Once you click on one of my works all the other pieces disappear, allowing you to focus on the details of the project.

Project Info

If the artwork impacts you, you can move away from the work and read the Object Description.

If my work captures your attention, you can read about the project's details by clicking the Project Info button.

Features

To create a unique experience my website offers a cursor that interacts with the colors and grows when you pass over an interactive element. The site can also be experienced in three different modes. There is a dark mode, light mode, and party mode. The party mode generates a random color for the background. The modes all effect how the work throughout the website is presented. Clicking these modes will also generate the hex value in the footer. If you love a particular color you can copy it to your clipboard by clicking the icon.
