HOMEADRIAN BUCKNER
Hello! I’m Adrian, soon to be graduated 4th-Year Visual Communication student and cheerleader at the University of Kansas, also pursuing a Certificate in Book Arts. As a design student I’ve found an appreciation for traditional physical printing processes, materials, & typography. In an industry that moves rapidly toward digital solutions, these hands-on processes have taught me the value of patience, intention, and craftsmanship.
Now, I approach design with a deeper appreciation for process & detail.
Finding ways to incorporate that texture, friction, specificity, and feeling into all of my design solutions. My portfolio is a collection of work that reflects my passion for bold typography, thoughtful composition, and tactile print/bookmaking. Glad you’re here, take a look around!
