Sol Bourdeau García – 2023 Portfolio
My 2023 portfolio, which includes work from my 4 years at Ringling College of Art and Design!
Hi, I'm Sol!
I am a designer and animator who recently graduated from Ringling College of Art and Design, with a major in Motion Design and a minor in Graphic Design. I enjoy minimalist design; design where every element serves a purpose, modular design, typography, and playful color palettes.
For the past two summers, I’ve worked as a Design Student Summer Freelancer at Nickelodeon. I'm excited to start as a Design Intern at Gretel this July!
A little more about me; I was born in Puerto Rico, and currently reside in Virginia. I love to eat, bake, and cook pretty much anything but Puerto Rican food will always be my favorite!
Thanks for taking a look at my portfolio! :)
Dear Tati,
This project was my senior thesis at Ringling College of Art and Design. I wanted to make a meaningful piece that I would dedicate to my grandmother. I asked my family where they see my grandmother in their daily life, I then visually illustrated, designed, and animated their narrations.
This project was split into two subprojects, Explore and Evoke. For Explore, I experimented with different design styles. The primary focus was on visual exploration, authenticity, and aesthetic appeal. For the main project, Evoke, I selected multiple explorations to develop and used them to create my final piece. My goal was to show experimentation, self-expression, and a pursuit of an individual aesthetic while evoking an emotional response from the viewer.
Hall of Femme
With Art of the Title, create a title sequence along with internal graphics for the documentary film Hall of Femme. Game-changers, rule-breakers, and power-players, this 9-part documentary series shines a spotlight on the most influential women in the history of modern music.
Our solution was to address the subject head-on, and visually illustrate the game-changers, rule-breakers, and power-players in a tough, grungy design style with bright energetic colors, within the 9 chapters.

Awarded a National ADDY Award for this piece in 2023.
FutureProof 2023
Explore mood, tone, and novelty in branding to create the identity and opening titles for FutureProof 2023, the Motion Design Conference at Ringling College of Art + Design.
At Ringling, students learn everything from stop-motion animation to 3D animation, and even though they are very different they are all considered Motion Design. Embracing Motion Design’s unified variety, this concept uses as many colors and geometric shapes as possible while successfully keeping a unified style. The colors/shapes themselves are inspired by Florida, spring, and celebration.
Branding package was chosen as one of the 3 finalists for FutureProof 2023.
Awarded a Palm ADDY Award for this piece in 2023.
