Project Overview
Cheer Up Bucko™ encourages people to press on through the hard times in order to achieve their goals and motivate them to cheer up the world, one Bucko at a time. It is about creating a community of support during the times we need some extra motivation. This project was my senior thesis at Laguna College of Art + Design in 2012.
Dedicated to my beautiful mother who fought so hard and never lost her amazing personality.
