Hayden Nagin

LOUISIANA STATE UNIVERSITY

Hayden is a senior graphic design major at LSU, also minoring in photography. His work encompasses branding, publications, illustration and film photography. Hayden is a Libra. As such, his work often strives to find a balance between opposing elements, be they contrasting themes, materials or aesthetics. When not hunched over a computer burning his retinas to a crisp finessing Bézier curves, he can often be found in bed listening to music, or at the movie theatre, shoveling obscene amounts of popcorn into his mouth.
