Blossom Jar Package Design
{ { {
Overview
Blossom Jar Tea Company is a new company sells the high quality tea, in 3 different varieties. Black, Green & White Tea, with different flavors and ingredients in each one. All aspects of the packaging is made of recycled materials, and is of course, 100% biodegradable.
Challenge
Create the identity and packaging for the organic tea company. Design the label, the logo, the packaging & the tea bags. Consumers will come to recognize Blossom Jar as a earth friendly, organic, natural & delicious tea company.
Solution
The name Blossom Jar was chosen because the tea itself is of the blossoming variety. When the tea is put into hot water, it blossoms into a beautiful flower. The tea would be sold in the pails to make it easy to carry. The instructions for brewing the tea are on the tea bag labels, and the ingredients are listed on the tag attached to the jar.

Type Cube Interactive Environmental design
{ { {
Overview
This type cube is designed for The National Museum of the American Indian, to be on display at the main lobby. The Museum was established in September 21, 2004 in Washington D.C.
Challenge
Design a cube that can be handled by visitors, and is in some way interactive. The cube must engage a few of the five senses, while the viewer is able to read all six sides of the cube. The type on the cube is to teach the viewer about the unique rainsticks of the Native American Indians.
Solution
The cube is designed based on the rainstick and how it came to exist, it’s origins and how it works. Inside the cube is a rainstick, so when the viewer picks up the piece, and turns it to read the different sides, the rainstick makes the sound of rain falling.

Va Va Vespa! Advertising Campaign
{ { {
Overview
Vespa was founded in April 1946 in Florence, Italy and has been and Italian icon ever since. Consumers recognize Vespa’s as a fun loving, exciting company, with their colorful scooters and their promotion of the outdoors lifestyle.
Challenge
Design an ad campaign that consists of three single page color ads, and one double truck ad. The ads would be printed in magazines, and at bus stops, subway stations and on billboards. Promote Vespa as a young, fun loving company, and reinforce these ideas to the potential consumers.
Solution
The images do not show the riders faces, so that the viewer could imagine themselves on the scooters. The ambiguity of the riders ads a hint of mystery to the image, creating an unexpected scene that is intended to keep the viewers attention.

Security Typographic Installation (Group Project)
{ { {
Overview
The word security was installed in front of the St Augustine Police Department, to be seen at Art Walk. The word was to represent the strong & stable building that it stood in front of.
Challenge
Design the letters of the word security, and re-create the entire word in a larger than life installation. Choose a small object to serve as a pixel that is also relevant to the word. The group chose to use packing peanuts because they are used to secure fragile packages, and are relevant to the word security.
Solution
By gluing 2 packing peanuts together side by side, one pixel is made. The word security was made of several hundred pixels, and the group used over 850 packaging peanuts to create the installation. The word was 3 feet tall and 12 feet long. By working together, Nick Anderson, Jill StClair & myself install the word larger than life in front of the Police Department.
