Logomark

PUNO (People United as One) PUNO's mission is to deliver uniquely designed products which serve a dual purpose; products that not only satisfy a basic need, but also contribute to the needs of the less fortunate through donations to charity with each purchase. The floral logo is designed with women in mind, and is rendered using a modular system of three sets of flower petals. The combination of vivid green and pink hues symbolizes PUNO’s strive for growth and freshness.

PUNO This logomark for PUNO is targeted towards males. The repetition of four rectangles creates a frame around the title. A basic square shape is repeated to form the word PUNO, and the number "1" is substituted for the descender of the lowercase 'p.' The color green represents new growth, and red for energy and stimulation, which together form an energizing logo.

MAKE OR DIE The black and white title of bold, capital letters created from a stressed sans serif font suggests the feel of a vintage, film noir movie title. The chalk texture further enhances the sketchy feel and interest of the illustration. The title, bled from the top of the page, mimics the skateboarder's face and composition.

DWNTWN These T-shirts were designed for DWNTWN, a skateboarding shop located in Southern California. After researching various clothing brands, current and upcoming color trends and styles, I developed designs with the following categories: pop culture reference, illustration, photographic and brand-centric. Black, white, grey, and red were integrated into the designs based on the company's top selling styles.

HERSHEY’S This Hershey’s t-shirt design was developed by associating the word ‘heavenly’ with the taste and image of chocolate. The graphic is made up of pieces of white chocolate that are repeated and given a metallic texture to mimic the image of a cross. The brown color of the t-shirt associates the viewer with chocolate candy. The Hershey’s logotype is combined with a serif font below the cross to complete the graphic.

FUTURA POSTER

This poster demonstrates how illustration can reflect subject matter while engaging the audience's participation. The distorted figurative illustration placed on an unusual sized template, featuring a balanced composition combined with high chroma colors, creates an interesting, energetic poster.

This Futura poster reflects the characteristics of the Bauhaus movement and its design elements, including the use of a grid system and geometric shapes within the design. The elements shifted at a 25 degree angle, displayed in vivid colors influenced by the pop art movement, make this a fun, exciting poster.

This poster is inspired by Gustav Klimt's painting titled 'Adele Bloch-Bauer II.' Klimt's trademarks including the use of gold and earth-tone colors, mixing floral, organic, and geometric patterns, and female subject matter is a direct reflection of his Gold Phase period of painting. A white, bold typeface in a centered composition is a nice juxtaposition to the busy patterns and imagery of the poster.

THE ZEROS INTERVIEW This two page spread interviews and documents the reunion of the 1970's Los Angeles / San Diego punk band, The Zeros. The spread uses a foundational two-column layout. Black and white photography, combined with a sans serif text and an unexpected pop of color, reflects the band's simple music style.
