Portland Yetis
SPORTS WAYFINDING & ENVIROMENTAL GRAPHICS
Design Scope
Design a sports team in a city that doesn’t have any competing professional league teams. Create a primary, secondary, and tertiary logo with a complete branding guide. After the brand is established, create five wayfinding and one environmental graphic for the stadium. The substrates for each should be researched and detailed blueprints created. Once the blueprints are created, use Adobe Photoshop and Dimension to create 3D models.
Design Brief
The city of Portland Maine has no professional Hockey team, so the Portland Yetis were created. Three logos and a wordmark will be used throughout the branding. There are also three patterns that can be used on any collateral. When it comes to the wayfinding elements, the three substrates that will be used for the wayfinding are vinyl cling, expanded PVC, and paint. The environmental graphic wall will be ten feet by twenty feet. This entire wall will have acrylic that is raised on top of it. Then the graphics will be a vinyl cling on top of the acrylic. For the foot imprint, the acrylic will be cut out to the size. A collateral piece was created of a potential hockey puck and jersey that the team will use.

Prison Issue Posters
SOCIAL ISSUE POSTER SERIES
Design Scope
Design an 11x17 social issue campaign in Photoshop and InDesign, consisting of three distinctive yet related posters. The design must include each of the following components used creatively: effective communication of social issue, a minimum five images per poster (cannot be repeated), typography, texture, memorable tagline (headline, description, etc.), and description or contact info for assistance. Use no copyrighted material. Use high-resolution stock photos from the internet, scanned line art, original artwork, and/or original photos.
Design Brief
The topic and research used for the social issue posters were the issues in the American prison system. The most common problems are the overcrowding of prisons, the treatment of the prisoners, and the conditions they are put into. When thinking of thumbnails, repetition was incorporated in order to give the posters a cohesive feel. This was done by including the handcuffs as the focal point in each poster, using the same background, and as well as using three different photos of handcuffs to give some variety. Inside the handcuffs was a composited scene that represented each issue. Each scene is over-exaggerated to persuade the viewers to take action. This poster series uses imagery to invoke pathos in the viewer and bring awareness to the issues surrounding our prisons.
Graphic Design USA Magazine
Design Scope
Design a six-page magazine spread for the spring 2023 print and digital editions of Graphic Design USA magazine. All images used should enhance the article, be unified, and add to the overall design. Using the Interactive features in Adobe InDesign, prepare the six-page article for digital publication. Students will be responsible for creating all the copywriting for the magazine and curating a related secondary article or informational graphic to use a sidebar within the magazine layout. The article’s structure must be creative and strategic. A cover for the magazine was also created in Adobe Photoshop.
Design Brief
The topic of the magazine layout was on the extensions of graphic design in set design. When creating copywriting for the magazine a large amount of research and writing was needed. The layout is simple; this is shown in the way that a two-column layout is used and the only other shape used is the red rectangle at the top. The color palette is a dark red that represents the curtain that is in theaters. This creates cohesiveness in the entire layout. When the layout was done, interactive pieces were added, which were animations, transitions, sounds, and buttons. All of these were used to give the magazine some interest and user experience when looking through it. The sounds added were applause and a computer clicking. Overall, this created an interactive and pleasing magazine to read and look at.
Illustration
Design Scope
Create a collage out of items in magazines. Then create a larger-scale version using different mediums such as charcoal and ink pen. Once that version is done, create a digital version that is colored.
Design Brief
When creating the collage, it was a cohesive layout with the placement as well as the pictures chosen. The next part of the project was creating the collage on a larger scale, so a 24”x36” drawing paper was used. The phone, column, and tissue paper elements were made using charcoal. While the phone booth and tree were made with ink pens. The different techniques used for those were stippling, cross-hatching, and hatching. The next part of the project was creating a colored digital version of the illustration. This was done in Adobe Illustrator and Procreate. Some elements were removed and moved around in the digital version to create a better layout.
Cortipril PHARMACEUTICAL BRAND
Design Scope
Create a pharmaceutical brand with a logo, tagline, packaging, and trade booth. Create a PSD mock-up, an Adobe Dimension mock-up, and a physical 1/10th scacle model of the pharmaceutical trade booth. This project is intended to reinforce your design skills and test your ability to turn a concept into a functional print and digital job. An animated logo will be added to the videos on the TVs that are in the trade booths.
Design Brief
Cortipril is a drug used for anxiety and depression. The idea behind the firefly logo was that the medicine is an anxiety and depression medicine, so when taking it there will be “the light in the dark.” The logo is graphically reduced with the color palette being navy and yellow. There are flat versions, 3D versions, and a 1/10th model of the booth. The booth has handout jars that represent what people catch fireflies in and a fake fireplace that they can stand around to play into the summer night vibe. Then using Adobe Animate, an animation was created that would be used in the trade booth.

They have a choice of karaoke and trivia or can choose both with different packages. The color palette gives off the vibes of a party and the lights that they would have on the bus. The logo is a mixture of a question mark and a record which combines both things the business offers. The collateral piece included was an answer sheet for the trivia. The identity packet includes the logo, patterns, and wordmark branding. There are also mockups of the bus that Trivi-Oke would use when riding around with the party bus.
