“What I see, who I become.”

—F. Ocean

I feel certain things happen for a reason. The perfect piece of inspiration always comes from the most unexpected of places. I’ve learned to face the world with my eyes open—taking in all I can. Every moment is an image. Every step is work in progress.

FOREWORD

I once found myself walking home late at night after work with a handful of empty wine bottles and restaurant menus to use as inspiration material for my current school projects, not a care in the world of how my image was perceived by passersby. My only focus was design and getting my project done. It was constantly on my mind, inside and outside of the classroom. In that moment, I realized how everything around me became part of my research—my process.

PROJECT:

Objective_

Mosaik Magazine is a unique, bimonthly digest that is targeted towards creators and followers of underground music and the international fashion industry. The magazine targets a stylish audience, ages 21–35, with in-depth articles about emerging topics. Mosaik strives to stay in front of trends by connecting directly with upcoming talent.

Solution_

10

The Mosaik covers use a photo-driven approach that gives first honors to the artist. The magazine uses Tiempos for its high contrast, yet unpretentious style that is full of energy. The masthead, which is modified from Tiempos, is locked up with headlines and other information for structured sophistication. The interior layout uses a flexible 12-column grid with lots of whitespace and typographic hierarchy. Vivid duotone treated images provide a style that is memorable and out of the ordinary.

MATT HAWES // WORK IN PROGRESS.

DATE: APRIL 2018

Objective_

Sotogawa is a Japanese beverage that translates to ‘going outside.’ The amazake beverage, made with fermented rice ‘koji,’ is a staple of traditional Japan. Sotogawa strives to expand the amazake market to the United States by conveying its relationship to outdoors and good health. The target audience is young adults, ages 18–31, who seek alternative drinks that promote activity and strong health.

Solution_

28

Inspired to challenge the stressful work-driven life foisted on young adults, the Sotogawa packaging embraces Japanese aesthetics through impeccable order and cleanliness. The combination mark uses clean sans serif typography and a monolinear style for a modern look that conveys balance. Key messaging, including the ‘feel free’ tag line, is included through clever reveals on the packaging and website. A soft color palette and minimalistic textures differentiate the amazake varieties on bottle labels.

Pastelle sets itself apart from other cafés through its effortless style and alignment with its neighborhood. Many cafés feel inauthentic because of the rigid way they adhere to French tradition. Pastelle applies French principles of taste and aesthetics to the local region, creating a more integrated space. While other high-end cafés go to great lengths to import French butter and other ingredients at great cost, Pastelle works with local producers to celebrate the region and promote sustainability.

PROJECT:

Objective_

ConvergeSE, a web design conference in Columbia, South Carolina, needed a fresh brand and website for its 2019 event. The theme, Fluid, was chosen to represent the increasing need for movement and flexibility in website design. The conference, which strives to represent the cutting edge of digital design, needed a conceptual and dynamic brand to engage its target audience of designers, developers, marketers, and business leaders, ages 28–45.

Solution_

98

The Fluid brand is driven by depth and movement. Type, image, shape, and color are layered and move relative to each other on digital applications. Graphic elements, built from geometric shapes with wavy fluidity, are used as icons and energetic patterns to express rhythm. The Circular typeface, a perfect complement for its geometric construction, is paired with Newzald for its classic, expressive voice. A tonal color palette of blues and greens evokes fluidity and sophistication.

Objective_

Nothing Sacred is a winery located in Santa Rosa, California that offers a different approach to the expanding low-mid price wine market. Unlike many competitors in the space, the brand possesses dark and mysterious qualities, with a high attention to detail, and great tasting wine. Nothing Sacred targets experienced clients, ages 26–40, who go against the grain and have a palette for something different.

Solution_

108

The unique spirit of the brand is conveyed through a focus on the location and people who make the wine. A mix of clean typography, along with the signature of the wine maker, are locked together with a line work grid. An ominous feather crest, created in an engraved style, is etched onto the front glass of the bottle, symbolizing the Santa Rosa region. The label’s torn edges and mix of styles and brand marks, give the bottle a human, handcrafted spirit that sets it apart on the shelves.

I extend my gratitude to all the faculty in part of the San Diego City College Graphic Design program, without whose time & benevolence this project would not have been possible. In particular, I would like to thank Sean Bacon, Bradford Prairie, Candice Lopez, Andrea Singer, Min Choi, Julie Warren, Norman Ramos, Eugene Brown, Duane Gardella, my fellow co-workers, all of the volunteers at the English Center, my family, my homies, all of the restaurants & shops around San Diego I bothered for free things to use on projects, & of course all of my fellow alumn who knows exactly how hard this journey has truly been. Thank you so much for your love, patience, & support.
