Typographic Card Deck

Various typefaces expressed uniquely as a part of a 26-card set.

The objective was to create a clean deck of 26 cards with each card representing a different typeface, and each typeface representing a different letter of the alphabet. The back of each card showcases an intricate pattern similar to that of a typical Bicycle brand card deck.

In pursuit of an elegant design, I took inspiration from prestigious brands such as Aviano, Louis Viton, and Etihad Airways. Departing from my usual design aesthetic, I wanted to take a more elegant approach. I developed a minimal color palette made up of sophisticated colors like golds, blacks, and whites.

Skills Used

Typography/Pattern Making

Having specific fonts as subject matter for the patterns (on the back card face) forced me to combine fonts in different ways to turn them into consistent forms, which would be repeated vertically and diagonally to create whimsical patterns. Each pattern was conformed by a few of the same letters being attached in a symmetrical manner.

Dawn Parol Surf Co. Packaging System

Handmade packaging system for a hypothetical surf brand concept, de

signed to hold a block of surf wax.

The goal for this project was to create a brand with a concept of my choice, accompanied by a packaging system for a product developed by the brand. This packaging system consisted of three components; a box for the product, a decorative sleeve-like feature to seal the box, and some kind of bag or pouch for the package or product to rest in.

The package was made using thick cardstock paper. A sheet of plastic was used for a window which would be on the font of the box. A sleeve component displays the brand logo cut out three times along each side. This interactive element elevated the user experience, making the logo apparent as the sleave slid over the box.

Balance Organics Logo Concept

A handmade logo and tagline, given a predetermined name and concept, later elevated through digital logo iterations and mockups.

The prompt for this project revolved around coming up with a logo and style for a brand, only given the name, and a small discription exclaiming the concept of the brand. Given this information I was not only able to create various logo iterations which would be used for difrent types of publication, but capture the healthy/balanced lifestyle aesthetic through various digital mockups.

Designed In Adobe

The idea of using a scale for the logo made sence given the name of the brand. I drew out a slightly abstract logo with lots of curves and round edges taking inspiration from healthy grocery store brands like Whole Foods and Down to Earth. The color palette and typeface accompanying my logo were heavily influenced by Whole Foods. I fine tuned the logo by hand trying to balance it having an organic, abstract theme, with the look of a scale.

Skills Used Editorial

With a food related concept in mind I developed a creative name for my publication. The Edible Magazine was a fun name that complemented my design style well, and I put a fun twist on this concept by adding a mascott in the bottom right corner of some pages giving him a bright yellow speech bubble for ironic interactive quotes. This bright yellow speech bubble shape was a major catalist for the publications graphic elements.

Knowing my photography had to be vibrant to match the the whieght of my graphics I took insperation from colorfull foods like breakfast toasts and acai bowls. This made it easy to choose a theme and prompts for the stories my magazine would hold. To henhace the realism of my magazine I also added two single spread advertisments. Adapting to brand guidelines and typographic layouts asociated with the advertiser was key for this step.

I found myself fusing text and graphics in persute of controling the order in which certain parts of the publication were read. Text color, whieght, and alignment were tailored to the way I wanted the pposter to be read.

Giving the poster an epic aesthetic was mandatory, so my colors were vibrant, and my featured image (bottom left) was taken during intense match moment to simulate the game day feeling. The background image showing the same sport with contrasting chill aesthetic was overlayed with a transparent blue layer. This would give the reader an idea of what game days felt like compared to practice days which is important to anyone trying to get recruted.

This project flexed my ability to combine simple illustrations with aspects of the culture I grew up in. I took a lot of insperation from the cenery of Honolulu, as well as a diverse range of difrent types of foreign currency. With a paradise/tropical island concept forming in front of me I made the decision to create outlined graphics for four animals found on or around the Hawaiian islands. These graphics would be the centerpiece of each bill, and the background would be filled by pictures of famous landmarks located in honolulu.

Giving my bills a money like texture would lift the authentisity of the design, so I developed a simple pattern made with waving lines stacked on top of one another. This gave my bills a sence of realism, and nicley overlayed ther contents to level out the readability. Using simple graphics, and matching them with vibrant colors created a tropical theme for a set of currency witch would acsent Honolulu imparativley.

In search of creating a satisfying user experience for vacationing people/familys, I developed a family friendly boutique hotel concept based around relaxation and adventure, and placed it along the coast of Cabo, Mexico. The project required me to bring this concept to life through the development of a website wireframe. Taking insperation from the arcing rocks along the beaches of cabo, I came up with a logo and color pallete that screemed adventure with a sophistocated look.

Pairing images, colored blocks, and editorial content allowed me to create a steady flow for eyes to scan up and down the page. I emphasised important text with bright color blocks and buttons, and I found large high resolution images that projected the aesthetic I was going for.
