Retail Design

This project was a comprehensive

rebranding and remodel of a local

bike shop. It is a redesign of a

Bike Shop concept that will

incorporated a Bar + Cafe theme. 

I'm worked as part of a team to

design the interior as well as the

exterior space. I was responsible

for the logo redesign as well as a

new website designed using

SquareSpace.com to create a

maintainable website for the

business owner.

 

Programs Used:

Adobe Illustrator

Adobe Photoshop

 

Retail Packaging

Brief:

Greens on the GO was a self initiated

project focused on creating a brand

identity as well as a packaging layout

for a unique sustainability minded retail

salad company.

 

Concept:

I wanted to covey to the customer

that this product was focused on

sustainability and I achieved that by

using a reusable container and utilizing

recycled paper for the label as well as a

biodegradable fork.

 

Programs Used:

Digital Print Design

Layout

This project was focused on coming

up with an original design for the layout

of a cookbook. Creating a system for

the layout and following it was a major

focus for this project.

 

Photography

The Photography component for this

project was to make our own photographs

for the cookbook.

 

Programs Used:

Adobe Indesign

Adobe Photoshop

 

Traditional Print Design

The Printed Book project was to design

and print from the ground up a new

re-printed version of a book that was

at one time banned as well as in the

public domain. We were instructed to

bring attention to the books underlying

themes and build a theme from that.

 

Programs Used:

Adobe InDesign

Adobe Illustrator

Software Design - Esthetics

Brief:

This project was a video game designed

to run on mobile devices. It had to

incorporate some aspect of Design Theory

in the game itself. I chose to focus on Color

Theory in my specific game.

 

Concept:

I wanted a child like feel to this game,

something that would remind me of the

Nintendo era games. I achieved this

look by using Super Mario Bros. like

pipes for the bubbles to pop out of and

kept the color theme fun and bright.

Branding - Logo Design

Brief:

This was a self initiated project that

was inspired by an online wine delivery

service.

 

Concept:

I tried to created a variety of labels

and a fun vibe through the color choices

for the packaging to convey a fun

atmosphere. I wanted the potential

customer to experience visually what

they would be getting when the subscribed

to UnWine'd.

 

Programs Used:

Poster - Print Design

Brief:

These posters are a sample of past

projects where the emphasis was to

connect the content of the show with

the imagery used in the poster.

 

Concept:

The two music concert posters featured

experimental music performers that

focused on rythme and percussion.

In the Quasar Saxophone Quartet Poster 

I used white space to create a feeling of 

a echo filled chamber.

In the case of the Dresher Poster I used

photography and line to show resonance

and sound waves, a grunge style typeface

to represent the Rock and Roll feel and

hierarchy to draw focus to the content.

 

 

Programs Used:

This was an Interactive Infographic

that displayed information on

Communication Design graduates

of California State University Chico.

This selection of Photographs comes from

a semester long project where we were

one to represent each day.
