Box Package

To start this project we selected a paper-board package from a store. My box of choice was a light-bulb package. We then deconstructed the box, measured everything precisely, and created a digital dieline. After this we done, we created mock-ups, before recreating the blank box in 120 lb cover-weight paper.

VNEA Pro Smartphone App

I recently finished a project working on a smartphone app. for playing VNEA billiards league. I didn't do any back-end coding, but I did use Axure to create a prototype to conduct testing with. Once I knew the page-map and layout I wanted, I designed an interactive pdf that gives a mock representation of what the app would be. You can check out my workbook for the whole project at: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B-5lO0EoFGX2ZmtscUhfUkdFN2s/edit?usp=sharing. If you download the file, the second page should have the working interactive file. Let me know what you think. Thanks.

Logo Bootcamp

This was a: create four logos in two weeks project. We came in, were given one word or concept. With that word a word map would be created for ~10 minutes, before sketching. Sketches were 1 every minute for 30 minutes. At this point the top direction or two would be selected and refined through tight sketches until ready to be scanned in and worked digitally. Here are three:

Intelligence was the word that sparked this logo. I took the idea of being a philosophical thinker, and rethinking concepts, having ideas inside of ideas, etc.

The concept was Salt and Pepper, a Mom-and-Pop type restaurant. I struggled to find interesting form, or to have lost and found shapes with the negative and positive. I didn't find a great logo solution in those explorations, and took it this direction instead.

Bird was the only word that we got on this day. I thought a lot about feathers, and wanted to find a way to either use the feather silhouette to be a bird, or to make the bird become the feather. In my explorations I came across the bird flying out of a feather and breaking free. I plan to revise the form, but this is how it currently stands.

Cards Package

The parameters were to create a package and deck of at least 50 themed cards. I chose to do military service guns. It was an exceptionally fun, and tedious project. I had a lot of photo research, editing and manipulation to work with on gun for each card. I also feel like this is one of my stronger design pieces as a whole, graphically and typographically.
