Sustainable Coffee SHop Branding
Welcome to Whizmo's coffee shop and used book store! Located in Greeley, CO, this shop is focused on the college students and sustainability. I gave this shop a colorful palette to accentuate the eclectic theme. All furniture is thrifted and re-purposed and outdoor furniture is equipped with solar panel-powered outlets and patio lights. Coffee is enjoyed in reusable mugs inside the building, surrounded by local art– but can be put into recyclable cups, with featured artwork and plantable cozies, for those students on-the-go! Love Whizmo's? You can take home their specialty and locally-made roasts in your own container or buy a reusable bag at the counter.
The goal of this project was to create a coffee shop that utilizes sustainable practices and packaging, design the shop's logo and color palette, create interior and exterior looks and experiences, and design indoor and outdoor collateral in the form of: uniforms, cups, signs, etc.
Infographic
The evolution of rock-climbing outfits. As a rock climber, an illustrator, and a fashion lover, I took a delve into the history and evolution of rock climbing outfits throughout the years. I found it super fascinating to see all my final illustrations lined up side-by-side! It really helped to showcase how outfits have changed based on the time period and how rock climbing was utilized before modern day leisure activities.
The goal of this project was to create an infographic based off a randomly assigned topic. I choose "The Evolution of ___." Because I am very passionate about rock climbing and fashion, I chose to merge those two ideas into one to create this final piece.
Game board design
This is the final image of a group project. The goal was to create a game board design that appealed to designers: our take on the prompt was utilizing really fun and interesting illustrations. I created half of the illustrations and one member of my team created the other half. We used witty puns and ridiculous characters to make our game unique and fit flawlessly on the mainstream game shelf.
Below are a few of the cards I designed.
Packaging design
This is my design for a salad dressing label. The goal was to create packaging for a randomly chosen object and include variations. I received salad dressing. After my research on the FDA requirements, I sketched various thumbnails and characters and finally settled on one to be the face of Northern Italy. Below is my final design utilizing those illustrations.
Colorado Brewery Design
This is my final can and bottle design for an imaginary brewery company. The company I designed is called Colo–RAD–bro; a brewery located in the ski-town of Breckenridge. Based off of the research I did, I decided the can should feature a snowboarding (and a little promiscuous) yeti.
Book Jacket Design
This is my final book jacket design for the imaginary national Best-Seller, Lee Brown-Smithson's latest children's book: Dreams. The project was to create a book jacket for the author, it could be any book jacket, but you had to be able to tell what genre the book was. I feel as though my design did an excellent job at achieving that childlike wonder that a lot of children's book covers do!
Colorado Shakespeare Festival
poster design
My final poster and website design for the Colorado Shakespeare Festival. The goal was to design a poster for the popular Shakespeare performances that CU puts on to draw in a new audience. I utilized the retro science-fiction style to create a Shakespearean astronaut.
