For today’s New Media project, my team and I are still working on the Boot Scouts idea. In the program’s resourceful fashion, we borrowed another team’s member to be our scout model. He looked rather dashing in the red scarf. The hat is all him and how wonderfully fitting for today’s photos hoot. We…

(Above) Before and (Below) After Critique My team is designing a campaign for SCCA’s Summer and Evening Program. Though I’ve had my two cents for the other designers on this project on their assignments (we divided the work so that one of us does poster/print ads/web design– I got web design) my work has come…

I’ve started to design this final project of typography. It is a 12-page brochure explaining an Italian Bike Tour. I approached this style by first looking up travel posters. I wanted to convey the sense of tourism, sights to see, open air, emphasizing the locale. I saw a poster that collaged elements of the locale…

It never ends. I think that we’ve said everything there is to say about packaging. Design not for designers, but consumers. It’s about making something for a total stranger and making them fall in love with it. Define your product on the front. Make the display type unique, challenge the edges, perhaps. You have to…
