What has shaped you?
We are constantly being molded by our
environment. I have had people and experiences
that were important in helping me arrive at where
I am now, but I am also aware that everything and
everyone I have come in contact with has left their
imprint on me, and it just so happens that design
is the one that stuck with me through it all.
corporate identity
Challenge:
To re-brand the corporate identity for the Belleville
Bulls. Solution: For the re-branding of the corporate identity
I wanted to design something that got away
from the typical cartoon character with a hockey
stick, and make something that had a more
sophisticated look but still captured the feel of a
hockey team.
book cover re-design
Challenge: To re-design the book sleeve for the novel "Fight
Club" using all illustration. Solution: I wanted to make something that would be
visually eye-catching on the shelf. I used dark
colours and accented with pink to have something
that really popped. The idea behind the soap was
to take an important topic out of the novel and
have a focus on that for the cover.
stamp design
Challenge:
To design stamps and the full collection for the
International Year of Forests. Solution: For these pieces I wanted to design something
that focused on the impression that humans
have on forests. The handprint symbolizes the
impression we have so I overlaid it on top of
images of various things that relate to forests to
portray that.
poster design
Challenge:
To create a poster that creates promotion for the San
Francisco Film Society. Solution: For this poster I wanted to create something that
had a focus both on the film and on the city of
San Francisco. I wanted to play on the "California"
aspect with the variation of sunglasses, then subtly
add a small feature of film with the cutout film strips
on each pair.
poster design
Challenge:
To create a campaign to promote the up-coming
typographic conference in Spain.
Solution:
The challenge for this assignment was to create
something that both focused on typography and to
make something that had a focus on Spain. I wanted
to use warm colours such as reds and yellows to do
this.
