An insert giving guests on space cruises that particular day's activities. It had to be 2-color and contain a photograph.

 

Luxury Car Advertisement:
Programs: Adobe Illustrator CS3, Adobe Photoshop CS3

A luxury car advertisement in today's rough economy.

The advertisement had to be two-sided and accordion folded.

 

Black Hole Bags Advertisement Series:
Programs: Adobe Photoshop CS3

Black Hole Bags can hold unearthly amounts of weight and be light as a feather. The target audience includes college students and young commuters, so a playful approach was used to attract potential buyers.

   

Glasgow Type Conference Logo:

The coat of arms for the city of Glasgow, Scotland contains these four elements: a fish, a tree, a bell, and a bird. They are said to have been involved with miracles performed by the Patron Saint of the city, Saint Mungo.



Social Cause Poster:
Programs: Adobe Illustrator CS3

Inspiration came from American propoganda posters from WWII. The idea is to bring awareness to childhood hunger in America and make people aware of an organization that is fighting it. The second piece is an example from a notepad with healthful recipes to be used for taking notes in healthy cooking classes for finacially challenged families as well as a grocery shopping list for afterwards.
