As designers, we are presented with different problems to solve using creative thinking. There is never a one solution answer to a design problem. Designers constantly experiment with different methods to find the best solution. During this process, we will ultimately find many different solutions and we combine these methods and create a harmonious solution. Being able to combing and mix different methods and ideas in design is what makes good design.

OBJECTIVE_ Distillery is a luxurious and sophisticated bar and lounge that caters to high class experienced whiskey connoisseurs. Distillery carries the most extensive and largest whiskey collection in all of Jakarta, Indonesia. Design and create a branding and visual system that is consistent with the Distillery brand.
SOLUTION_ The goal was to define the brand and to create the visual identity of a timeless and classy look. I chose a timeless approach for this project, old fashioned with a modern twist. Characteristics of whiskey labels were incorporated into the logo. I began the design by researching old distilleries throughout the world. From this research I created a color palette, and defined textures, and typography which were implemented in the branding system. The design reflects the mood and experience of Distillery that of getting lost in a timeless venue that offers moments of mystery and leisure.

_ _ _ The client wanted to get an idea of what their whiskey bottling would look like if they were to produce their own whiskey. According to history some people used whiskey as medicine. So I applied a simple and clean design that is consistent with the logo and chose a simple bottle that looks almost medicinal.

OBJECTIVE_ Create and design a new brand identity for The Little Red Cup Tea Co., which includes sustainable and eco-friendly packaging. The new brand will be focused on quality tea for everyday consumption but with a newer and more hip direction so that it attracts a wider audience. The tea is traditional but will have a non-traditional identity. This approach will create a curiosity and will hopefully attract the public to pick up this tea.
SOLUTION_ The Little Red Cup Tea Co. is a small, family owned company based in Brunswick, Maine. They want to act as sustainable as possible, maximizing the positive aspects of international trade while minimizing the negative. Following the company’s mission statement, I purposely chose a recyclable and sustainable packaging material. This family owned company dedicates their business by importing their teas only from China. The color red in Chinese culture represents good fortune and happiness. Therefore, the red cup is an important element which is why it was kept as the signature red color. It’s the only red color in the whole packaging to purposely highlight the name and also the red cups’ significance.

OBJECTIVE_ Create and design a new brand identity for Il Fiorello. Il Fiorello is owned by Ann Fiorello Sievers and Mark Sievers. Ann is a third generation descendant of “The Chief,” Dominic Fiorello, who immigrated to America in the 1860’s. The Chief’s family traces its roots from Sicily and Sant’ angelo D’alife, a village north of Naples. Today Ann, a third generation Fiorello, continues to sustain family and friends with fruit, vegetables, cheese, preserves, and now exquisite California olive oil from the generosity of the land at their home in Green Valley and groves in Suisun Valley.
SOLUTION_ The new brand has a more sophisticated, minimalistic approach and yet still keeping the classic and historical essence of the company. I focused the rebranding of their three most popular olive oils, Leccino, Pendolino, and Mission. The olive oil is kept in a glass bottle to preserve the oil’s quality and housed in a custom wooden frame. This simple and beautiful packaging can be used as a gift.

OBJECTIVE_ Choose a brand that is dead, dying, or defunct and identify its principle and mission. Reinvent the brand by developing a new visual identity and by creating brand extensions to elevate the brand to a new level while staying true to the brand’s mission and purpose.
SOLUTION_ Salvation Army is one of the world’s largest providers of social aid and they are the second largest charity in the United States. However, Salvation Army is also a dying organization. Many of those who affiliates and is passionate of the Salvation Army is now the older generation who are mostly retired. Salvation Army has lost when it came to reinventing their brand to keep up with the younger generation and staying relevant like its competitors, Good Will, American Red Cross, and others. The new Salvation Army, Salvo, is a fresh start that targets the younger generation. Unlike the old Salvation Army, Salvo will be a much more modern, cleaner, forward, and engaging organization. The youth can bring in a new energy and purpose to what this organization was once passionate about.

OBJECTIVE_ Design a fictitious film festival on a chosen director based on a common theme that appears in all of the director’s films. Develop a system that represents the directors essence and style in multiple deliverables including festival catalog, poster, tickets, soundtrack, DVD collection with booklet, website, advertisements, and schedule.
SOLUTION_ Steven Soderbergh is best known for directing critically acclaimed commercial Hollywood films. Watching his films, I discovered that Soderbergh’s common thread is the idea that there is a different element beyond what is on the surface. The festival title “Facade” that I chose clearly reflects and identifies with his thread of having a deceiving outer appearance. Soderbergh makes systematic use of color to express emotion as well as to help the viewer navigate the temporal and spatial structures of the narrative. His visual style can often be distinguished by his use of muted beige theme with a few bright colors introduced sparingly. This visual style is reflected on my design and feel of my deliverables and the festival catalogue.
