I AM ALL THAT I HAVE SEEN OBJECTIVE
Gather the work I have done over the past five years and compile it into a book that represents me as a graphic designer and a human being.
APPROACH
I have always been a collector. Whether it be rocks I tried to sell to my parents' friends for five cents or bottles of glitter nail polish, these were my things and they were what made me feel like me. Looking back on the past few years, I see that my collection has been ever expanding. Along with my possessions, there are the people I have known, the places I have been and all of the things I have chosen to hold onto. I am a reflection of all of the things I have seen and heard. I am my surroundings. For me, graphic design is the inverse of that. When faced with a project, I surround myself with all of the pieces that make up my subject. Like life, I absorb every little piece of information, and sift to find out what is important and run with it. This book is a small piece of my collection so far. Each piece can be seen as a snapshot of different parts of me—each subject inspired by my surroundings at that time, each finished project part of my surroundings today.

LADY GAGA GOES ACOUSTIC OBJECTIVE
Choose a musician that inspires you and embody the feeling of their music into a unique tour book.
APPROACH
A lot of people don't understand what the deal is with Lady Gaga. I on the other hand have a very serious appreciation for what she does. At one point I agreed that she was totally over the top and assumed that she had no part in the creation of her work. My mind was changed with one two minute video a friend showed me of Gaga performing solo, just her and a piano. I realized then that she has incredible, undeniable talent. When I found out that we were doing a tour book, I knew immediately that I had no choice but to do the project on Lady Gaga. People rolled their eyes at my decision, but were surprised at what I came up with. My tour book would be for Lady Gaga's hypothetical acoustic tour. The amazing thing about her is even when you unplug her amps, her fierceness and passion still stand. With this book, I found a way to visualize this duality and called it Raw.

A WINERY FINDS ITS ROOTS OBJECTIVE
Create an identity for a winery that has lost some of its flare. Design two lower tier bottles and one higher tier bottle with special edition box.
APPROACH
My parents were always really big fans of wine so I grew up looking at a lot of wine labels. Naturally when I got to design one for a packaging class I was beyond excited. In my search for a brand to choose, I came across the Buena Vista Winery known to be one of the oldest wineries in the area. Count Agoston Haraszthy came from Hungary and founded the winery in 1857 and eventually died crossing a river full of crocodiles. Once I found this out there was no way I could possibly use any other company. I dug into the Count's history and Hungary in the 1800s as Buena Vista's current identity has very little remnants of this incredible history. I came across some folk art that was very inspiring and used elements from a few pieces to create a very unique grape leaf that would become the core element of the design.

OAKLAND BOY MAKES WAFFLES OBJECTIVE
Create an identity for a cafĂŠ that has not yet opened based off of the personality of the man who is opening it.
APPROACH
Pete used to make my coffee. I would spend hours at the coffee shop doing homework and he would always come by and ask me what the hell I was doing on the computer for so long. We became friends and when he decided to open Waffle Boss, he came to me for help in figuring out what it was going to look like. He had gutted the building and made all the new things himself from salvaged wood and tiles. He did everything by hand. He was so excited about the building and the menu, but more importantly the casual attitude. Coffee would be a dollar, and waffles began at two. The ingredients would be simple, but in unusual combinations. His passion fascinated me, and my goal was to capture his personality and undying love for this place. Inspired by Pete, I created the logo by carving and printing a linoleum block and chose warm colors to reflect his welcoming, friendly attitude.

OLD STORE GETS NEW LOOK OBJECTIVE
Look at what Sears has done right and wrong over the past few decades and come up with five to ten new inhouse brands for them to carry to increase sales.
APPROACH
Trying to wrap my head around this project was by far one of the most difficult things I have ever done. Sears has so much history and sells products in so many different departments that it was hard to know where to start. My groupmates and I looked at what exactly was keeping the company afloat, who was shopping there and what they were buying. We assessed the value of the brands that were unique to them, and also what they did not sell. In order to broaden the customer base, we found the holes in their inventory and filled them. Half of the lines were created to help them compete against brands they carried and others to supplement their own. Our main concern was to visualize the promise that Sears has been making for years—quality products at an affordable price.

THE CITY SEES NEW GROWTH OBJECTIVE
Using the beauty of the forest as inspiration create a set of banners to adorn the lamp posts of San Francisco to raise money for urban gardening.
APPROACH
When first given this assignment, I was surprised by the simplicity of the guidelines. We were making banners and these banners had to be a certain size, and had to be about trees. They were going to be hung up on lamp posts so they had to be bold and eye catching from a long distance. This seemed simple, but it wasn't for me. It took me a bit of time before I came upon this design, and oddly enough it is just as simple as the rules upon which it was based. Wood grain is inspiring, there are always shapes and faces to be found in its bends and swirls. As a proud Californian, I decided that my banner would also be inspired by the city where it would hang. Combining the two was not only effective, but fun. I took three San Francisco land marks, made them into layers of wood grain, and used bright complimentary colors so that they would be easily seen from the street.

A PAINT CAN GETS COLORFUL OBJECTIVE
Create a line of house paint that will draw in a different audience by giving it a new personality.
APPROACH
My mother let me do a lot of the interior decorating in the house I grew up in. I spent a lot of time at Home Depot and Osh helping her gather materials for making our home. I liked it, but also found it sort of intimidating. When I got an opportunity to design a paint label, I kept this in mind. House paint is not usually marketed toward someone who doesn't paint houses for a living. With this project, I tried to change that. Aiming at new home owners or people painting for the first time, I wanted to make a label that looked welcoming. A label that made it clear that painting is really not that hard. In my research I found that Kelly Moore paint had been around since the forties and I used the design and bright colors of that time as my inspiration.

AN INSECT FLIES FREELY OBJECTIVE
Tell a story of survival through the use of illustration, expressive typography and information graphics.
APPROACH
My family owns a little cottage on Lake Ontario that I have gone to every summer since I can remember. There is a path that runs between the houses and the cherry orchard across the street. This path was my hiding place and hang out when I was a kid. Some years, if the timing was right, I would be there while the tail end of the butterfly migration was coming through. The trees along my path were saturated with little tiny orange wings, hundreds of them taking a rest during their travels. These butterflies are magical and the migration they do every year takes longer than the lifespan of each butterfly that goes. With this project, my goal was to capture the beauty and strength of the monarch while telling the story of its graceful survival technique.

A CAMERA WITNESSES A CRIME OBJECTIVE
Capture the feeling and emotion of a film made in the sixties in a poster that will read with one glance.
APPROACH
I have always been so inspired by the films of Alfred Hitchock. His ability to tell a story and incredible attention to detail makes all fifty two of his films special. The key to this project was to find the detail in the film that made the story worth watching and I thought any number of Hitchcock's films would be perfect for it. Rear Window is one of my favorites, a fine example of the suspense building that Hitchcock is capable of. I watched the film again before sketching out the poster and illustrated the point at which the story goes from being about an innocent man suffering from boredom to something different entirely.

A LIGHT FOR THE MOVIES OBJECTIVE
Build a unique celebratory special edition lamp for an established company with style.
APPROACH
Criterion boxes are like candy to a graphic designer. The effort that goes into the packaging design is similar to that put into the film itself. The illustrations and type are beautiful and the color choices perfect. Designers also enjoy the fact that they are collector's items, each film individually numbered creating this need to have them all. Criterion had just put out their 500th release when Tom gave us this assignment and I decided that my lamp would be number 500 ½. The lamp's shape is a three dimensional interpretation of their logo. Wrapped around the lamp is text telling the title, director and year of release of all five hundred films they have put out.

BRANDS LOOK FOR A FACE OBJECTIVE
Research a company, person, or group to find out what makes them special. Condense those unique qualities and personality into a strong visual identity.
APPROACH
One of the most fascinating and enjoyable parts of graphic design for me is branding. I start with research, finding everything about the company or person or place that there is to find and absorbing it all. The key is to find what makes the subject special, what makes it different from any other subject and helps it to shine. With this information you can visually capture the feeling of the subject and create its identity.
