PROJECT SDSU Earthday Festival
TYPEFACE Raleway, Helvetica, Blackout
INSTRUCTOR Candice Lopez and Sean Bacon
[SOLUTION] The visual identity was designed to appeal to SDSU diverse students and organizations. The color green was used to promote a love of nature and inspire others to adopt green habits. I choose the fonts Blackout and Raleway to complement the geometric design of the project. The triangle buntings decorating the poster symbolize celebration. Applications made for this piece include a poster, tickets to the concert, and backstage pass along with free promotional items such as sunglasses, waterbottles, and sandals made out of eco-friendly materials. The poster is printed on socially responsible, eco-friendly wild grass paper with vegetable inks. Printed on campus the posters are not shipped using transportation but hand posted with every effort to reduce toxic chemicals, waste ink and solvent. Colors used:
GREENFEST
Greenfest is a weeklong festival held annually each year by Associated Students of San Diego State University. The main purpose of the festival is to celebrate sustainability and Aztec pride. The website gives you tips on how to be more environmentally conscious and responsible of your day-to-day actions. Some of the events in the festival include food demonstrations, student competitions, a keynote speaker, and a fashion show. The festival is well known for their concerts, which have included many famous artists such as LMFAO, Lupe Fiasco, Steve Aoki and most recently Macklemore + Ryan Lewis. Sponsors include Kind Healthy Snacks, Blick Art Supplies, Hindsight Rehearsal Studios, and Shake Smart. [OBJECTIVE] Develop a friendlier brand image for Greenfest SDSU.

PROJECT Earth-Friendly Commercial Cleaning
TYPEFACE Gotham, Eurostile
INSTRUCTOR Candice Lopez and Sean Bacon
[OBJECTIVE] The goal of this brand is to generate consumer interest towards Enviroclean as well as awareness for its focus on the environment. [SOLUTION] A rebrand of enviroclean was necessary and a type treatment was implemented to be use across the varied applications. The swipe on the logo was included in the type to represent a sweeping motion one does when cleaning. The packaging is minimal to inform the consumer to sustainability. The packaging’s mission is to inform the public to sustainability. Enviroclean bottles are ecofriendly, manufactured from materials containing recycled post-consumer resin. They also meet the Green Seal environmental standard for household cleaners based on its reduced toxicity, biodegradability, packaging and other characteristics. I decided to go for a more honest approach and choose to represent the quality of the product with a seal of approval from Green Seal and images found online that convey value and cleanliness. The simple color palette of floods of white make it effective in the cleaning product market and create an eco-friendly look.

PROJECT Geothermal Energy Museum
TYPEFACE Proxima Nova
INSTRUCTOR Candice Lopez and Sean Bacon
[OBJECTIVE] Create an infographic poster informing the viewer of the benefits of geothermal energy and the use of alternative energy sources. Develop a branding system for the museum to use on postcards, receipts, and miscellaneous items such as mugs and pins for museum patrons and guests. Design a brochure to enlighten visitors about the practicality of geothermal energy. [SOLUTION] San Diego City College Graphic Design adopted the Italian village and skyped with city officials and townspeople to re-brand the village. To grab attention and visitors to the city’s Geothermal Museum I created a playful poster that juxtaposes the familiar in and unfamiliar setting combining a light bulb and globe. The flip side of the poster features an infographic showcasing the benefits of geothermal energy. The colors maroon and gold are used throughout the design to promote the rich culture of Italy. Museum patrons are given the option to request an email or printed receipt on recycled paper and round up their purchases to the nearest amount in support of geothermal education and outreach.

PROJECT Public Campaign
TYPEFACE Univers, Bebas Lavanderia, Halo Handletter
INSTRUCTOR Candice Lopez and Sean Bacon
[OBJECTIVE] The purpose of this campaign is to encourage people to adopt a green approach to their daily habits in order to change the future for the better. [SOLUTION] Hand-made illustrations were used to convey an aesthetic appeal. The illustrations are juxtaposed to vibrant photography in order to engage and capture viewer’s attention. The target market for this project are those between the ages of 20-40. The images inside the globe are things found in nature such as the sky and butterfly. The name alternative method is to emphasize that change requires a different way of action and behavior. This project is printed on 100% recycled paper with soy-based inks that are low in volatile organic compounds. Branded materials were created with a green printer who invested in state of the art equipment designed to minimize waste. This firm minimized chemical use in the plate-making and printing processes and does everything on site to monitor their environmental impact. They operate as a carbon-neutral business via carbon offsets of shipping emissions and investments of Renewable Energy credits.

PROJECT Male Outdoor Grooming Product
TYPEFACE Bebas, Univers
INSTRUCTOR Candice Lopez
[OBJECTIVE] Create a grooming line for the outdoor male that acts as a catalyst to discuss men’s health issue. [SOLUTION] The logo was created to be simple, masculine, and rustic. The price point was higher to allow for more profit to be donated leading me to an oversized wood but that contained the kit. A rich mahogany color was stained on the wooden box to express quality. The engraved trees in the middle was used to represent the trees near the Allegheny River. A pamphlet was produced to engage consumers to learn more about the product and to get involve in the organizations that it support. The box kit includes aftershave, preshave oil, a shaving foam, sharp razors, and a travel-size shave brush. All products are made from natural ingredients and the pamphlet is made out of paper from certified sustainable forests.

PROJECT Eco-Friendly Luxury Hotel TYPEFACE Trade Gothic INSTRUCTOR Candice Lopez
[OBJECTIVE] To develop a hotel identity for Xingyun and take the needed steps for energy, cost, water and time saving environmental practices wherever possible. [SOLUTION] This property targets affluent businessmen from East Asia looking for a familiar place in an unfamiliar territory. This project consists of an identity manual, which lays out the brand structure and visual guidelines for the hotel. Applications produced for this piece include a phone and web application. Some of the practices featured on the identity are towel and sheet reuse programs, compact fluorescent lighting with sensors and timers for areas that are infrequently used. Guestrooms use a low flow showerhead and toilets to save on energy and water. There are recycling waste bins for newspaper, white paper, glass products, aluminum cans and cardboard and refillable dispensers in guestrooms. Recycled paper products are bleached using a chlorine free press and a solar water heating system for the pool.

PROJECT Organic Seed Company
TYPEFACE American Typewriter Century Schoolbook
INSTRUCTOR Candice Lopez and Sean Bacon
[OBJECTIVE] Reduce the amount of paper used for seed packaging as well as develop a brand image for Kismet that encourages urban gardening. [SOLUTION] When I first opened a tomato seed packet, I was surprised to see how little seeds there were compared to the large package. I wanted to create a package that would be reusable from cloth and printed with soy-based inks. To reflect the spirit of the brand I created a custom font for Kismet with inspiration from seed forms. Not only are the seeds packed in reusable cloth bags but Kismet ships their products in corrugated containers that are reused. Apart from reducing waste generation these reusable containers lower packaging costs. Packaging represents nearly one-third of the total solid waste stream and materials used to transport goods make up almost one half of packaging waste. Consumers who return empty seed packaging in the corrugated re-order envelope receive discounts on their future purchases.
Colors used:
KISMET
Kismet is a seed package designed to promote urban gardening. The target market for this project is active, female city dwellers 20-35. They practice yoga in their spare time and shop at stores such as Lululemon and Anthropologie. This product is ideally sold in Whole Foods or Trader Joes. The information on the package will emphasize the ease of growing flowers and vegetables at home in pots. It will also advertise the benefits of gardening such as the reduction of pesticides and an increase in one’s own well-being.
