THE UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE

The Universal Language: Throughout history, music has been a form of communication for, and between, everyone, transcending culture and language. Now, design is reflecting the same purposeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;we find ways to communicate with each other despite language barriers. Modern tools allow design to realize what before could only exist in the imagination. Music is a complex form of art and communication which exist equally within the realm of design. Both are on an equivalent axis where meaning and intelligence share the same plane. Through design, one can channel purpose, significance and sensationâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;we are able to communicate tone and meaning just as music communicate emotion and feeling.

PAHLYMEYER THIS WINE LABEL WAS IN DIRE NEED OF A FACE LIFT. IT WAS ESSENTIAL TO BREAK THROUGH ALL THE MUDDLED MESS, AND FAST. “A BEV WITH MO.” IN THIS CLASS, WE WERE INSTRUCTED TO CHOSE AN EXISTING WINE COMPANY TO RE-BRAND. PAHLMEYER IS AN INTIMATE WINERY LOCATED IN NAPA VALLEY, CALIFORNIA. I FAVORED THIS COMPANY BY REASON OF SEEING THIS AS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO RE-CREATE AN ENTERPRISE IN WHICH PERSONALITY WAS CLEARLY LACKING. I HAD TO CREATE A CONCEPTUAL DESIGN FOR TWO PRICE POINTS, ONE BEING A CABERNET AND CHARDONNAY LABEL AT A PRICE POINT OF $16, AND THE OTHER A PREMIUM CABERNET, INCLUDING A GIFT BOX, FOR A PRICE POINT OF $120.

VITASKIN THIS SKIN CARE PACKAGING ASSIGNMENT NEEDED TO SHOW A CLEAR BREAKTHROUGH OF INSECURITIES INTO BEAUTIFICATION. THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROJECT WAS TO CREATE A COMPELLING DESIGN AND IN-STORE DISPLAY FOR RETAIL MARKETS. WE CHOSE A COMPANY THAT CURRENTLY EXISTS BUT DOES NOT OFFER A SKIN CARE LINE. I ULTIMATELY DECIDED UPON CREATING A LINE FOR VITAMIN WATER. MAKES SENSE, YES? WHY HAVE AN ABUNDANCE OF ELIXIRS FOR INTERNAL BENEFIT, WHY NOT BEAUTIFY FROM THE INSIDE OUT AS WELL? THROUGHOUT THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS PROJECT, I GAINED EXPERIENCED OF FOLLOWING: LEARNED AND SETUP FILES THAT ARE PRODUCTION RELATED, GAINED EXPERIENCE WORKING WITH MODEL MAKERS AND FABRICATORS,

AND APPLIED MULTI-TASK TIME

MANAGEMENT WHEN, AND WHERE, NEEDED.

AERO IF TARGET WERE TO LAUNCH A SISTER STORE THAT IS WITHIN THE SAME MARKET REALM AS CRATE AND BARREL OR WILLIAM SONOMA, WHAT WOULD IT LOOK LIKE? THIS IS WHERE AERO COMES IN. IT WAS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO KEEP TARGET’S SIMPLE, YET BRILLIANT, IDEAS. THE CONCEPT CREATED FOR THIS STORE WAS TO PROVIDE A HEALTHIER, MORE POSITIVE, AND BALANCED LIFESTYLE, WHILE CATERING TO MORE OF AN “URBAN” AUDIENCE. WITHIN AERO, THERE IS AN EXCLUSIVE LINE WHICH CONTAINS FOOD, PERFORMANCE, AND PET PRODUCTS. THE BRANDS WE CREATED FOR AERO ARE: NAKED, PREP, SPACE AND ROOTS. THIS PROJECT WAS PRESENTED AT THE DIELINE CONFERENCE IN CHICAGO.

AERO STAMPING SYSTEM AERO’S “E” STAMPING SYSTEM WAS DEVELOPED FROM AERO’S LOGO. IT SYMBOLIZES HOW AERO IS AN ECO-FRIENDLY STORE, AND HOW THE STORE IS PROVIDING THE MOST IN ECO-CONCIOUS AND HEALTHIER PRODUCTS TO THEIR GUESTS. THE “E” STAMP IS USED TO EDUCATE CONSUMERS ON PRODUCTS THAT CAN EITHER BE BIODEGRADABLE, RECYCLED, CONTAIN ORGANIC INGREDIENTS OR BE MADE FROM SECOND LIFE MATERIALS

THE GOLDEN ERA THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROJECT WAS TO CREATE A SERIES OF POSTERS CONTAINING FAMOUS ICONIC MUSICIANS. THIS PROJECT FOCUSES MORE ON THE ARTIST IN THE PERSONAL ASPECT OF THEIR LIFE, RATHER THAN THEIR ACHIEVED FAME. THE PROJECT WAS CENTRALIZED ON WHERE THE ARTIST CAME FROM, WHO THEY WERE BEFORE THE FAME, AND, ULTIMATELY, WHAT GAVE THEM THE FAME. THROUGH THESE POSTERS, ONE CAN SEE A DEEPER STORY THAN WHAT IS ONLY VISIBLE ON THE SURFACE.

EDIBLE WASTE THIS PROJECT WAS CREATED UNDER PROFESSOR TOM SIEU’S R3 LAB. THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROJECT WAS TO PICK AN EXISTING PRODUCT THAT HAS A NEGATIVE IMPACT OUR ENVIRONMENT, AND CHANGE IT INTO A POSITIVE IMPACT. I DECIDED TO CHOOSE FOOD PACKAGING. ONE THIRD OF THE WASTE PRODUCED IN THE UNITED STATES IS FROM FOOD PACKAGING ALONE. I RESEARCHED AND FORMULATED A SOLUTION INVOLVING THE USAGE OF A BIODEGRADABLE, SUGAR CANE BASED MATERIAL, TO CONTAIN EVERY TYPE OF FOOD. THIS BOOK WAS INTENTIONALLY MADE TO BE 100% BIODEGRADABLE BY USING ALL NATURAL MATERIALS AND SOY BASED INKS.

I DECIDED UPON THE FRENCH PAPER COMPANY, AND CHOSE THE “MUSCLETONE” LINE THEY OFFER. THE PURPOSE OF THIS SPECIFIC LINE OF PAPER OFFERED WAS TO SHOW, NOT ONLY IT’S STURDINESS, BUT IT’S STRENGTH, HANDSOMENESS AND DURABILITY AS WELL.

RE-BRANDING

STRATEGY.

OUR

ASSIGNMENT WAS TO CREATE A NEW IDENTITY, APPLICATION SYSTEM, AND STANDARDS MANUAL FOR A TAXI CAB COMPANY. OUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS NEW IDENTITY WAS TO DESIGN ANOTHER SYMBOL AND WORDMARK FOR THE COMPANY. GREEN CAB WAS FOUNDED IN 2007 IN SAN FRANCISCO, CA. THE MAIN CONCEPT FOR THE CREATION OF THEIR NEW IDENTITY WAS NOT SO MUCH TO FOCUS ON THEM BEING “GREEN”, BUT RATHER ON THE GPS SERVICE THEY OFFER THROUGH SMART PHONES. THIS SERVICE ALLOWS CUSTOMERS TO PULL OPEN A MAP ON THEIR MOBILE DEVICE, LOCATE GREEN CABS THAT ARE IN CLOSE PROXIMITY, AND TAP ON THE SCREEN TO BE PICKED UP WITHIN MINUTES.
