Graphic design requires a process by which ideas and solutions evolve over a span of time. This progression of creativity and refinement is what drives the evolution of ordinary design into a realm of revolutionary design. The following pages represent my current state of evolution as I continue to create and refine my craft in hopes of it one day becoming, revolutionary.

For many of us, recycling has become a part of our day-to-day activity as we learn about its positive effects on our planet and on our future. However, the use of plastic bottles in the U.S., alone, outweighs our recycling efforts. A campaign is needed to educate and encourage recycling in schools and public places. OBJECTIVE_
The design for this poster was inspired by the waste we've created, using images of empty plastic bottles, landfill maps, and the side of an old dumpster. It was printed on discarded pieces of vellum and taped together in order to reinforce the importance of reusing and recycling. Green is used as the symbol color for recycling, which also underlines the message of the poster.

J.P. Boxcar Company is a clothing and apparel store born out of historic 1935 San Francisco. It was established by Mr. J.P.

Boxcar Company is well-known for its vintage clothing and stylish accessories and is worn by all walks of life. The brand is being refreshed for their premiere fashion show fundraiser. OBJECTIVE_
The J.P. Boxcar re-brand and premiere fashion show invite were designed with its history and founder in mind, combining both vintage and modern elements in order to transport you to another time.

INSTRUCTOR _ BOB SLOTE
D ESC RIPTIO N _
The City of Manteca, located in central California, is nicknamed, "The Family City." It was established by a farmer in 1861. And though it has grown over the years, it remains a small and simple community of schools, churches, and businesses. The city is gearing up for a campaign to stimulate further growth by encouraging families around Northern California to move to Manteca. These efforts will be supported by a fresh brand and new website. OBJECTIVE_
Manteca is surrounded by almond orchards, and one can still find fruit stands lining its country roads. This quiet and charming lifestyle, along with references of vintage fruit crate labels, is the inspiration for the design. It is meant to evoke the emotion of living in Manteca.

Rojo is the place to enjoy a lavish afternoon tea. The elegant tea salon on Saint Catherine Street in Montréal is world-famous, not lastly due to its taste bud-tantalizing macaroons. Its name comes from a special red tea leaf that is only grown in South America. But after one-and-a-half centuries of tea it was time for a new venture. So Rojo decided to expand into Montréal's night life and re-established itself as Rojo Tea Salon & Bar. OBJECTIVE_
To create an identity that incorporates the historical and future forward appeal of the company, while reinforcing the brand's unique qualities by infusing two worlds —Europe meets South America; old meets new; tea meets cocktail.
