We are all brands. We all have indidivual names and a purposes and values We all conjure up different associations and memories in other people, and we all represent our beliefs and motives through ways that are both moved by inherent and exterior influences.

My brand seeks to represent the best parts of myself to others. To merge my isolated characteristics into a unified identity for other to recognize and interact with. My personality is bold and charismatic, eccentric and playful. My aesthetic is elegant and dynamic, a balance between clean and chaotic.

My goal is to make things just as pretty as they are smart.

Rae, Branded, seeks to make the world’s visual language and landscape more beautiful to look at, and more stimulating to think about. Rae, Branded fights for style to be as equal as function, never less and never more.

I am a student designer at the Ontario College of Art and Design, exploring both a major in advertising and graphic design. I love what the visual world offers to me, and have a passion for drawing, painting, typography, editorial design, packaging design, graphic design, photography, advertising and fashion.

I enjoy clean yet dynamic design and quality executions of ideas. As a brand, I want to create for others an experience that is memorable as elegant and yet eccentric. I want to bridge the gap between the traditional and the innovative and find a hybrid balance of the two worlds and apply it to my work.

I like making the eyes happy. Therefore, my work aims to be both saccahrine for the eyes and stimulating for the brain. If our world is going to be bombarded with communication clutter; ads, posters, publications, etc...I as a designer feel an obligation to make it all look as appealing as possible. Emotion and intuition are my guiding principles. I follow my heart when I have a idea, and let it grow and morph in a natural process.

However, reaching an understanding of who my designs will be talking to is something I explore throroughly and meticulously. Design is about communicating ideas creatively, and figuring out how to say what I want to who I want correctly and in a way that resonates is something I put a lot of thought towards.

Granjon has a simple, serifed typeface that is legible and quiet.

I’ve chosen it for its ability to balance out the louder elements of the brand.

Destrukt is a memorable and dynamic typeface with strong graphic lines and forms. It is abstract and impulsive, and breaks away from the traditional.

chopinscript is elegant and refined, while remaining modern and clear to read. It’s curves soften the graphic lines of Destrukt and helpes to unify the other typefaces.

Blue, electric and bright, is my trademark. Those who know me well have coined it “Rachel Blue� It represents my boldest, brightest elements. In colour theory represents loyalty, wisdom, confidence, intelligence, truth and depth.

Black is my signature shade. It is powerful, elegant and mysterious. It is traditional; it is forward thinking. It is timeless and a great foundation in my designs.

White is clean and represents simplicity. I like simple ideas with extravagant executions. It represents my sincere and pure elements.

C’ ES T LA V IE D ANS L E G R AND PAR IS! WELCOME TO THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AND EXCITING CITY IN ALL OF THE WORLD

Dans le Métro The paris métro or métropolitain is the rapid transit system in Paris. It is a symbol of the city, notable for its older stations architecture, influenced by Art Nouveau. It has 16 lines, each of which uses exclusively their own tracks, mostly underground, a total length of 214 km. There are 300 stations. Paris is the second busiest metro system in Europe after Moscow. It carries 4.5 million passengers a day. Châtelet-Les Halles is the world’s largest underground station.

Paris, J’adore!

Trés Magnifique!

c

The eiffel tower was constructed by gustave eiffel for the 1889 Universal Exposition and is now an enduring symbol of Paris. The Eiffel Tower is one of the tallest structures in Paris and besides being possibly one of the most recognized monuments in the world, it is the most visited monument in the world. The Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel was built between 1806 and 1808

by Napoleon I, following the model of the Arc of Constantine in Rome. The two arches built by Napoleon (Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel and the Arc de Triomphe at Etoile) were to commemorate his victories, and his grand army who had won them. The church at Les Invalides consists of a series of buildings in the 7th arrondissement containing museums and monuments, all relating to the military history of France, as well as a hospital and a retirement home for war veterans. It is also the burial site for some of France’s war heroes.

The Eiffel Tower is always surrounded by couples and tourists alike.

The Paris Metro a provides transportation to any place in the city.

Paris is the capital of france and the country’s largest city. It is situated on the river Seine, in northern France, at the heart of the Île-deFrance region. The City of Paris, within its limits largely unchanged since 1860, has an estimated population of 2,167,994, and the metropolitain area of Paris has a population of nearly 12 million, making it one of the most populated metropolitan areas in Europe. Paris’ museums and monuments are among its highest-esteemed attractions and thus tourism has motivated both the city and national governments to create new ones. The city’s most prized museum, the Louvre, welcomes over 8 million visitors a year, being by far the world’s most-visited art museum. The city’s cathedrals are another main attraction: Its Notre Dame de Paris and the Basilique du Sacré-Coeur receive 12 million and eight million visitors, respectively. The Eiffel Tower, averages over six million visitors per year and more than 200 million since its construction.

The heart of the complex of the Louvre Palace is the Louvre Pyramid.

THE AGO has been collecting photographic works since the 1970s and now holds more than 40,000 images in its collection. In recent years, the Gallery has received several gifts of major photographic collections, including a significant group of 1850s prints by British photographer Linnaeus Tripe, nearly 1,000 vintage photographsby renowned Czech photographer Josef Sudek, and nearly 20,000 original photos from the Klinsky Press Agency taken in the 1930s and 40s.

The photography collection at the AGO is installed in the Betty Ann & R. Fraser Elliott Gallery. Five themes in the installation – pioneer, perform, document, remember and wonder – allow visitors to make connections between the many historical and contemporary images captured by photographers, both famous an of lesser renown but worthy of attention for their art and imagination.

Each themed area is bridged with touchstone images by Elena Kalis, Lotte Jacobi, Henri CartierBresson, Edward Burtynsky, stereographs of Egypt, and the extraordinary albums of the 1851 Great Exhibition at the Crystal Palace

RED ON WITH REVLON

pick your poison. ( YOU HAVE ABOUT 599 TO CHOOSE FROM )

You’re smart enough to know that smoking is bad for you, but yet you still smoke. The images and warnings on your pack are just another part of your life, a part that you have grown immune to. Commercials don’t scare you, impress you, or even influence you. You’re a smoker, and nothing’s going to change that. Or is it? Next time you pick up your cigarette, think long and hard about the fact that with each drag, you subject your lungs to the same fatal ingredients used in rat poisons, rubber, glue, ink, resin, detergent, dye, explosives, nail polish remover, insecticides, batteries and car exhaust fumes, among other deadly things. Quitting might seem scary, but it’s what’s in a cigarette that‘s far more terrifying.
