PERSPECTIVE
Perspective, The state of one’s idea. The idea of perspective has always been very intriguing to me. Everybody views the world in a different way. I’m curious about how others view the world around them. I have always wanted to share my perspective in an innovative way. I remember getting permission to take my parents camera onto field trips in elementary school. Photography has always been a great passion in my life. In my teen years I was introduced to a gentle man named, Kirby Yau. A wonderful photographer and graphic designer who opened the door to creative thinking for me. My perspective is expressed through photos, typography, lines, shapes, color, and texture.
TRVI
TRVI Resort is a luxury Italian boutique hotel. The design came from my passion for Rome as I studied abroad there four months. The design itself is a very modern interpretation of a traditional Italian crest communicating a luxury experience. The primary market for this property is upper middle-income couples aged 50-65. Although TRVI has a modern appearance, the hotel is based on Italy’s history and culture. TRVI is a romantic getaway for a secondary audience of locals who wish to experience the atmosphere of Italy. The logo and branded items were inspired from

and culture. The name TRVI is
CLASS_ Logo Packaging
derived from the Trevi Fountain
SEMESTER_Fall 2013
in Rome. CapitalisTypOasis is an ideal font to communicate a traditional feel. The complementary typeface, BlairITC is tracked out to communicate luxury and modernity. The abstracted fountain within the crest shape built from letterforms is also used for the hotel pictographs. A sophisticated color palette of green and gray conveys a cozy yet high-end feeling. Applications include internal forms, stationery, key card, towels, glassware, and cheese board.

MEILLEUR
Meilleur, is a French bon bon cafĂŠ that specializes in Parisian macarons. Targeted at upper middle class income women ages 23-38 with an interest in romantic travel and culture. Meilleur is a French word that translates to best, and this expresses the ambition of the pastry cafe. The brand differentiates from its competitors through its use of photography and custom type. The font used is a sans serif display typeface that evokes the grace of French culture. Letters in the typeface have heavy contrast, consistent angles, and a hairline stencil look. I shot the photographs in Paris and they conjure up a

photography, custom typography, and color. This style is seen across a wide range of applications. The printed items, business cards and menus, offer space to show off the beautiful photography of Parisian street life. I captured a delectable image of colorful macarons on film, ideal for the cafĂŠ menu. The opacity of the photo was screened back to increase readability and push the femininity of the brand. Both the business card and menu are in a vertical and narrow format to express an upscale feel using shape. The pastry bag, apron and pasty labels highlight the custom typography with a clean design that grabs attention.

MR. MIRAGE
Inspired by retro design, Mr. Mirage is a magic kit targeted at children ages 5-15. Unlike other toy sets of its type, Mr. Mirage focuses specifically on optical illusions. The typefaces Las Vegas Fabulous and Las Vegas Castaway from House Industries were chosen because they evoke the style of vintage toy packaging, specifically Slinky packaging from the 1940’s. The combination of two display typefaces elicits the same classic feel and its whimsy appeals to children. Nostalgic illustration and primary colors provoke imagination, and the

CLASS_ Portfolio B
in contrast to competitors that

use saturated, dark colors. The design of the package acts as a storage and carrying case small enough for children to transport and arrange for an audience. The walls of the package contain a cleverly hidden message utilizing the negative space to spell out the words “optical illusion.” The overall effect is a lighthearted design that catches the eye of the target audience and keeps their attention with whimsical details.

PANCHA
Pancha is line of gift products with Hindu influence. Panchayatana Puja is the worship of five deities: Shiva, Vishnu, Devi, Surya, and Ganesh. The products are targeted towards a curious audience ages 18-30 using an Indian pop art style. The custom logos based on the ohm symbol emphasize the number five with a script type. The sub products of the brand possess their own symbol related to each deity. The products of Pancha include incense, introduction books, and a dupatta, scarf. A bright palette of vibrant colors ties in to each deity. The colors are based on Bollywood’s pop art, to make

blends religion and pop art, to

create visual interest. The design brings diversity to each deity with photography on the packages, uniting them with coordinating colors and consistent applications. The incense boxes are small to project a delicate feel appropriate to the amount of incense. The ohm symbol is wrapped on the flaps of the box, and can be completed when multiple boxes are placed next to each other. The side of the incense box showcases logos for each deity and mimics the shape and color of each book.

PHOTOGRAPHY
Growing up, my first love was my 3.2 megapixel Casio Exilim. It doesn’t seem that impressive looking back, but at the time it made me feel like a pro. That camera never left my pocket. I saw the world through that lens everyday, whether it was in class at my high school or during a trip to the grocery store. Photography was my way of capturing memories, and looking back every memory is important. In the fall of 2009 I realized my love had grown to more than just a hobby. I was eager to learn more about the effects of apertures, shutter speeds, and distance. However, I was limited by my camera. I decided it was time to move up to a better camera, and after nights
PROJECT_1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 INSTRUCTOR_Self Directed CAMERA_ Nikon D40, D90
of research and comparison I chose the Nikon D40. I scraped for money everywhere I could: my savings, my financial aid, even coin collections around my house. Every penny was worth it, because with my new camera the possibilities were endless. I am a self-taught photographer, and learning through experience has given me a new appreciation for the medium. Photography speaks to me because every photo is a time-portal to a memory, but for other people it can mean something entirely different. Through photos, I can connect to people on a personal level by sharing a piece of myself and learning about them in return. My goal is not to be a professional, but to communicate my creativity by capturing the world. In design I look forward to be able to share my solutions through my own visual composition.
“What I like about photographs is that they capture a moment that’s gone forever, impossible to reproduce.”
