/

The brand I chose was Cowgirl Creamery, which is a San Franciscobased artisanal cheese company. The founders are all females and their cheeses won several awards. I want to redesign a new look to make the brand and its products stand out from other brands. The new look will appeal to the cheese buyer with a western theme.

Create identity and packaging for an existing brand that needs redesigning or make up one’s own brand. The new design should keep the soul of the brand and develop a more attractive visual system to attract old and new consumers.

I chose the brand Hush Puppies. Hush Puppies was the inventor of casual style, applying the philosophy of fun, comfortable and genuine style to its products. I decided to expand the brand from providing only fashion products to providing both physical and mental comfort at home and out of the home, including products, events, environments, experiences, and education.

Bring new life to a dead, dying, or defunct brand. The rebrand moves beyond the creation of a simple identity system to discover the nuances in the creation of a holistic brand. Keep the brands initial morals and values and bring the company beyond what it was.

DAZZ LING Keep looking around, you will never be disppointed this is “terrible”, haha...but this is so United States, you see all this kinda of sh** everyday~~

/ PAGE 130 /

I was born in Beijing, China, and from the TV we watched, the book we read, we’ve heard that America valued liberty—by which was meant the ability to think, speak, travel, and believe as one pleased, and to seek the same for others. I was told that It’s a “free country” and the “land of the free” and other such patriotic things. I’d like to believe those values still lie at the heart of America.

2254-35TH AVE

HO ME I came to San Francisco for more than 18 months now, for a master degree. I actually have been in the United States for over four years, I also had my college degree in the States, too. I was in Richmond, Virginia for three years and a half. I lived in an apartment building for that three years, and this is actually the first time I live in a real house. Like what we’ve seen on TV. Although we don’t really have a yard, I am pretty satisfied with it. And it’s pretty cool to spend only $350 for a monthly rent! Can you actually believe this price in this expensive city? I am a lucky person!

On the way... _we saw blue blue sky, _we saw green big trees, _we saw energy wasted... _and three cute puppies curiously looking at us...

It’s still couple of hours until the sunset, but I’m enjoying my time, as I’m always perfectly fine by myself, it’s a life attitude. We are all writers of our life stories. So we are the people who decide how the story goes. However a lot of people tend to depend on other people too much. They have good expectations, they expect their lives can be changes, but they just wouldn’t do anything to it. We need to take many chances in our lives, some of them worth of trying, and some of them don’t. But I am telling you: you never know until you try. We should live positively, we want something, we have to do something to get it. We have a dream, go get it. Don’t let everyone and everything get into our way of success. Someone cannot do something, they will tell you you cannot do it, either. Distant from the coast, you are slowly disappearing. Face has been blurred, even it was gradually clear. I want to say something but I do not know where to begin, so just keep the feeling in the bottom of my heart.

If the deep feeling back, you are no longer lingering. Let the wind. If the sea can take away my sadness, like it takes each river away. Please take all the sorrows, all of the tears and my love along.

Lost in the sea, to look at menstrual tide. To no avail, trying to remember every spray flowers clear. Want to say love you, but disperse in the wind. Back at a loss, you are there. If the sea can have love return. Let me wait a lifetime. 10 23

What you see depends on what your heart sees. A trip isn’t about where is the destination, it’s about the scenery on the way, and the mood when enjoying it.

A good day for a short walking trip, travel safe! We don’t usually have 87F quite often, so the unusual worth something different than staying at home doing homework. My home is 30 minutes walking distance to the Ocean Beach. So, let’s hit the road to see the Pacific Ocean, some big birds and who knows what on the way.hort walking trip.

It’s like a magic, when you open up your imagination, you will see something that you normally wouldn’t see... The shift between sun and moon, here is another day for the other side of the planet, and another night for us.

To get involve oneself into nature is always a good way to enjoy life, and find our planet beautiful, extraordinary and meaningful. Compare to the ocean, we are nothing, its size makes us such small, we are nothing different than a fish. But see how it unconditionally and fully embraced everything. The tide bulge and fall routinely, it seems boring and normal, but its ordinary makes thousands of marine organism’s lives possible. And we get so many benefits from those marines. So keep up the ordinary makes extraordinary.

Goodbye, sun! Hello, moon! Nice trip, isn’t it? On the way we see everything but ordinary. If only busy people who are busy creating or searching for extraordinary things could actually pay a more attention to our surroundings, our small peaceful lives are colorful, awesome and worth of enjoy each day...treasure those memories, no matter how much you hate “today”, remember “today” will become “yesterday”, which will never come back again. 33
