G O O D DAY / THIS BOOK IS DIVIDED INTO 11 SECTIONS. EACH HAS BEEN

GIVEN A TIME OF DAY TO REPRESENT THE CONSTANT DAY

AND NIGHT OBSESSION I HAVE WITH DESIGN. WHEN GIVEN A

DESIGN PROBLEM TO SOLVE THE TASK IS ON MY MIND FROM

MORNING TO NIGHT. I F IND MYSELF DREAMING OF KERNING,

COLOR SCHEMES, AND SUBSTRATES. MY MIND WONDERS

TO L AYOUTS AND TYPOGRAPHY WHETHER I ’M ON THE BUS,

BRUSHING MY TEETH, OR COOKING DINNER. FOR ME, DE-

SIGN IS A 24 HOUR CONSTANT.

I BECAME PASSIONATE ABOUT GRAPHIC DESIGN WHEN I

REALIZED I COULD COMBINE MULTIPLE MEDIUMS AND AS-

PECTS OF ART AND DESIGN. IN ESSENCE IT IS THE PAIR-

ING OF COLORS, CONTEXT, SHAPE, FORM, AND CONCEPT.

WITH A BACKGROUND IN FINE ART AND ILLUSTRATION I WAS

IMMEDIATELY DRAWN TO THE ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES OF

GRAPHIC DESIGN. AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER I HAVE HAD

AN OBSESSION WITH CREATION. I ’VE ALWAYS FOUND MY-

SELF FASCINATED WITH UNIQUE FORMS, SHAPES AND COL-

ORS THAT HELP DECORATE THE WORLD AROUND US. FOR-

TUNATELY THIS OBSESSION LED ME TO GRAPHIC DESIGN,

EVEN IF IT CONSUMES ME NIGHT AND DAY.

CAN WE COMMUNICATE WITH THE DEAD? ACTUALLY, MANY SAY

YES. ITC, ALSO KNOWN AS INSTRUMENTAL TRANSCOMMUNI-

CATION, IS THE USE OF ELECTRONIC DEVICES IN AN ATTEMPT

TO COMMUNICATE WITH SPIRITS AND GHOSTS. PRETTY MUCH

ANY DEVICE THAT CAN RECEIVE VIDEO AND/OR AUDIO CAN BE

USED TO RECEIVE AND RECORD SPIRIT MESSAGES FROM BE-

YOND THE GRAVE.

IN THIS PROJECT, I TOOK INSPIRATION FROM MANY OF THE VI-

SUAL SPIRITS COLLECTED FROM ACTUAL ITC READINGS. I WAS

ALSO INTERESTED IN THE MACHINES OF THE DEVICES THAT

COLLECTED THIS DATA. I PAIRED ERIE, DIGITALIZED PHOTOS

CAPTURED BY ITC TECHNOLOGY WITH BRIGHT, EYE-CATCHING

COLORS AND COOL GREYS. I USED A MIX OF DIGITALLY INSPIRED

TYPOGRAPHY AND CL ASSIC ITALICS IN ORDER TO CONVEY AN

OLD WORLD MEETS NEW WORLD FEELING.

SOMETIMES SIMPLIFYING DESIGN AND DRAWING INSPIRATION

FROM PREVIOUS SUCCESS CAN ILLUMINATE THE MOST MUN-

DANE AND OPEN OUR EYES TO NEW WAYS OF LOOKING AT

THINGS. WHEN ASKED TO REDESIGN PACKAGING FOR A SEMI-

WELL KNOWN DAIRY BRAND LIKE NANCY’S YOGURT, RETRO

SIMPLICITY WAS THE KEY. IT WAS IMPORTANT THAT THE DE-

SIGN STAND OUT AGAINST THE SEA OF COMPETITORS FOUND

IN EVERY DAIRY SECTION. I WANTED TO ELEVATE THE BRAND,

BUT NOT COMPLETELY LOSE ALL EQUITY OF THE PREVIOUSLY

EXISTING PRODUCT. I DECIDED TO KEEP THE HAND DRAWN,

SCRIPT LOOK OF THE LOGO, BUT REDREW IT IN ORDER TO

ACHIEVE FOR A MORE ATTRACTIVE AND FLUID LOOK. I COLOR

CODED EACH OF ALL FOUR VARIETIES OF YOGURT IN ORDER

TO CREATE QUICK AND EASY COMMUNICATION TO THE CON-

SUMER. THE PATTERN USED IS MADE OF SPOONS WHICH PRO-

VIDES A CLEVER AND SLIGHTLY COMICAL SIDE TO THIS NEW

FOR NANCY’S HIGH END LINE OF DIARY DELICACY I KEPT THE

SAME WORD IN MIND: SIMPLICITY. I PULLED ASPECTS OF THE

PREVIOUS PACKAGING INTO THIS RE-REDESIGN. FOR EXAMPLE,

THE BOLD COLOR CODING AND SCRIPT TYPE. HOWEVER, FOR

THIS LINE, STRUCTURE WAS KEY. I ELEVATED THE PRODUCT

BY INTRODUCING A GL ASSWARE CONTAINER AND INTRICATE

SHIELD LIKE RUBDOWNS. ALONG WITH A SPECIFIC COLOR,

EACH FL AVOR WAS GIVEN ITS OWN UNIQUE CAPITAL N TO ADD

A TOUCH OF PERSONALITY AND CHARM.

EVOLVED INTO AN URBAN PL AYGROUND OF DESIGN AND CUL-

TURE: THE ATTENDEES WILL USE RECYCLED, REUSED, AND RE-

THOUGHT TYPE FOUND ON THE STREETS OF NEW YORK CITY.

NYC BECAME THE PERFECT DESTINATION NOT ONLY BECAUSE

OF ITS VAST ASSORTMENT OF DISREGARDED TYPE, BUT ALSO

THE CITY’S SIGNIFICANT GLOBAL IMPACT ON MEDIA, CULTURE,

ART, AND FASHION. WITHIN MY DESIGN I WAS ALBE TO CAP-

TURE THE ESSENCE OF THIS URBAN SETTING WITH PHOTOS

AND COLOR. I USED TYPE I COLLECTED PERSONALLY FROM

BOTH NEW YORK AND SAN FRANCISCO STREETS WITHIN EVERY

L AYOUT. I PL AYED WITH ELEMENTS OF RECYCLED TYPOGRAPHY

WHILE PUSHING THE LIMITS OF JUXTAPOSITION, SCALE, AND

COLL AGE. IN THE END, I DEVELOPED A VISUAL STIMUL ATING

TYPOGRAPHIC CONFERENCE THAT URGED IT’S ATTENDEES TO

RECYCLE THEIR TYPE AND TAKE IT OUTSIDE OF THE BOX.

We have one of the largest cities in the world as a resource for this type adventure. Be sure to look around and take every advantage. Today, the Department is the world's largest, collecting over 12,000 tons of residential and institutional refuse and recyclables a day. The City's businesses, whose waste is collected by private carting companies, generate another 13,000 tons of refuse each day. And under the leadership of Commissioner John J. Doherty, New York City's streets are cleaner today then they have been in over 30 years. But that does’t mean we can’t find resources around every corner in the city.

I CHOSE TO CREATE AN IDENTITY SYSTEM FOR A NEW

RESTAURANT. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH AND BRAINSTORMING I

DECIDED ON A RESTAURANT NAMED TAKO, A SOUTHWESTERN

SUSHI BAR AND GRILL. THE NAME ‘TAKO’ IS THE JAPANESE

WORD FOR OCTOPUS, A COMMONLY INGREDIENT IN SUSHI .

THE WORD ALSO SUGGESTS THE MOST COMMON MEXICAN/

SOUTHWESTERN TACO. MY IDEA EVENTUALLY BLOSSOMED

INTO AN EDGY RESTAURANT SERVING SUSHI WITH A MODERN,

SOUTHWESTERN FL ARE. WHEN DEVELOPING A BRAND FOR THIS

COMPLETELY FICTITIOUS COMPANY I WAS LEFT WITH LOT OF

CREATIVE LIBERTIES. I FELT A MULTIFACETED AND METICULOUS

APPROACH WAS REQUIRED IN ORDER TO COMMUNICATE MY

NEW IDEA. I WAS INSPIRED BY TEXTURES, PATTERNS, NATURE

AND ART FROM BOTH JAPAN AND THE SOUTHWEST. ALL OF

THESE THINGS ALLOWED ME TO CREATE THE FINAL LOGO AND

OVERALL FEEL OF THE BRAND.

FENDER GUITARS HAVE BEEN A HOUSEHOLD NAME SINCE MU-

ING THE BLUES. MY OBJECTIVE BECAME TO CREATE A FRESH

NEW LINE OF APPLIANCES THAT MATCHED THE SAME LEVEL OF

SULTRY STYLE OF THE ROCK STARS THAT MADE FENDER FA-

MOUS. IT WAS IMPORTANT TO DESIGN A GROUP OF PRODUCTS

THAT WERE COHESIVE, UNIQUE, AND DESIRABLE. THE HIS-

TORY OF THE FENDER NAME AND THE REBELLIOUS LIFESTYLE

IT REPRESENTS HAD A DRAMATIC INFLUENCE ON MY DESIGN.

I DREW INSPIRATION FROM OLD ROCK POSTERS FROM THE

1950’S AND 60’S, CREATING A FINAL PRODUCT WITH CL AS-

SIC INTEGRITY THAT DIDN’T L ACK A MODERN FL ARE. I USED

RICH, FIRE BURST WOOD GRAIN AND BOLD STACKED TYPE IN

AND BACTERIA ACTED AS THE PERFECT CATALYST IN ORDER TO

WITH TYPOGRAPHY.

I CREATED ALL OF THE ILLUSTRATIONS USED IN THE BOOK BY

HAND WITH WATERCOLOR AND INK. I PAIRED THESE DRAWINGS

WITH ACTUAL TYPOGRAPHY, CREATING A NEVER BEFORE SEEN

I HAVE BEEN AN ANIMAL LOVER EVER SINCE I CAN REMEM-

BER. GROWING UP IN THE MIDWEST, MY FAMILY HAD PLENTY

OF ROOM FOR DOGS. SINCE I WAS YOUNG, I HAVE ALWAYS

OWNED DACHSHUNDS. DACHSHUNDS, OR WIENER DOGS, ARE

EXTRAORDINARY DOGS FULL OF EXTREME PERSONALITY AND

MANY SPECIAL NEEDS.

FOR THIS LINE I DECIDED TO CREATE A BRAND THAT WAS SPE-

CIFICALLY FOR THE DACHSHUND. FRANK’S FINE FOODS AND

SUPPLIES INCLUDES EXTRA LONG SWEATERS, DOG FOOD HIGH

IN CALCIUM (FOR MAXIMUM BACK HEALTH), AND LOW BOUNCE

TENNIS BALLS GUARANTEED TO STAY ON THESES MINIATURE

DOG’S LEVEL. THE TYPOGRAPHY IS BOLD AND CL ASSIC, SUG-

GESTING A SENSE OF LUXURY AND TASTE, EVEN IN A DOG

FOOD. I PAIRED THE STRONG TYPE WITH DELICATE HAND-

CRAFTED PATTERNS, ALL PRINTED ON A RECYCLED STOCK.

ULTIMATELY, THE DESIGN WILL NOT ONLY APPEAL TO DACHS-

HOWEVER, NOT ONLY IS PAINTING WITH REAL MILK PAINT FUN

IT ALSO COMES WITH A 100% SUSTAINABLE SIDE. THE LOGO-

FOR A PERFECT MARRIAGE OF BOTH STAINABILITY AND LIVELI-

IT EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO CAPTURE L ADY GAGA’S SENSE

I USED SYMBOLS, TEXTURES, AND AESTHETICS I BELIEVED TO

SHE MAKES. I STARTED BY CREATING COLL AGES USING LIT-

ERAL IMAGERY FROM THE LYRICS OF HER SONGS. HOWEVER, I

ALSO MANAGED TO DEVELOP AN AMALGAM OF HER OVERALL

LIKE ART, MUSIC HAS THE ABILITY TO INSPIRE US. I WAS PAR-

TICUL ARLY INSPIRED BY NATURE AND THE BEAUTIFUL SANTA

BARBARA CAMP GROUNDS WHERE THE FESTIVAL IS HELD.

THE PEACE AND LOVE COUNTER-CULTURE OF THE 1960’S

WAS ALSO TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT IN MY DESIGN. ONCE AGAIN,

I GOT OUT MY PENCILS AND MARKERS TO HAND DRAW THE

LOGOMARK AND ADDITIONAL SIGNAGE MARKS. I THOUGHT IT

WAS IMPORTANT TO CREATE SOMETHING THAT APPEARED TO

BE HANDCRAFTED IN ORDER TO GIVE A PERSONAL TOUCH TO

EACH CONCERT GO-ERS EXPERIENCE. THE COLORS USED ARE

RICH GREENS AND AUBURNS FOUND IN NATURE THAT ARE

SURE TO ENHANCE THE FESTIVALS ALREADY EUPHORIC ENVI-

RONMENT. THE TICKETS ARE LETTERPRESSED ON RECYCLED

STOCK, ONCE AGAIN REENFORCING THE HANDCRAFTED PER-

SONAL TOUCH I FOUND APPROPRIATE FOR THIS WELL-KNOWN

ANNUAL EVENT.
