Woot!

AIGA holds its' annual Design Show in which very talented designers and firms submit very beautiful printed pieces such as posters. packaging, books, among branding and website design. I decided to give it a go and submit by Gothic Novel book covers. To my happy surprise I was one of the winners!

My very talented classmate and friend, Jackie, also won for her awesome Burly Bread packaging!

Ikea

My office/sewing room is once again in disrepair and in some bad need of pretty storage. So where does one find cheap yet stylish options? Ikea of course! I ended up buying two candy-apple red Helmer drawer carts. Two episodes of Glee later one of them was done.

While in the store I also took a gander at all the beautifully designed objects.

Big Shooter Brewery

 

The label for BSB beer. Influenced by vintage railroad posters, broadsides, and most importantly beer.

Design Books: Girly Graphics

The authors of the book, Girly Graphics, wanted a collection of works that showcased advertising that marketed to women.  The collection is broken up into themes:  "Glamorous & Gorgeous," "Sweet & Fresh," "Cute & Lovely," and "Romantic & Fairytale."Can you decide which is what?

 

Project: Farmer's Market (The End)

Several weeks and many alterations later I have a completed packaging for the honey jars as well as a pamphlet. I wanted to give them an identity that was elegant but also clean and a bit old fashion. The colors needed to pop but not overwhelm.

Project: Farmer's Market

So this is what I have so far: thoughts?

Project: Farmer's Market Campaign

The Project:

Create a series of marketing, promotional and packaging pieces for a business at a local farmer's market. Interview the owner to learn more about their business philosophy, the product, the customers and the competition.

I instantly think of honey producers and soap. Your standard veggie stand (here in Minnesota) doesn't have much in terms of an identity let alone a need for product packaging. I have visions of beautiful honey jars with elegant fonts and maybe a nod to rural simplicity. Or there is cheese. I like cheese.

Apparently she likes cheese too....Or she's plotting someone's death...
