Comet Skateboards Web Design

Web site design for Comet Skateboards. This was my final for Web Design this past semester in which we had free reign to make a web site about anything we wanted. I chose Comet because I had a project first semester in Graphic Design to re design their logo. I figured this would be a good way to expand the project and show more components of the re design.

Orbic Sans

This past semester I took typeface design because I thought it would be cool to know how to create a font. Orbic Sans is a full functioning typeface with caps and lowercase (I only have lowercase posted here) The letter forms are primarily based off the lower case "a". I also made a type specimen broadside to display the typeface. I used neon green because the face is reminiscent of space and the sci-fi genre.

Ain't Love Grand

Personal project because I like typesetting, well more so lettering. The typeface is Affair, which I think is a nice typeface, but only in moderation. The phrase "Ain't Love Grand" is a title of a song by Atreyu if you were wondering. There is no connection except for that Script font reminds me of that sort of theme.

Tea is for Typography

Packaging for the instructional guide, Tea is for Typography. Emulates a tea bag, and is intended to be ripped open as a tea bag would be. Instructional book comes in a sleeve or tea bag. Design based around user experience. Instructional book s shown in the bottom two pictures. See next post for instructional guide spreads.

Tea is for Typography

Lettering spreads from my final typography project. I represented the 4 steps of making a cup of tea through what might be used or seen during that step of the process. All steps are hand lettered.

Amalgam Lettering

This semester I took typeface design because typography is one of my favorite components of design. Our first project was to design lettering for a word of our choice (from a list) I chose "amalgam" just because I like the word and I was interested in drawing the letters in this word.

I went with a serif look since I felt I could give it more of an intricate feel with serifs. To display the lettering we had to apply it to an application where it might be found. I chose to use it as a logo for a band since I felt the definition of the word could be applied to music, as in a mix. I later named the album I applied it to "Union" because it implied what happens after you mix something.

A Taste of Summer

Our final project for package design was to make a display for any designer brand of sunglasses that pertained to summer. Our only restriction was that the display could not exceed 18x18x18"
I chose Ray Bans because I think they are pretty snazzy glasses.

My concept stemmed from thinking of what people do over the summer and where they might wear sunglasses. Jokingly, a few friends and I were talking about hot dogs, and other random summer objects. I soon realized that hot dog buns resembled glasses cases, an the idea was born. I used paper plates to build my base since they are a familiar object at cookouts and displayed the hot dog buns and sunglasses on the sculpture.

Viveria

This was a package design project geared towards sustainability. The idea of the project was to design packaging for a light bulb that could be sold at Green Depot. For this design I decided I would not used any glue, and have the package hold itself together through use of tabs. I probably spent about an hour cutting pieces and fitting them around the bulb before I cam to a solution. I was pretty surprised by that. I later went back and refined the shapes of the pieces to reduce material and make it more aesthetically pleasing. All of the pieces of the packaging can fit on an 8.5x11" sheet of chipboard. The logo, and copy was screen printed on.
