Livefront Business Card

03.2008 | Livefront Web Development: Logotype and Identity (project completed at orangeseed design)
A new logo and identity system for a growing Minneapolis-based web and applications developer. The client's “Effective design, solid code” mantra called for a clean, modern, and bold aesthetic. Custom-drawn logotype and other typographic details make use of coding syntax, most notably in the logo's enclosing symbols, which hark to the HTML tag. Diecut notches in the stationery pieces offer a unique, premium feel.

SandBlaster Packaging

12.2006 | 3M Sandblaster Sandpaper (Student Project)

Nut Goodie Ad

11.2006 | Nut Goodie Magazine Ads (Student Project)
A slightly quirky campaign to enlist a new generation of snackers for a classic candy. Because the Nut Goodie has remained true to its original packaging and recipe for nearly a 100 years, I likened it to other “nutty classics” that debuted around the same time period, including Ford’s Model-T, Picasso’s Cubism, Einstein’s Theory of Relativity, and the play Peter Pan.

Target Design Me Poster

11.2006 | Target Design Me Dorm Room Poster
(competition submission)

An imaginative challenge to design a college dorm room outfitted entirely in Target products, then present the idea in one nifty poster. My concept was “Room for more,” a room for your campus socialite, who is constantly having company. As such, the area was dynamic, with multi-purpose, stackable, and collapsible furniture to make the most of a cramped space.

 

 

 


WrapUp Identity

05.2007 | WrapUp Wrapping Service: LoGo & IDENTITY
(student project)

WrapUp is a classy place to have your gifts professionally wrapped in custom papers, but they also have some trendy urban spunk. The logomark is a stylized gift with an upturned corner hinting at not only wrapping itself, but the mystery inside.

Weather Calendar

An accord ian-folding booklet that can unfold entirely to compare up to six months of Minnesota climate averages at a time. Classical typefaces he ark to the history of the data, while a modern layout best organizes it.

Hemingway Books

09.2006 | Hemingway Book Jackets (Student Project)
Book jacket redesigns, and an exercise in unifying a series. The concept centers on the great American author's often auto-biographical plot elements, with abstract illustrations seemingly sprouting from his name. Also nods to war-era typography.
