Book Cover Redesign

I redesigned 3 of the Janet Evanovich Stephanie Plum novel series. I chose the first three books, One for the Money, Two for the Dough, and Three to get Deadly. I took the photos in downtown Kirksville and manipulated them to convey a sinister mood because the books deal a lot with crime and shady characters.

Pecha Kucha event poster series

I designed a series of posters for the Pecha Kucha St. Louis event series. I took specific information from a previous event on the website
(http://www.pecha-kucha.org/night/saint-louis/).

Pecha Kucha events originated in Tokyo and have expanded to cities all over the world. These events allow designers to meet, network, and share work. The concept of 20 x 20 is also important to Pecha Kucha because the presentation format is 20 images- each up for 20 seconds. I wanted to make sure both the name of the event and the 20 x 20 was prominent in each design.

My concept for the series was to visualize the creative, expressive, even chaotic brainstorming/inspiration process of many in creative fields.


Tea Fusion Packaging

I created packaging for a fictional Chinese tea company called Tea Fusion. The two types I designed packaging for were green tea and black tea. The logo was designed with the chinese type in mind. I cut a window in the side of the packages to show the individual tea packets.






TSU Promotional Postcards

I've been away from my blog for a while, so I'm now going to post the projects from the second half of last semester.

I'll start with a set of promotional postcards for Truman.

I focused my postcard set on the types of activities students can get involved in at Truman. I believe getting involved is one of the most important things a student can do once they're away at college. The front of my eight postcards each feature a still life that depicts a chosen activity such as Greek Life, Recreation, and Campus Media. The backs of each postcard pulled an object from the front photo and set it against a simple band of color.

The postcards were 5 x 7 in, full color- duplexed, and feature my own photography
