Love

Watch this video and then tell me how old you think that "girl" is.  Overall the commercial sells everything nicely, the ring, proposal, setting, etc.  But minus the fact that the actress looks like she is 12 years old, it ruins the entire piece. 

Package Design

In Class Exercise

[flavor: beer-cola, similar to root-beer but more beer flavor]

[name:"barbiquity"]

[can design: medium would be tin or some sort of other heavy metal, with a handle]

Project 3 Feedback

[idea 1: using lipstick as the medium]

[idea 2: blood substance & red roses as the medium]

These are my two very rough concepts that I've briefly digitized. I would love any feedback that anyone has. One issue I'm stuck on, is for my 1st idea, what would I do for the related 2 other posters (so as to make them related but different)? So if you have any ideas feel free to post it.  

Designers Intuition

[1] Intuition alone does not dictate effective solutions/executions. But rather it is a supportive factor.

[2] Intuition requires nurturing in order to be a productive component to the design process.

[3] Designer must not analyze the insight before testing them out.  It is useful to experiment an idea even if it seems impractical.

[4] Expect the unexpected and be open to anything.

[5] Do not prejudge or abandon instinctive ideas.

[lifestyle imagery for Natura Brazil]

[extreme surfers in northern california for Swami's Surf Co.]

Christopher Wilson is a brilliantly, talented photographer.  His images are beyond captivating and I found his work truly inspiring.  I found his work in the latest "Communications" magazine and was struck.  To see more of his work visit here.

Newly Improved

[newly designed website]

I wish I had a snapshot of their old website, but it was horrible.  Now that they have

"made it" and are pretty well known their site has really improved.  I love the color scheme along with the clean, modern look they have executed.  The typography/logo is also a personal favorite as well.  All over really happy with the look they have branded themselves with.  

Professional Packaging
