Personal Logo Designs

For this project, we created logos and banners to advertise our own media work with marketing-ready graphics! These were some of the designs I created that reflect my brand and my style as an artist.

Griefcase Band Logo and Branding Work

For this project, we worked with a new Vermont band called “Griefcase.” They hired our class to make logo designs for their debut album and for t-shirts that they are printing out, so these were some of the designs I submitted. Since their musical influences were 1990’s and 2000’s rock bands, I did some research into the genre and made logos to match the feel of their alternative rock sound!

The Big Show- Event Poster Design

For this project, we designed an event poster for a Higher Ground Show with a band or performer that we would love to go see! To do this, we had to create original assets and could only choose to use the artist’s logo or masked/manipulated photo if we wanted. Although this show isn't actually happening, it was good practice to explore graphic design for promotional posters. I made my poster for Machine Gun Kelly with graphics on top of his photo and typography from his latest album! The pink tone he used in his album art really pops and gets your attention here.

Chicks In Bowls- Women's Roller Skating Club Graphics

For this project, we were hired by the Vermont chapter of Chicks In Bowls to design graphics for their organization that promotes quad roller skating and skateboarding for the female, trans, and non-binary community. We worked to make designs they could use on social media, t-shirts, stickers, and more to promote their brand and showcase the awesome activities they inspire!

Variant Visuals Logo Designs

For this project, we worked with a team of filmmakers from the Burlington area who were seeking a new logo for their business. Using the notes they gave us in the creative brief, we designed logos that could look sleek and professional and ready to be animated. These were some of the designs I shared, and check out their work at https://www.facebook.com/VariantVisuals/

Spelling It Out- Typography Design

For this project, we created more advanced typography art using clipping masks, type on a path tool, and type modification techniques. I used the simple yet elegant typeface Myriad Pro and some type-on-a-path shapes to express the shape and feeling of a rose through text.

Build An Identity- Business Branding Design

For this project, we each got a fake business based on a real local business that we were tasked to make designs for. My business was Green Mountain Guide Service, a company that created adventurous experiences in New England. To approach this project as a graphic designer, I analyzed my business by reading quotes and goals of theirs in a creative brief and then designed a 5-color scheme palette, collection of logo mockups, and a demonstration half-page advertisement to showcase how the business could make use of the visual brand I envisioned for them!

Get Hyped- MNDFL Drink Design

For this one-day class challenge, we competed to make the most interesting and most eye-appealing can/package design for a product called MNDFL (like “mindful”), a fictional energy drink that offered a healthier, earth-conscious, and more sustainable product than other more “macho” energy drinks. After making several logo thumbnails, I chose my favorite design to make this mockup of how my branding would look on an actual product can!

Line It Up- Typography Alignment Design

For this project, we learned about typography practices like kerning, tracking, leading, paragraph alignments, justification, and font families to make typography art. For my design, I made text art of song lyrics and the mythical rose from Beauty and the Beast.

Spectrums of Light- Color wheel Design

For this open-ended project, we showcased our knowledge of color theory to make our own color wheel where color drove the meaning behind our own original art piece. My color wheel features the artist’s primary and secondary colors and uses photography to communicate with this very clear and evident use of colored pencils that I set up for the photo shoot here.

Bernie meme

So this is a small fun game we did in DMA one day, we all decided to hop on trend of making Bernie memes with him wearing his special mittens, so this is mine! Doesn’t he look so cute?! with his little Burger King crown, with his Burger king meal, I sure think so!
