Katlyn Knuver's Digital Porfolio March 2017 8x11

I am Katlyn Knuver and I specialize in graphic design and
illustration. My work develops from rural roots and encha
dreams of making the world a better place. It is through m
artwork that I hope to focus on days gone by and momen
family, hard work, and connection. In this short collection
will find children’s illustrations, watercolor paintings, and
productions. More than an artist, I view myself as a storyte
sharing the value of all individuals through their mere exi
I hope my work causes someone to stop his/her busy life

favorite stuffed animal and good luck charm. 6/5/16“Wasn’t today fun?” asks Bunwacky. “We’ll remember our riders for

Checker Cab agrees, “That was an assorted group of customers we
helped today. We learned how much fun a Saturday in September can
be!”

Back at the garage, Cab Driver parks the taxi. He unbuckles
Bunwacky from his seat belt and gently places him in the glove box for
a safe night’s sleep.

As he exits the garage, Cab Driver pats Checker Cab on the fender
and says, “Good Night!”

DESCRIPTION

This packaging exploration was a discovery of educating consumers
about what they are eating. In a highly processed world, it is easy to
forget what we are consuming. To combat this growing problem, I
produced a series of packaging that both emphasized that origin of
the food as well as the process. In a subtle and interesting way, these
packages remind consumers to buy grown foods and know what they
are buying.
Additionally, these packages were designed to be useful to the
consumer. Honey, in its natural consistency is sticky and often the
product has to be upside down to have the contents drip. So, the honey
label is both legible right side up and up side down. Similarly, the jam
jar is simple and clear so even a young consumer can recognize the
product when making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
