Promo Magazine
Re-Design

The objective of this project
was to create a new look
for Promo Magazine. The
magazine was targeted
towards men and women
in their mid to late twenties
with high income. That is
the generally the age when
young adults are graduating
college and starting new
careers. This magazine is
to provide helpful articles
and advice in establishing
a successful start to their
careers.

Walt Disney
Annual Report

This was a school project
to create an annual report
for any company of our
choosing. I chose Walt Disney
because of the fun and
colorful designs. I went with a
landscape full page image
style to show off the fun and
excitement that Walt Disney
has to offer. Some graphics
were taken from Disney’s
existing reports and some
(such as the Mickey Mouse
pie graph) I created myself.

Barilla Package Before:
Re-design After:

This was a school
assignment for Package
Design to re-design a
product. I chose Barilla
Pasta and gave the
product a whole new look.
Inspired by the containers
that Voss uses for their
water, I thought it was a
great idea to be able to
use the container to it’s
full potential. In this design,
the cap doubles as a
measuring cup and the
container can be reused
even after the pasta is
gone.

Woolworks LTD.
Website & Social

Woolworks LTD. is a local
yarn shop that has been
around for many years. This
website is made through
Word Press. Another way
to advertise and market
the shop is through social
media. Creating ads
and events to bring in
new customers as well as
old ones with sales and
promotions. Recently I have
also designed a small cinch
bag that will be used to sell
projects.
