Light Bulb Packaging.




For a Design Process class, this light bulb packaging was designed to safely contain three energy saving light bulbs. Each of three sections is detachable through perforations. The graphics were designed to integrate with the box - the end graphic is a power button that if pushed a light bulb will emerge from the opposing end of the box. Due to the thick chipboard stock material printing became difficult so similarly coloured paper is printed and pasted onto the box.

IEEC Logo.


A logo for the International Education Exchange Council here at San Francisco State University. The logo represents an international posting without a lower order literal reference. One of the requirements of the logo was to be printed in black and white, on fliers for example without losing contrast. The logo is now in use in printed materials throughout campus and online: http://www.sfsuieec.com/

Layout.


This composition was inspired by finding two images online from Jen Starck. The pages experiment with the application of typography and imagery, placed onto the page with a drop shadow to indicate there are two pages.

Pear Fruit Orthographic


An orthographic projection of a pear fruit that has been created using Adobe Illustrator.

Logo's.



For design process class, part of the assignment is to create an icon that communicates a fruits taste. The fruit is a pear and the taste is mellow. Mellow is a seemingly difficult taste to communicate visually so I have incorporated white space to show volume of the pear fruit, using shallow curved lines too. This icon attempts to demonstrate the fruit and taste simultaneously.

SRAM


Recently I met with Robert Priest, Director of OEM and Aftermarket sales for Europe and Gary Mullaney, UK Marketing from SRAM HQ in the Netherlands, a global bicycle component manufacturer second only in size to Shimano. The team were questioning market trends and customer perception of their products thats come equipped on Specialized bikes. It was interesting to talk with the team about product development and how pro athletes are involved to help make products the best, whilst understanding how these can be accessible on a consumer level.

SRAM operates within a group of companies including Rock Shox, Avid, Zipp and SRAM branded products. I found it fascinating to find out more about the way these brands work together to produce market leading products in their own respect, that feature cross platform compatibility amongst their ranges. Particular points were discussed regarding Lance Armstrong's input into the continuing development of SRAM Red components and how this can take place even after the product has been in the market place for a couple of years. His particular input relates to personal ergonomic and anthropometric constraints with the product since no variant is offered for larger hand to hold brake levers.
