Package Design

Package design for organic brownie mix.
The client wanted it to look like regular, unhealthy,
loaded with sugar, mainstream packaging.

I took an original design for China Cola in bottles and made
improvements to emphasize "COLA" and de-emphasize "CHINA".

Package design for a line of healthy, energy, power,
gives you a slight buzz, type of snackfood bar.

Some 3D Rendered Designs

Logo I designed for the HomeSchool Association of California

These two type renderings were used in an
educational brochure for Far West Lab.

Other Design Projects

This is a magazine style book of stories written by teachers about students using the Internet in science and math related projects. It's being distributed to educators and the general public to show that you can actually acomplish something using the Internet besides just surfing the cool new sites.

A brochure aimed at the K-12 educational market. Inside are illustrated stories about kids, families and teachers using Prodigy and the actual online instructions to repeat what they were doing. Kinda interesting, especially if you had no idea what you were doing when you sat in front of a computer.

A major software project involving designing the product logo, manuals, disk labels, and packaging.
(Unfortunately, this was DOS based geneology software introduced at a time when the 486 and Windows 3.1 were the major new thing. This DOS software seemed old and clunky even when it was new. The package was nice, though.)

This is a magazine I've worked on for several annual issues that has information about Bay Area science and technology institutions and their programs for educators. Pretty fun working with images from the Exploratorium, Stanford, the SF Zoo, MarineWorld, etc.

For a couple of years I worked almost exclusively for Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab (dumb name). They licensed old rock 'n roll classics and put them on $35 gold CDs. I got to redesign all of that great album packaging into a CD sized format. Kinduva-bummer reducing some of that artwork to fit in a CD, but they let me do some fun stuff to make it work as well as it could. Got to redo titles from The Who, Pink Floyd, Elvis, Elton John, etc. This is a two page spread ad that appeared in Audiophile, CD Review, those kinds of magazines.

This is interesting only because the three bottles of wine were three different transparencies. The middle one was even on a different background. I had them drum scanned and worked some Photoshop magic to get the wine colors just right. Isn't technology amazing?
