    uniE621 Picture Pop Popcorn | Logo, Package design, Wordmark
    Picture Pop was a artisanal popcorn concept. The project was done over the course of 7 hours as an in class assignment. Wanting to create a fun, eye catching, and bold design, I opted to create characters to place onto the front of the packaging. Pairing this with bold colours and a rounded non-uniform typeface created an exciting brand design concept. The project started with brainstorming my wordmark. I found the typeface called "Winter lemon" and it seemed perfect. With some tweaking of each letter to make them imperfect, the wordmark became something that really draws in the eye! As for the character design, I thought the contrast between the bold lines and colours of the packaging and wordmark with a high detail photo of popcorn would be an interesting idea. The characters design match the flavour names perfectly, with a popcorn shaped like a dress or skirt for the "Romcom" flavour, and a popcorn wearing a cowboy hat for the "Wild West" flavour.

    uniE621 Bianchi Bella's Olives | Logo, Wordmark, Branding
    The Bianchi Bella Company is a family-run business rooted in tradition, offering authentic Italian olives with integrity and consistency. Founded in the 1940s by Mr. Bianchi in Foggia, Puglia, the company began with door-to-door olive sales and grew into a successful vineyard and retail/wholesale operation. Known for their signature Bella di Cerignola olives, the Bianchi family continues to take pride in producing some of the plumpest, most flavorful olives in the world. ​ The concept for this wordmark was to make it luxurious and high end. This product would be sold at higher end supermarkets and therefore would need a design that would reflect the price tag. With a serif typeface, and the gold lettering on the label, this design brings forward the classy expensive vibes that Bianchi Bella's has. ​ The challenge for this project was stepping into a design style I wasn't used to. As a big fan of geometric sans serifs, I didn't have a library of beautiful serif typefaces in my mind, so exploring online for one I felt fit the brand was an additional challenge. I used this project to flex my adaptability and the flexibility in my design skills.

    paper Mad Dogs Hot Dogs & Brewery

    https://www.twine.net/signin

    Mad Dogs is a new microbrewery and gourmet hot dog restaurant opening soon in downtown Dartmouth. Founded by two local brothers; Mike, a seasoned chef returning from Chicago, and Terry, a business-savvy entrepreneur.

    ​Mad Dogs aims to offer a unique dining experience with bold design, industrial charm, and strong branding across signage, packaging, menus, and staff uniforms.

    ​My concept was inspired by a graffiti tag I saw on a wall around North Street while I was taking the bus. A little dog on a skateboard. The simple idea really got the gears turning for the logo design for this project. I decided to sketch some little dogs riding a wiener-shaped skateboard!
