    uniE621 ZooTunes Poster
    Please view the full project on my website: dylanthurgood.com/ZooTunes My task was to design and illustrate a poster to promote ZooTune’s 2020 lineup. I developed a visual style representative of the unique nature of this event to speak to the mixed audience this series attracts. #graphicdesigner #illustrator #designer #branding #typographer…
    uniE621 Wait But Why Magazine
    Please view the full project on my website: dylanthurgood.com/Wait_But_Why My task was to create a physical magazine that aggregates some of the longer multi-part posts from the Wait But Why blog into a marketable product for the blog’s online store. The magazine should function as a replacement to the unformatted pdfs that are currently sold on the blog, but should also feel like a premium collectible product that adds value to the otherwise free online content. #graphicdesigner #branding #illustrator #designer…
    uniE621 Seattle Cider Seasonal Packaging
    Please view the full project on my website: dylanthurgood.com/Seattle_Cider Seattle Cider Co. makes small-batch craft cider in Washington State with locally sourced ingredients and an emphasis on quality flavor and stewardship-focused business practices. Their primary retail product falls into two categories: year-round staples, like Dry and Semi-Sweet, and rotating seasonal flavors like Oaked Maple and Berry Rosé. The release of seasonal flavors is an opportunity to engage consumers with unique cider varieties and capitalize on the scarcity mindset of limited availability. My task was to redesign the packaging for Seattle Cider Co.’s seasonal flavors to differentiate it from their year-round offerings and engage new customers. #graphicdesigner #branding #designer…
    uniE621 REI Co-op Gift Cards
    Please view the full project on my website: dylanthurgood.com/REI_Gift_Cards Each year REI Co-op updates their gift cards in time for the holiday season in an effort to renew customer excitement and increase purchase rates. I collaborated with the design team at REI to create two collections of gift cards that hit stores in October 2019. We aimed to create collections that were thoughtful, engaging, and delightful — helping remove the stigma of thoughtlessness associated with giving gift cards. By creating unified collections of topical cards that were relevant to how REI customers live their lives we were able to increase gift card purchases both online and in-store by 41% year over year. #illustrator #designer #branding #graphicdesigner…
