    Branding and proposal booklet to expand beyond just t-shirts but to become a full service printing company.

The booklet highlights the branding of the expansion and includes all necessary tools needed to set up for success. It goes into details on what equipment we would need to add paper printing products and other promotional products to become a one stop shop for branding needs. Other details include design studio integration for easy application of customer art to the products and even outsource vendors that would help cover orders on the west coast for faster delivery times.

    uniE621 Vinyl Packaging: Heavensake Post-Chroma
    Vinyl packaging design for @heavensakenj Illustrations by Jill Dalbey. Its always a fun challenge to figure out how to layout the necessary type throughout packaging like this. Making sure everything fits correctly as well as color correction everything so when its printed its all cohesive to the brand. I have been collecting records since I was 12. This was my first vinyl pressing so it was amazing to have the physical copy in my hands once finished. vinylpackaging musicmarketing albumart albumartist creativedirection
    uniE621 CD Packaging: Heavensake Deforme
    Cd packaging design for @heavensakenj a south jersey/ philly post hardcore band. This project was essentially a redesign or more polished version of previous artwork. Since I have an extensive background in the printing industry I wanted to make this a nice textural minimal design that was elegant with added gold foil elements to make the artwork pop. This project helped shaped a friendship that would lead to more opportunities in the creative field. Soon after I went on tour with this band as their tour photographer and then started @toallthecrowdedrooms video podcast with the singer. The point here is that you never know what clients will make a big or small impression on your life so its crucial to treat every client with respect and provide the best work you can give. cdpackaging musicmarketing musicpromotion bandmerch graphicdesign printdesigner

    uniE621 iPhone Case Design: Sorority/ Fraternity Template
    This was another addition to the templates created for Printfly Corporation so customers could easily edit this design with their name then send off to the printers. Always fun to try and figure out how to break down images to maximize color limits. In this case it was best to keep cost down and use only 1 color.
