Focus+Function strictly follows the requirement in which design needs to have a functional purpose. Designers must put all their focus into a project in order to make it functional for the end user to experience. The result of this requirement is what makes design successful. The following works are examples of what yields the result of truly focused and functional graphic design.

As one of the iconic brands of spirits in American culture, Wild Turkey is represented as one of Kentucky’s strongest straight bourbon whiskies. The high proof count and intensity of flavor is what bourbon drinkers have come to appreciate over the years. Due to the high popularity of the drink, this is why the focus of evolving the design of the label became so crucial. This project was designed with the function of elevating the brand to a higher standard and bringing that classic American taste to its label.

owner/winemaker Charles Smith with his big hair, kick-ass attitude and bold packaging arrived in the Walla Walla Valley fol-lowing eleven years in Scandinavia managing rock bands. orig-inally from nothern California, he has been involved with wine personally and professionally his entire life. The history of this unique individual sparked the intention to rebrand his wine lineup to match his determination for modernizing wine. Smith’s wine, rebranded as “Encore” — is a throwback to a rock concert in which audiences clamor for an encore presentation. The same concept was brought to its function: wine drinkers clamoring for another encore glass.

Vintage Denim

A pair of jeans can be identified as everything between rugged everyday pants to distinguished denim. An ubiqiutous article of clothing, it has gained great respect and is beloved by Americans today. This is why Lucky Brand Jeans was chosen as the focus for an identity redesign. The brand markets itself as a premium denim company, but varies their logomark across their products. This project serves the function of creating an iconic mark in which it can be used not only to represent the premium brand, but serve as a reminder of vintage and classic styles.

our pets are our family. They are valued members and deserve the same love and care that we give our human counterparts. In addition, people are becoming more cognizant of their envi-ronment and attempting to live a healthier lifestyle. That lifestyle should be the same for our pets. The brand Kingdom was creat-ed as a premium pet boutique tailored to our animal friends with an environmental focus. The function of the project was to create products in which our pets can adopt the same eco-friendly life-style that we follow. The project was a collaboration with Chelsea Arrington, Leia Perkins, Mariana Paz, Rachel Pan, and Phoebe Crenshaw. We collectively created the branding for Kingdom and its various subbrands.

How many times has one walked through the soft drink section of a grocery store and noticed all the flavors of sodas? The origin of each of the carbonated drinks can be sourced from all over the world. This birthed the concept of creating a convention in which invitees gather together to experience soda offerings from around the globe. “Bottle the World” serves as an educational and entertaining place to learn and experience the growing love for soft drinks. The function of the convention was to create a centerfold of fun-for-all-ages imagery celebrating soda pop.

Keeping Fit

The age old saying “I need to get myself back to the gym” is one often heard that prolongs our efforts of fitness and well-being. Why does one stop? What events could happen that could lead to a spiral of not keeping up with one’s own wellness? This is where the focus of a fitness campaign creates the awareness and motivation for the general public to keep up their efforts in going to the gym. “Don’t Give In” is the fitness campaign that functions to promote wellness among society and increase confi-dence in your own image. Maintaining a consistent routine helps individuals stay mentally and physically healthy while simultane-ously achieving their fitness goal.

The fact that standard board games are currently being replaced by video games is a sad, but true realization. yet, what would happen if the focus of a project could be to bring something that originated from the digital era and transform it into a physical and fun board game? Apple’s ioS App Store has seen huge suc-cess with the groundbreaking game “Infinity Blade.” The story of a lone warrior fighting many enemies to his ultimate rival is a story worthy of a board game. The function of the game was to translate the famous ioS title into a board game, complete with pieces and game structure; perfect for fans of the franchise.

Sustaining Fuel

Drivers are struggling to keep up with rising gas prices for vehicles that use fossil fuels. In a way, it can be considered sur-vival—drivers surviving to pay for gas to get them from Point A to Point B. Thanks to recent technology advances, vehicles are now being manufactured with fuel cells. “Gas Vs. Fuel Cell” is a 90-page book focusing on the differences between gas and alternative fuels that are environmentally friendly. The function of the book serves as a scientific analysis of how the prospec-tive vehicle purchaser can viably consider an alternative fuel and save the environment and trips to the fuel pump.

Every brand is represented by a color, a typeface, an icon, or simply just an abstract piece of art. What is the focus of this mark? It simply is the representation of a brand —how we as consumers remember it. The strength of a logomark can be the success or downfall of a company, which is why this small, yet definitive mark is so important in design.
