DÁ SAMBA /

Literally dá samba means “this is going to become a samba.” It is

a Brazilian expression that says something has possibilities. The

expression came to me as I was trying to figure out what defines me as a

designer. I am always listening to music while working, mostly Brazilian

music. The rhythms and the energy of the songs are constantly inspiring

me. I would do research, find out what the project was about, and pick

songs that would go with the mood of the project to listen to while

working. I think that every project presents possibilities. All you have

to do is find the right components to work with. Every project has the

potential to become a great samba.

MULTIPLE ABSTRACTIONS

OVERVIEW /

Multiple Abstractions is a campaign to promote the typeface Priori

released by Emigre. Priori is a typeface that has a serif and a sans

serif set and each set has an alternate version. The designer, Jonathan

Barnbrook, took inspiration from the type he would see on his

walks through London. This multitude of influences and versions

makes for a typeface with a multitude of personalities. That got me

thinking about our own personalities. Nobody is the same all the

time. Barnbrook believes in the power of design to change people’s

viewpoints. To present one of Barnbrook’s typefaces, this book had

to convey a message. My decision was to talk about this very common

human feeling of searching for who we are in the middle of the many

personalities we have in ourselves, and to do so through the poems

of Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa. An eccentric character himself,

Pessoa wrote under a variety of names. They were not simply alter

egos, they were – their creator claimed – full-fledged individuals who

wrote things that he himself would never or could never write. Like

Pessoa, Priori is an ensemble of diverse personas. I felt there was a

deep connection with the poems and the typeface.

I’m sorry I don’t respondBut it isn’t, after all, my faultThat i don’t correspondTo the other you loved in me.

Each of us is many persons.To me I’m who I think I am. But others see me differentlyAnd are equally mistaken.

Don’t dream me into someone else But leave me alone, in peace! If I don’t want to find myself,

Should I want others to find me?

STRENGTH OF BEING

OVERVIEW /

Strength of Being is a project to promote the paper collection Savanna,

by Gmund. It consists of a book, swatch cards and a poster. The colors

and textures of the paper were inspired by the African savanna so

choosing Africa as a topic for the project was a clear choice. The

African continent has been struggling with poverty for many years.

The book addresses that issue with a positive note by showing women

who are working to change Africa. It focus on three women: Wangari

Maathai, Agnes Pareyio and Ngozi Okonjo-Iewala. The work each of

them do in Africa is different but ultimately it is about bringing more

assets to women. These three women are extremely proud of their

African heritage and believe that preserving their culture is essential

to developing the continent. The colors in the book are often found

in their clothing. The paintings come from tribal face paintings.

The message of the project is that empowering women is the key to

developing Africa and that the tools to develop the continent are in

their culture and in their capacity.

PREACHING SUSTAINABILITY

Class /

PACKAGING DESIGN 3

Instructor /

THOMAS MCNULTY

OVERVIEW /

Restart is a recycling center that would work in the urban

environment. The main goal of the recycling center is to improve

recycling and educate people about how to recycle. One of the

biggest problems with recycling in public spaces is that many people

don't know how to sort the trash and many people don't care to do

so. To bring attention to the recycling center, Restart is colorful and

has an interesting shape. It also has specific shapes for each hole.

It was observed in many studies that holes with different shapes on

recycling centers (like a round shape for cans and bottles, a sliver for

paper, etc) improves recycling. It makes people conscious of sorting

their trash as they approach the bin, and makes them more aware of

the need to recycle throughout their everyday life. Restart also color

coordinates the recycling categories with the colors of recycling bins

that already exist in some American cities.

DRUNKN’ BIRD BIRDHOUSE

THOMAS MCNULTY

OVERVIEW /

The birdhouse is entirely made with found materials. I used wine

country in Northern California as a source of inspiration. The idea of

a drunk bird building its house amused me and inspired me to sketch

some very unusual shapes. The Napa Valley region is very sophisticated

but it retains a laid back and fun style, staying true to the west coast

spirit. That's how the license plates fit in, they make the birdhouse

extremely unusual but perfectly suited for the valley. Special thanks to

James Bosch for helping me to build this birdhouse.

GET ON BOARD

GRAPHIC DESIGN 2

LAURA MILTON

OVERVIEW /

Get On Board is a fictional campaign organized by newtrains.org to

promote better public transportation in the United States through

railway service. Transportation is a big issue in the country. The

United States is considered a developing country when it comes to rail

transportation. The problems currently associated with rail service, such

as bad access to rail stations and constant delays, are true but mostly

because of bad planning. The goal of the campaign is to show that with

good planning of integrated rail systems connecting the city center

and suburbs to the train stations and high speed rails connecting the

entire country, trains are actually a good solution to the transportation

and environmental problems we face today. The campaign is directed

towards the general public as a way to encourage them to push the

government for better public transportation. It is also directed towards

politicians, law makers and companies interested in investing in

railway service. The visuals were inspired by subway maps and public

transportation tickets. The patterns are bold and very lively, bringing

out the dynamism of modern rail transportation.

Olivia in Anatomyland is a kids book done for my Book Arts class.

Anatomy illustrations always intrigued me because of their details and

because organs taken out of context look very interesting. I started

imagining what other things the body parts could be and tried to make

a little story out of it. The story of the book is typical of many children's

narratives. Olivia gets into a strange land by accident and goes through

some adventures trying to get out of there.

NURTURE YOUR BRAIN

MEGUMI KIYAMA

OVERVIEW /

Nurture Your Brain is a fictional conference for TED. The act of playing

has been studied by scientists for years and remains a big scientific

mystery because they haven’t yet discovered how playing is useful,

but it is so prominent across nature that it should have some kind of

evolutionary value. New research is starting to prove that playing is

extremely important for the development of the brain throughout the

animal kingdom. The brochure plays with the idea of nutrition, with

play being like brain food and the information being presented like

the nutrition facts that come on the back of food packaging. There are

many photos of people and animals playing, but mostly of adults. It has

been discovered that playing not only helps develop the brain but it’s

important to keep it functioning, and adults are the audience for the

conference. The brochure and the posters encourage viewers to play

more often and to go to the conference.

THOMAS MCNULTY

OVERVIEW /

Tyke is a line of household paint for Benjamin Moore that has no

volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are extremely bad for the

environment. The idea was to introduce an environmentally friendly

paint with a unique approach. Tyke is completely environmentally

friendly but instead of focusing on the "green" qualities of the paint,

the line is promoted as an option that is healthy and safe for kids.

This opens a niche market that has never been explored by big brand

names such as Benjamin Moore. The bright colors and fun patterns are

designed to catch the kid's attention. The idea is to make them excited

about being involved in the process of decorating their rooms. Yet the

design is sophisticated enough to engage the parents as well.

TODD HEDGPETH

OVERVIEW /

Mango is a clothing store from Barcelona. It is present in 91 countries

throughout the world and has a strong reputation in Europe and Asia.

Like other European brands such as Top Shop and H&M, Mango

brings high fashion to the general public with affordable prices. What

makes Mango different is that they target a slightly older audience.

The redesign of the logo is clean and modern. The same philosophy

is applied to the identity system. The diagonal lines and patterns

reinforce the strength of the modern woman, while the colors are

soft and sophisticated. The photography style is bold and strong. The

typography has a certain disregard for rules and the tall and curvaceous

shapes bring some sensuality to the message. The new look relates

to strong and powerful women of today without overlooking their

seductive and tender sides.

CREATING A BETTER FUTURE

Class /

PRINT 3

Instructor /

KELLY CONLEY

OVERVIEW /

Cirque du Soleil started with a few young street performers and grew

into a small multinational company. If their dream—built on boldness,

risk, and imagination—came true one day, it was partly because there

were older people who believed in them, irrespective of their youth,

image and status as street performers. That’s why the entire campaign

focuses on belief in creativity. Through creativity we can build a more

sustainable world, we can generate a better future, we can help youth

at risk to get on with their lives. Visually the project is very colorful and

dynamic. It draws inspiration from the language of the circus but in a

clean way so the message gets passed across. The campaign promotes

the idea that Cirque du Soleil uses its innovation and creativity to help

make the world a better place. Simple geometric shapes are used in a

creative way, showing that simple efforts can generate beautiful things

and promote transformation.

LOGO COLLECTION /193

OVERVIEW /

The challenge with logos is that they must present a clear message

with very little information in them. Each choice matters. This section

gathers the strongest logos that were done over the term of my degree.

They are presented in black and white and in color.
