SHAWN DAUT PORTFOLIO TITLE INTRODUCTION
CONNECT THE DOTS
IT’S A LL ABOUTM AK ING THECONNECTION.
BEHIND THE DOTS
What’s with all the dots you ask? They represent the overall scope of design for me, the connection between my brain and the finished product. When I design, I dream big. A single idea is really all it takes to get started. It’s funny though, at the end of many projects, I still find myself saying, how did I think of that?
Design is all about the connections between parts. Is my type working well with my image, is my illustration too overpowering? These are questions each designer must face. In the end, the greatest, most powerful solutions are ones that involve a balance between all the working parts. I think of the word map-ping when I’m referring to certain connections. Mapping, in regards to myself, can be found as a seamless transition between my brain and my hands. It’s quite a strong connection that makes your ideas reality. You could have the best ideas in the world stored up in that little noggin,’ but if you can not impli-ment, express, or create your ideas to fruition, you are at a loss.

SOMETHING NEw, TO Br ING pEOpLE TOGETHEr.
OVERVIEW
Create a new line of packaging for the new subsequent brand of ready to drink mixers infused with Starr African rum. Must be full of life and intrigue that will encourage party goers to purchase it. Color and variety are a must since the majority of our consumers will be female. Appealing to Women, Legal drinking age to mid 30’s, young and perhaps reckless; ready to live up night life.
SOLUTION
Since we are appealing to a pretty narrow market, the design called for a very color heavy and pattern based theme. Adding the revised logo helps reinforce the animal ties in the design. A simple touch of gold on the caps and an easy four pack complete the package.

OVERVIEW
The White Type in Black Conference is based on the vision of the human eye and the mind’s interpretations. It dives into the mystery of whether or not we can always believe our eyes. Sometimes, things aren’t what they appear to be at all. This conference is meant to show how people can train their eye and test their optical prowess. The conference materials featured a promotional book, information booklet, conference badges, poster, and postcard.
SOLUTION
The main focus was on the perception of the eye and the tricks it plays, so we kept a subtle color scheme of black and white with shots of red. The theme of the design was very block-like, and very vector driven, since it helped ease the explanation of concepts. The accents of texture type and readable type allow for explanation and visual stimulation.

OVERVIEW
Mead notebooks are staple school supplies used every year. However, each year a new one is bought, while the old one is disgarded, since last year’s notes won’t be needed this year. That brought a serious dilemma to the table, notebooks are a serious waste of our natural resources. So, why not create a notebook that is both safe for the environment and renewable. That way, a student can utilize the resources more effectively and get more uses out of a single notebook. They must be flexible and durable.
SOLUTION
Keeping reusability in mind, we created a set of items for the Renu brand that could be used over and over. The packaging was designed to be sustain-able and serve a dual purpose. The plastic containers would hold the books, and would serve as a station to wash the notebooks. By doing this, we reduce waste and help save the environment. The design was very student oriented.

OVERVIEW
The idea for an electrolyte ice cream was actually an idea I had for a sports based company. They could market their new ice cream to athletes, and to everyday consumers. The different sizes of ice cream allow the customer to choose how they want to enjoy their product. Another important factor was to make the affects and purpose of the ice cream clearly visible.
SOLUTION
Our solution was to create a style of packaging that would be suitable for everyday consumers, but focus more on athletes. Since the ice cream is a powerful product and helps revitalize the body, we made it with a darker color palette and shots of bold color. The slight grey pattern adds to the depth. The bold information on the back shows the purpose for the ice cream and explains neccessary nutritional information. Overall, sleek and powerful.

OVERVIEW
volcom is one of my favorite brands, not only for their apparel design, but what they stand for and promote. In coordination with their volcological series, this book would help promote a new line of skateboards. Although, the information inside would also show how volcom truly cares about the environment.
SOLUTION
The economic nature of the booklet was hinted but not faked or exaggerated. We touched on the true intentions of the volcom company by including illustra-tions that promote using resources efficiently and effectively. The main goal was to create a sense of awareness, but also promote the new products.

OVERVIEW
Since opening in late 1950’s, the Fleur de Lys restraunt, has been ranked in the top 40 resturaunts in the United States. They want to create a sinature brand of Balsamic vinegar and Truffle Oil. Since Hubert Keller is the head chef, he is the one promoting his business and signature. We created new products the resturaunt would be able to use and sell. With the great recognition and fine quality associated with the Fleur de Lys name, the product will sell to high and low income consumers. The line includes Balsamic vinegar, and Truffle Oil.
SOLUTION
The french nature of the resturaunt called for light accents and flourishes. The main typeface was juxtaposed with a heavy, swashed cursive face. Color was based on the colors of royalty; blue, red, green, and purple. Gold trim helped contrast these bold colors. Overall, the final design illustrates the quality of the resturaunt and the beauty of french flourishes.

OVERVIEW
This project was meant to promote the typeface, Minion Pro. Its inspired by classical, old style typefaces of the late Renaissance; a period of elegant, beautiful, and highly readable type designs. With its many ligatures, small caps, oldstyle figures, swashes, and other added glyphs, Minion Pro was ideal for creating a link between the typeface and the subject matter. The difference in people’s vocal chords are very expansive and were exciting to research. Paired with Avenir, Minion Pro was well showcased.
SOLUTION
By creating a book that uses the faces in several different ways, and a book that shows the characters and glyphs, we achieve the desired effect. We want to showcase the typeface, sell the typeface, and use the typeface to illustrate an interesting subject. The design has a very hectic style to reflect the ornate differences in our voices. The information is both serious and informative. The subject played out well to demonstrate the readability of the typeface.

OVERVIEW
For this group project, we had to utilize some of the Sears equity, but create new brands under the Sears name. We chose several groups of products to cover and created several unique brands. Each brand features its own system and style. The brands are Pacific Standard, Gryphon, Mercantile, The District, Kingdom, and Elemenopea. Our mission statement is to enrich the homes and lives of our customers through the quality products and great value. Our goal is to make the Sears shopping experience exceptional. We plan to accomplish this by offering only the finest quality of products at an attractive price.
SOLUTION
Our goal was to make Sear’s brands, products and services more responsive to the needs of their wide customer base. By offering these products we could appeal to that market. We worked as a group and came up with all the names, directions, and styles of each brand. We then divided up the label making and dieline construction. In the end, we showcased 6 full brands.

GRYPHON
An automobile brand that supplies the essentials for keeping cars sleek. Featured, are cleaning supplies, upgrade parts, and safety equipment. This brand has been modeled after the racing stripes of any speeding roadster. Chrome logos, orange accents, and a flood of black gloss carry the brand to the front of the shelf.
PACIFIC STANDARD
Hardware and Tools are featured in the Pacific Standard brand. Since the Craftsmen brand has so much recognition within Sears, we placed it underneath our logo. By adding this, it brings the credibility and trust of the Craftsmen name to our new brand. We stuck with the bold, red color scheme that Craftsmen features. Simple, direct typography makes the brand more noticeable and easier to read. Subtle wood textures added depth.
MERCANTILE
Home essentials for a modern style of living. We incorporated patterns and tactile objects that would help elevate the brand. Creating a blend of subtle typography and fine-line illustrations, the design is simple, yet informative. A no mess brand where the use of style and material is key.

vARIOUS LOGOS
w HO THOUGHT A LOGO COULd ME A N SO MUCH.
OVERVIEW
Logos tell the story of a brand, and create the image for any up and coming company. The logo and branding system are two of the most important items necessary when starting out. It is for that reason, that I have included a hand-ful of logos that are a successful representation of the brands they introduce. They create the symbol that stands for the entirity of a company, their morals, their outlook, and their marketing standpoint.

MY FRIENDS
Greg Hansen, always a true friend and great designer. Offered a fresh pair of eyes on late nights and always suggested creative ideas. Gina Chang, you’re like a second mother to me, and I mean that. Your caring nature and support gave me the tools I needed to shine. Mark Bretan, we’ve come a long way from Lombard St, running almost ten miles a day. I will always remeber the great times we had and how we stuck out some of the hardest years of our lives together. Friends till the end.
