52 Weeks of Science is a pilot program created by the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center. The Fleet wanted to create a program where it would become a center point and a bridge between the science community and the San Diego neighborhoods. The pilot program was launch in Barrio Logan with the hopes that it will extend to other communities.
The program would bring an array of fun science presentations and lectures every week to the residents of the community.
The concept for the logo was to bring together neighborhood and science. The sans-serif font face chosen resonates with the boldness of the community as well as the clean idea of science. The bright colors of green and orange echoes the modern and young, fresh and approachable.
Banners, brochures, flyers, website and buttons were created to advertise and inform the residents of upcoming events.
Knitting is a hobby not many people master easily but for the few people who have become master knitters, been able to knit while traveling is very important.
Loop was created in the hopes that it would make knitting on the go easier without having to deal with tangled yarn. The package design also includes directions to basic knitting stitches for beginners.
The concept of loop was for those crazy knitting aficionados who like to knit while traveling. Loop packaging makes it easy to carry along in short or long trips as well as serve as an educational tool for a beginners. Each packaging comes with three ready-made holes to hold the needles and yarn in place. Two holes are found on the top cover and one hole on the bottom cover. These holes would prevent the lost of needles and the unraveling of the yarn.
The name and logo has the quality of a looping yarn without becoming childish. Elegance and simplicity was the main objective.
The color palette is kept in black and white so that the color of the yarn pops out of the package.
Chili pepper is one of the most used condiment ingredient in the world. Indian and Thai dishes would not be the same without the wonderful flavor of the chili pepper.
This project highlights the different usage chili pepper enjoys as well as the benefits through different media.
The logo concept is taken from the idea that chili is elegant and organic, bold and simple. The H from hot expands to the word Flaming just like the chili pepper has expanded from Mexico to other culinary dishes from other countries.
The main idea is to have this project expand into an exhibit which will educate the public about the benefits of the chili pepper. The project include an infographic map, poster, brochure, banners and exhibit pieces.
The background of each individual projects is black because it emphasis the boldness and brilliantness of the colors red, green and orange. The color palette is kept on the bright side echoing the colors of the chili peppers images used.
Mongolia is famous for its love of horses. And horses play a vital part in the culture and economy of the country. Due to this reason, Mongolians enjoy a very special drink, Kumis.
Kumis is milk from horses, and it contains a higher percentage of sugar and lactose compared to cow or goat milk and when fermented it yields a high alcohol content. The highest percentage of alcohol being 2.5%.
Kumis is not sold in large quantities due to the fact that it is not easily produce like cow milk and also because Mongolians do not consider Kumis a commodity that needs to be marketed in large quantities. According to Mongolian traditions, horses are considered more valuable in other aspects than to be mainly used as milk suppliers.
The concept for the Kumis logo was to play off with the idea of the horse tail without being too literal. The font choice is also playful and bold, capturing the essence of horses, in this case mares.
The color palette and motif pattern on the other hand, are reminiscent of the Mongolian colorful and beautiful native dress and pattern. Upon researching Mongolian culture, the colors red, orange and blue were very prominent. These colors were then chosen to represent the three different alcohol percentages in the package system of 1.5%, 2% and 2.5%.
Don’t Try This At Home is a live science show created by Reuben H. Fleet Science Center featuring edgy fun experiments only possible in a supervised environment, hence the name.
Don't Try This At Home mainly focuses on experiments that are too loud, too messy and too hair-raising to do at home!
The client wanted a logo that would show the edginess and dangerous but also playfulness of the show. Having the amazed skull as part of the logo was a fit. The font used is contemporary and also fun.
The color dark orange was chosen due to the brightness and also because the experiments are dangerous if performed alone. The dark orange color hints at safety orange. Since the color palette was limited to being two colors only, black was the second choice. It would make the orange color stand out more.
For Don't Try this At Home, collateral materials such as staff T-shirts, lab coats as well as a plethora of printed materials such as ads, banners, web pages were created.
In the exhibit space and stage area, Don’t Try This At Home was contained with walls covered with the skull pattern and logo. Banners were also hang above the stage area.
A font book is like a bible for the font maniac. It helps to choose the correct font to use in a design work. And sometimes, if the book is beautifully designed, one cannot help but drool over such book.
The concept for this work was to design a book where the different font categories can be showcased.
The idea was to not only use the book as a font reference but should also contain the bibliography of each type designer and the year each font was designed. Included are also the 1964, 2000 and 2014 graphic design manifesto, this would keep the graphic designer creative juices going.
The content was divided into Old Style, Slab Serif, San Serif, Transitional and modern.
A fancy ornate font was chosen for the logo and the colors are used are cyan, magenta, yellow and black.
Mole is a dish known as a Mexican dish and within Mexico, the variety of mole is as wide as the country itself. One of the most famous moles come from Oaxaca, a Mexican southeastern state.
The origin of the Oaxacan mole is an obscure one. Some historians have it linked to nuns in Puebla, who had the unexpected arrival of the archbishop. With such surprising visit, in the panic of not having time to prepare anything special, the nuns gathered what little condiments had at hand and the concoction of mole was born. Others believe that is the product of a housewife.
While the history of mole is evasive, it has become one of the most delicious dishes from Mexico, and Oaxaca is one of the states with a major mole diversity.
Mole is a tricky dish to cook. The usage of different spices and ingredient can have a major impact on the flavor. Mole also comes in different color and flavor such as green, yellow, orange, red and dark red.
The project is about a restaurant with a very specific item: mole. The name of the restaurant is La Flor Del Mole [The Flower of Mole]. Said restaurant would only have mole in its different varieties.
To brand the restaurant, different logo ideas were considered. is that mole is very organic. The logo reflects this feel. The color palette is nature red-brown mimicking the red mole color palette.
