Rayun

This is another school project that was given to us in second year. The original assignment was a three person project, combining the Interior Design program with the Graphic Design program. The challenge was to invent a product that you would be launching in a trade show, much like the annual North American International Auto Show. The Interior Design student was in charge of creating a scaled down model of your display. The Graphic Designers were in charge of creating the graphics and all things supporting the display. Including the logo, stationary, brochures, posters, etc.

I decided to redo this project for my portfolio. I felt that with a few changes this project could be one of my strongest pieces, so I decided to revamp the majority of it. I started on making a new logo which I carried across the stationary and brochure. When coming up with the image for Rayun we decided that the to make the colour scheme a mix of earth tones. Time for printing came and I decided to go with a non traditional paper stock, something like a linen stock. It has a very deep texture to it, when printed on gave it a weathered earthy look, which you can see in the last photo posted below. Here is the new logo sketch as well as a one of the revamped illustrations, and of course the stationary and brochure. I hope you enjoy this project, I believe it is at the top of my list for portfolio pieces.

Europe Trip!

As some of you may or may not know, I recently went on a two week trip around Europe. We visited Paris, Amsterdam, London, Rome, and a few places in Southern France (Nice, La Ciotat). Yeah I know, a lot of traveling to cram into two weeks. Believe it or not I took 11 Gigs of photos and videos. I have been editing a few and thought I should use them for my next blog post. So here are a few of my favorites. Enjoy!
