Bad Packaging Examples

Wow... where do I start? Death by type. Wait! What about all that unused space around the "drop?" Surely they forgot to mention something!

Okay, that's pretty funny, but it does bring up a good point. You have to think about design from every possible angle, including unintended connotations.

Some Great Packaging Examples

I love the use of color and whimsey. The fun shapes suggest the soup itself while hinting at "organic" and "nature."

Beautiful design with simple concentric circles. Nice, soft color palette creates a relaxing mood.

The use of fruit imagery suspended in water indicated by air bubbles seems to say "fresh."

Chocolates often have great package designs lending a sense of luxury.

Another nice chocolates package. Based on the design, I am more inclined to believe that these are truly delectable chocolates, even if they really aren't.

Apple Festival Poster 12x18 Final

My final design for the 2010 Georgia Apple Festival in Ellijay. My goal was to create an event poster that was consistent with the nature and feel of the festival itself (cloggers, country quilts, and Georgia apples of course) but with a fresh, contemporary, and perhaps more universal appeal.

Apple Festival Poster Sketches

My goal with designing a poster for the 2010 Georgia Apple Festival is to capture the excitement of good ol' southern family fun. The Apple Festival has a definite "country" feel, and I want to embrace that aspect, but in a fresh, updated look.

Nice Poster Design Examples

Nice imagery. Successful integration of the type with its surroundings.

Great overall layout and use of space. All the information is clear and organized without sacrificing aesthetic appeal.

Cool illustration. I love the color pallete.
