PACKAGE DESIGN: Science Supply Solutions

Science Supply Solutions contacted me to create packaging for their line of experiment kits that they will be releasing this year. They didn't give too much information as to what direction they wanted me to take it, but stressed that the packaging should be colorful and fun. Initially, I tried to make them look consistent for each category (Biology, Physics and Chemistry), but that is not what they wanted. After mocking up the whole Science Cube line (38pcs! No sleep!) for their trade show booth in New York, I realized that the common elements and layout of the packages worked well. I always say, "If the design makes you look twice or pick up the package, then I have done my job." 
Here is a sneak peek at the line...

WEBSITE DESIGN: Wood Dale Dentistry

I teamed up with Bill Kooties and Moonhouse Productions to create a website revamp for Dr. Richie Lerias of Wood Dale Dentistry. He wanted a clean, no frills website where patients can make appointments, get a quick overview of his practice and see what he is all about without the look of the  cheesy templates that most of his colleagues were using. He does great work! Sign up!

LOGO DESIGN & MEDIA: C.A.S.T. Crew

So, I've been a little busy sharpening up my angling skills these days. I try to go on as many excursions as I can with some buddies of mine to find creatures lurking in Midwest bodies of water. We call ourselves the C.A.S.T. Crew (Chicago Angler Supreme Team). We have made it a goal to create a Wu-Tang clan of anglers and show our generation that fishing isn't just for hillbillies. Yee Haw!
We started by creating a logo that incorporated our love of angling and music (hip hop specifically). Here is the one we agreed upon. Simple and to the point!
Next on the agenda was to start a blog and document our catches
I also put together a video intro to keep the videos consistent. All of the members have been doing a good job putting out videos independently. We have a lot of plans for the new year, but we wanted to start it off with a limited tee shirt that we released on Black Friday. It can still be purchased at the C.A.S.T. STORE
here is what it looks like...
I also did a commercial for my buddies at Equilibrium bags showing how I converted their product into the ultimate urban angler bag.
Aside from catching fish, the C.A.S.T. crew allows me to catch wreck utilizing all of my media skills. After we began this quest, we did some research and found a whole underground culture of like-minded fisherman all over the world!
This might be the beginning of something BIG!
TIGHT LINES! BANG!

LOGO DESIGN: Natural Balance 101

A company interested in putting out their own line of negative ion bands asked me to design a logo and packaging for their brand Natural Balance 101. I really didn't know too much about the technology, but when it was demonstrated to me, I was freaked out! I will be wearing a sample that they gave me for a couple of weeks and see if it makes a difference. I will keep you informed. Shown below is the logo, packaging and a couple of product shots that I took for their online store.



CUSTOM KICKS: PINOY PRIDE

The base shoe for this project was a pair of all white Air Max 90s. The customer wanted the pair to reflect her Filipino heritage. I took elements of the Filipino flag and flipped them up a bit. Here is what they looked like...


MUSIC: OPUS mixtape cover

Producers Fanum and Isle of Weight, collectively known as the OPUS, needed a cover for their new compilation "The Opus of the Opus vol. 2." I originally created the volume one cover a while back and used multiple instruments to spell out their name. This time I thought that it would be more cohesive to make one instrument and treat it like a graffiti piece. You have to stare at it a little, but you can see their name spelled out in the brass instrument. A new favorite...
