Portfolio Assessment
These are past projects I want to improve, get inspiration from, or build off of for my portfolio and skills I would like to showcase to potential employers.
I want to show my ability to layout designs and my illustrations in a way that works well on packages, and as I have worked on setting up my portfolio I have realized that I really enjoy making products for children. Out of the five packages I designed in my package design class, three of them were marketed for children. I am constantly noticing well designed items (toys/books/clothing/etc.) marketed for kids or critiquing others that I think are poorly designed. I knew about a year into my associate's degree that I wanted to design packages for my job, but after noting that the majority of package designs I am in love with are made for kids I have decided to pursue this and find jobs specifically within this field.
Package Design Layout + Dies/Separations
The first example is this nail kit. I designed the dies and separations for this project since we used a limited color palate as an example of a way to save a client money by running a three-color print rather than a full color job. I designed the logo for this project and I took all the photographs as well. I used channels in photoshop to manipulate the photos so they would work on a three-color print. It is definitely student work that is rough and needs to be reworked, but I think this is a good starting place or at least a decent springboard for a new and better design.
Here is another package I designed, created the dies and separations, and also made the company logo for Smith and Foster. This was a two-color print job as per the assignment which made the project a little more challenging.
I want to make DIY kits for kids to make different projects or learn how to make food. There are lots of possibilities for this and these photos are from a project that I made for school that is along that same idea. I designed the layout as well as the illustrations for the items in the kit as well as the company logo for Coru
The picture below is one of the custom dies that I created for a class assignment.

Layout and Branding
I want to show my ability to layout designs that are functional and would fit within a company's branding styles.
This is an ordering form for a cake company I created for a class project at Salt Lake Community College. I designed the form as well as the company's logo.
Illustration Work
I would like to display my illustration skills mainly by creating illustrations for children's books but I would also integrate my illustrations into my design work and use my knowledge of design principles to guide my illustrative process
