Based on the dazzling presence of a Hollywood Cigar Girl, Stella’s Cigars will bring you back to the 1930’s making you feel like you yourself are in a speakeasy enjoying a smoke from a Cigar Girl. With flavors including Lavender and Blackberry, the botanical cigar collection is one of a kind to be enjoyed by men and women alike.

For this project I was heavily influenced by vintage german labels, like on matchboxes and liquor bottles. Not many violin string packaging is very illustrative or interesting so I wanted to create something brand new that I could envision using myself for my own violin.

For my final project, I really wanted to do something related to one of my personal interests and play (that seems to be a common theme here). I created a candle brand called Littica - these candles are each related to a classic novel, and are intended to bolster the user’s reading experience by producing layered scents that create an atmospheric experience. This very moody project really allowed me to have fun in Adobe Dimension with the gold foil effect and the lighting.

The first version of the holiday candle line is for the scent evergreen forest. The design on the box and on the candle itself was inspired by the Danish/Scandinavian design and ideology. The packaging follows the Danish idea of Hygge, which is the coziness and comfort of simple life pleasures. This theme blended well with the comforting theme of the holiday season, so I tried to showcase this in beautiful illustrations. I created the illustration in Adobe Illustrator, and created the type in Adobe InDesign. In the second variant, I created the design the same as I did with the others by working in Adobe Illustrator and InDesign, and following the theme of the holidays and hygge. This scent is A Stroll Down Candy Cane Lane, so I focused on candy canes as the core of the illustration, and utilized the color red to allow specific elements to stand out more than others. The design creates a scene surrounding the entire box with elements that highlight the joy of a winter wonderland, and smaller design choices to maintain the dueling hygge theme. In the last candle design in the series I decided simple is better. I maintained consistency in the series through the label’s border on the box and the vector illustration style. What allowed this design to differ slightly is by having a night sky surround the box instead of a changing scene on each side. By doing this, it allowed the deer with candy apples dangling from its antlers to stand out above all else, which brings focus to the scent of the candle. Also, by providing a simpler background with a deep blue sky it creates a sense of peace through the color scheme.

For the assignment Monster Bubbles (or not), I chose to create a line of children’s hair styling products called Dino-Do’s based off of popular dinosaurs.

Lucky Star is a perfume brand created for astrology lovers. Whether you’re an air, earth, water, or fire sign; Lucky Star has a perfume that perfectly compliments your personality. The type treatment, as well as the illustrations, were inspired by vintage astrological maps.

Monster Bubble is a bubble bath for children. This fun illustration style and design was created to be appealing to children but also informing the parents of the gentle ingredients.

This actually started out as a brand of children’s toothpaste but ultimately become a food product. By using whimsical depictions of round, pudgy animals and their color relationship to select fruit flavors, this project was an opportunity to try something more illustrative with bold colors and type.

For this project, we were given free-range to do anything we wanted. I adore beer packaging, so I decided to create three IPA labels for a made-up brewery. The brewery is called Aesop’s Brewing, which comes from Aesop’s fables. I illustrated three different fables for each beer and titled them based on the fable’s story. The story is also included on the beer label. I kept the brand consistent through the layout and varying color pallets.
