EPTNS Sent to us by Mark Robert Allen in Brisbane, Queensland. Having oversized capital letters might be all right in novelty settings, but not on official signage: they don’t help legibility one bit, nor do they look good, especially when the caps are from the same typeface (without any adjustment made to weight). The braille is better set here.

Google sees and knows all. Google knows all of your misdeeds, and will punish them by banishing you to the depths of low PageRanks. Google is omnipotent. Google is kind and benevolent. But Google demands obedience, or its wrath will indeed be quick and exacting. Yes, my friends, Google is God. So say we all.

Graphic Design

“This project for Packaging Design looked at redesigning ineffective food packaging. For my project, I chose the Kikkoman coating mixes product family, as their current packaging is outdated, ineffective, and too busy. Using principles learned in the Packaging Design course, I set out to redesign the family of products, keeping the brand equity the product already has, while enhancing its shoppability on store shelves. The result is an effective and coherent family design.”

“If I’m really stressed because of a looming deadline and my creativity just isn’t flowing, I like to take a short walk just to clear my mind. I try to look for inspiration in the world around me. Chicago is such a creative city that it’s quite easy to take a walk and find something in the environment around me that will inspire me.”

“I chose Columbia because I think it’s the best place for me to learn and grow as a designer, and to network and make connections that will last throughout my career.”
