Big Hook04

_The Big Hook wine drinker is your typical

grungy hipster guy. He wears nothing but plaid

button-ups and is covered in tattoos. In his

spare time he enjoys going to underground art

shows and listening to the Grateful Dead. His

laissez faire personality makes this wine

drinker appreciate a non-fussy approach to his

wine. The guy is on a budget but always has

enough to buy a bottle of wine or case of beer.

When he bikes home to his messy apartment on

the outskirts of town, he loves cuddling up with

his fuzzy cat and playing guitar with his three

musician roommates.

_Trinchero Family Estates came to our class in

search of a new wine label that appealed to

the millennial age group. One pairing was to

be selected for actual production.

_Big Hook wines were the selected winning

labels for this account. They will be out on

shelves by the end of 2013.

_The Less is More campaign challenges people

to be aware of the consumer culture that we

have become. The campaign aims to put a stop

to overconsumption and promote the value of

moderation by using a semi-propaganda style to

display the facts. The design keeps a balance

between being exceptionally minimal and educa-

tional, while still evoking a feeling of excess

through the overlapping of elements.

_Find a topic you are passionate about and

create an educational campaign that informs

people about it.

_Founded by Cristobal Balenciaga this fashion

house has been praised world wide for their

uncompromising standards in couture fashion.

His bubble skirts and odd feminine, yet ultra

modern shapes, are trademarks of the brand.

His Fall 2010 collection was no exception. This

commemorative desk clock aims to celebrate the

efforts of this beautiful collection, mixing

and matching different materials, textures and

colors, much like his line.

AOTO07

_Much like Art of the Olympians, the concept

behind this logo mark is based on the union of

two seemingly separate things: Art and Sport.

It’s AOTO’s mission to promote the coexistence

of these two &celebrate their very similar

paths that both take dedication, practice, and

creativity. The new mark gives AOTO a fresh

new look, with a more vibrant colour palette.

Showcasing the art & sport aspects of it as

equally important. The logo mark symbolizes an

abstracted Olympic torch as well as the path of

an Olympian artist. Rigorous and disciplined

at the start & creatively free as they branch

out towards the end.

_Art of the Olympians, an art gallery closely

associated with the International Olympic Com-

mittee, came to our classroom in search of a

brand redesign. One of the identities was to be

selected and put to use just in time to show at

the 2012 London Olympics.

AOTO’s headquarters in Florida to introduce

the brand to their organization and help put

Meloza Tequila08

_As a fairly new brand to the sipping tequila

market in the U.S. Meloza Tequila was in need

of a more recognizable label that showed off the

traditional qualities of this rustic drink.

Priced at $50 for their current line, including

Reposado and Anejo, the brand aims to attract

an older more sophisticated audience by intro-

ducing a higher end Extra Anejo label. The $200

price point called for a much more sophisticated

design that exemplified the sipping quality of

this nicely crafted traditional Mexican spirit.

_Take an existing liquor packaging, redesign

their current brand and introduce a higher

price point label to their spirit line.
