Seeds of Change Exotic Packaging

I was shopping at Whole Foods and bought a jar of Seeds of Change Korma Simmer Sauce mainly because I loved the product’s packaging. I am also guilty of buying books based on their covers, but I will save that for another post. The label features a deep orange hue overlaid with line-drawn illustrations of ginger, parsley, palm trees, and the Taj Mahal. How can you beat that combination? Its retro-inspired packaging really makes it stand out from the competitors.

The packaging also reminded me of a branding assignment that I designed last year for an English tea company.

Vacation Postcard Style Wedding Save the Date

I just finished my sister’s wedding save the date. I recommended using postcards for her save the date so she has a bigger budget to spend on the actual invitation. My inspiration for the design was vintage postcards. I thought it would be fun to have a colorful, vacation style design,  since she is having a destination wedding in Florida.

For the back of the postcard, I used a more traditional one color approach. I carried over the wedding cake image to the back of the postcard as well.

School Days

I am working on my MFA in Integrated Design at the University of Baltimore. Last semester, I was tasked with designing a series of book covers for an assignment. Since I love reading, I had a very hard time narrowing down my selection to a single author. Finally, I chose Amy Tan since I have always enjoyed her books and I wanted to create a series of book covers with an “exotic” feel. These covers were inspired by the use of patterns that are so prevalent in Asian art.
