    uniE621 Z Gallerie's Gimlet Elixir
    To expand the offering in Z Gallerie’s Barware collection, the creative product development team at Z Gallerie proposed introducing a drink mix to encourage purchase of a larger gift set. The design of the Gimlet Elixir was created to fit Z Gallerie's modern aesthetic and design standards. It features an understated color palette and metallic accents that complement the barware collection. A vintage prohibition twist was added to this classic cocktail to add a sense of glamorous fantasy to the collection, making it a worthy option for gifting and a great conversation piece.
    uniE621 The Napa Crush
    The Napa Crush Newspaper was developed as a promotional voice for businesses in Napa, combined with informative stories and tips for visitors and residents of Napa. The community newspaper commissioned Christy Van Deman to give dynamic visual excitement to its storytelling. Christy coordinated with writers and newspaper content planners to develop the look and feel of the newspaper format, source imagery, and design content in an engaging way.

    uniE621 Infusion
    As a holiday appreciation gift, Sterling Creativeworks produced a cranberry infused vodka for their clients. Cranberries have long been known for their healthful properties, and the name of the berry is derived from the crane, who frequent the bogs where cranberries grow. Cranes are symbolic of good luck and good health. For all of these reasons, the crane was a fitting icon for the design of this label. Typography with well wishes for the new year swirls around the crane, as a bode for good luck. See more of this project at: https://www.twine.net/signin
    uniE621 Solula
    Solula Plantain Tostones are a deliciously savory and crunchy snack, grown and made in Ecuador. Solula’s mission is to bring a taste of snacks from the equator to the mainstream markets worldwide. The visual story is meant to evoke the brand's warm, bright, equatorial, relaxed, fun quality. The design hopes to take the consumer on a brief, tropical mental vacation by using graphics indicating sun, ocean and tropical climate, along with bright eye-catching tropical hues with a rough-hewn relaxed textural element.

    uniE621 Silver Hills Sprouted Bakery
    Silver Hills Bakery commissioned Bright Design for a brand refresh on their popular sprouted bread line. The concept behind this design lies in the unique nutritional power of sprouted grains. When grains are sprouted, nutrients are unlocked making them easier for the body to absorb. The design of a human hand holding a simple sprout is used as a window to reveal the goodness of the bread, indicating how simply good this bread is for every body.

    uniE621 Carbonaut
    The brand idea of Carbonaut was hatched in collaboration within the studio/client team to convey the excitement for this fresh, new, low-carb, keto friendly bakery product. Several designs were presented to explore the whimsy of this name in a contemporary understated manner that would appeal to this consumer. The chosen design direction uses subtle cues to allude to the cutting or omission of carbs with the use of diagonal slash marks, and window reveals in the shape of product in the package design. The playfulness and double entendre of the name itself lends to some spirited “anti-gravity” photography that can be used in web and advertising application, showing the carb-lightness of the product.

    uniE621 Partida Tequila
    The Partida family has held the age old tequila making tradition for generations. With the dream of marketing this spirit to a new and broader international audience, the family commission a new design to appeal to the new consumer while also communicating the pride in their tradition and process. The symbol of the bird was derived from a folk tale describing the discovery of tequila. A bird happens upon the agave plant and drinks the fermented nectar inside. The villagers, noticing the strange behavior of this bird, investigate. And so marks the discovery of tequila. The package maintains a clean appearance with an emphasis on a custom glass shape and the rich color of the tequila. See more of this project at: https://www.twine.net/signin
    uniE621 Duro E-Book
    Duro, a company specializing in PLM software commissioned the design of an e-book to simplify the concept of PLM to the consumer, and aid in matching the software to the customer's needs. Through a clean layout presentation of key points and the incorporation of symbols and infographics, the message is relayed clearly, and a touch of excitement is conveyed with the colorful and dynamic approach.

    uniE621 California Community Foundation Annual Report
    The California Community Foundation Annual Report for investors was designed dynamically, to convey excitement around the multitude of opportunities for contributions toward the city’s future.
