I just completed a packaging design class, and for my final project, I had to design a multi-unit carrier that holds clear containers, and the graphics on the carrier and the labels has to relate to each other. We were instructed to take an existing carrier, add our own flair to it and create a new one. Things like net weight, nutrition facts and a bar code had to be included in the design. I studied energy drink designs and decided to convert a pack of Yoo-Hoo into a fictional chocolate... Read Full Story

One night, I decided to visit winster.com, a site where you can play online games for points and prizes. I intended to just visit the site, play a game or two and leave, but I was wrong. I decided to play Slot Social, a virtual slot machine, and the more I played it, the more free spins I won. On top of that, others who are playing in the game room can trade slot emblems with you, so you help each other score. I never said "thank you" so many times in such a short period, but I thought it was... Read Full Story

I decided to take a peek at some of their newest items on their website . Of course, as a graphic designer, I headed straight for the art category first. Thanks to a couple of typography classes, I've... Read Full Story

I'm finishing up an introduction to web design course, and it was really intense! It's amazing how much you can learn about HTML and CSS in less than six weeks. Of course, I only learned the basics, and we used Dreamweaver as a toll to help us understand the code, but now I want to play around with HTML and CSS more so I can learn to make my own websites, especially a site for my portfolio. Each week, I was required to study other websites to learn what a well-designed website should look... Read Full Story

As a graphic design student, I love learning how famous logos came to be. One I grew up watrching evolve is the PBS logo. I thought it was was cool that the P looked like a person's head. The Independent Lens site has three videos on it. Two of them show the different versions of the logo over the years, and the other is Herb Lubalin's explanation of how the PBS logo came to be. Hilarious narration, by the way, and I like how the graphics follow the narration. Here Lubalin's video, and enjoy... Read Full Story
