Project: Book Cover
Industry: Literature
Target Audience: \"This book is for women of color, ages 18-35, mature readers.\"
Design Needs:
\"Think: raw. candid. vintage in some sort. I like layers (but not too busy), phases, the contrast of bold and simple [i like the idea of bold type mixed with script]. Also, think of \"spilling over\"- like it just doesn't quite fit in the space allotted.
Design Proposal:
Colours — soft, dusty, pastel pink for feminity contrasted with a muted navy blue for boldness.
Art — layered original drawing in pen, ambiguous female, minimalist line drawing.
Text — title is \"cut off\" the page and when another copy of the book is placed above/ below the word \"Whole\" becomes whole, bold serif font to contrast the hand-written style script of the author's name.")

Project: Book Cover
Industry: Literature
Target Audience: \"Ages 13-99, any gender, novice to avid readers of poetry.\"
Design Needs:
\"Bourbon barrel or barrels, maybe a close up shot. Or a picture of barrels stored inside a bourbon warehouse.\"
Design Proposal:
Hand-drawn pen illustration of a bourbon on the rocks, a corked bottle and wooden barrels with added shades of orange to emphasise the liquor.
The style feels raw, moody, creative and not restricted to only mature readers. Balanced suggestion of art and emotions that could be appreciated by all ages.

Project: Book Cover
Industry: Business & Consulting
Target Audience: \"Everyone and anyone interested in wealth creation, peak-performance, self-improvement, growth & learning or business and entrepreneurship ages 18 - 85.\"
Design Needs:
\"Something contemporary, adventurous, constructive, lucrative, clever, and vibrant! This is not your average \"business\" book cover. It's meant to be eye-catching, dramatic, revealing, and a bit odd.\"
Design Proposal:
A colourful, pastel cover so that will stand out from the other usual dark and serious business book covers on the shelves. The use of the human head illustration suggests the austerity of the subject (business and consulting) but is complemented with the 'open' brain and hundred dollar bill aeroplanes to depict a playful approach. I designed this cover to be quirky, thought-provoking and enticing to both older and younger readers interested in money-making.")

Target Audience: \"I would imagine it would probably interest both men and women age 18-35 the most.\"
Design Needs:
\"I would like the title to be easy to read. The purpose of this book is to present the issue of climate change in a manner that anyone can understand, without oversimplification. Avoid the cliche like polar bears or smoke stacks.\"
Design Proposal:
Minimal and abstract yet impactful and modern. The colours pertains to heat (global warming) and water elements which is relevant to the book's topic. The circle and ripples are to represent both heat (sun) and water also. The font is bold and \"eroded\".")

Design Proposal:
A bright and bold cover so that it stands out from the other dark and serious business book covers on the shelves. Straight-away, the green suggests 'money' but the pastel tint adds modernity to this business book. The sketch-y illustration of the brain engraved with a '$' inside is to emphasise the topic. The brain is also used as a visual metaphor for a 'light bulb' referring to 'ideas'.")

Design Proposal:
Very minimal and elegant by not overcrowding the page and more focused on the title. The colours are feminine yet muted/dusty for a \"moody\" and \"vintage\" vibe. The white 'thread' is symbolic to creating something \"whole\"/ the poem on the blurb.")

Design Needs:
\"I'd like the illustration [of my dog] to be stylised but still be recognisable of him. I would like to keep the text on the front / inside the card generic enough that it could be used for either males or females.\"
Design Proposal:
A hand-drawn Miniature Schnauzer (client's dog) using pen on paper which was then digitally coloured. Minimalistic yet a stylish and festive overall design.")

\"We would like our company logo to be playful and not too serious looking. Using fruits/berries (as \"berries\" is part of the name) as part of the logo is allowed.\"
Design Proposal:
I designed a happy and cute raspberry in a pink palette. The raspberry consists of circles in different tones and sizes as a visual reference to 'pop' - berries/ quizzes.")

Target Audience: \"Focused towards a 16-30 age female that are social, want the hottest trends with a glamorous, sexy & sophisticated style. Our designs of footwear would appeal to the corporate/office worker as well as the glam party girl on a night out and all followers of fashion.\"
Design Needs:
\"Design needs to be original and eye-catching and would stand out from other products on a retail shelf.\"
Design Proposal:
Marble texture - a very popular \"aesthetic\" amongst the target audience ie. young adults and bloggers thus making the design \"instagrammable\" when posted with the footwear. Elegant packaging that elevates the shopping experience.
Logo - bolder with more character and impact. It suggests femininity with a stroke of \"badass\". Also effectively contrasts the pastel accents and squiggly lines that adds \"fun\" to the design!
Also makes a trendy storage box!")
