IN 20 DAYS...

I'll be in New York attending the Future of Web Design conference. I am way too excited for words!

 

There are so many wonderful sessions to look forward to. This conference is perfect for me and could not have come at a better time!

Personifying Candy

I really like the new Maynards 'Wanted' campaign. I find it really effective when personification is used in advertising. It really speaks to me that each candy suddenly has a reputation and a story because of the names given. 'Jerry Bomb' is my favourite!

New and Improved Tampon Commercials

I love the new Kotex tampon commercials. I find them immensely hilarious.

Web Mockups - Nestle Purelife

These mockups are for Nestle Purelife water. I am not completely happy with how the image of the mockup sits on the HTML page because at the time I did not think of separating the background image from the mockup and putting it on the HTML page background to fill the whole browser window.

Web Mockups - The Littlest PetShop

I think that this project was very good for getting us to really work with an existing brand and create something new that didn't stray away from what a client would look for. Last semester, we did a lot of creating our own stuff and we really didn't have any boundaries. But we all know, this is not the case in the industry so it was great to experience what it would be like to work with an existing brand. We did two versions of each mockup, the second version was to follow the corrections suggested by the client (Prof. Joe Bodick).

iPhone App. - Nestle Purelife

This one was a little difficult because it isn't easy to create an App. for water. Since Purelife is all about getting enough water into your system, I decided it would be good to create an App. that helps people know how much water they need. Everyone is different, so their needs are different too. This App. takes into account variables that the saying '8 glasses a day' does not.

iPhone App. - The Littlest PetShop

This was a project I wasn't looking forward to when it was first assigned. However, I found myself enjoying the process and the end result. The project was to design a mockup of a mobile version of the web mockups we had previously done. I turned my Littlest PetShop site into a Littlest PetShop App. for the iPhone.

Eros Coffee & Tea

 As a team of two, Oana Romaniuc and I designed this web mockup for Eros Coffee & Tea House. We were given a list of things the client was looking for, which included designing their logo and branding. We researched Eros' competition such as Starbucks and Second Cup and made sure the look was up to par while including the required elements.

Semester Two: Movin' on Up!

Hello again digital world!
Well, I haven't really been gone. I just haven't been on this blog since semester 1 ended. As mentioned in a previous post, I have acquired my own domain name. And since that cost me money, I think it only makes sense that I devote more of my time and efforts on developing my portfolio website. So if you've enjoyed my blog, please come on over to www.theminjam.com .

I'll be posting all my work there from now on. Thank You!
