Gumball Machine

Package Re-Design

I have always loved the idea of owning a gumball machine. Instead of it’s classic red, I wanted one in black. Well, dreams do come true because I got one for Christmas!

The box my gumball machine came in had a very dated design. Also three sides of the box were the same, and it felt like a waste of space. After looking at it I thought, “Hmmm, I could make this look better.”

So, I hit the drawing board. I decided to make the gumball machine a dark gray like mine. I went with a pink background because that color felt right for gumballs. I also took the information on the back of the box and dispersed it across two of the sides on the box.

The design was made using Adobe Illustrator. The mock up was created using Adobe Dimension.

Birthday Invites

Invitation Design

I decided to create birthday party invites for my niece and nephew this year. It is fun because they both have summer birthdays. I enjoyedcreating invites that fit their interests and personalities. I also love a good pun, so it was fun to play on their ages while sticking to a theme.

For my niece, I went with a more elegant design since her party was “tea for two”. For my nephew I went with a more playful design. He’s obsessed with dinosaurs and we just had to have a “three-rex” party.

This project was so satisfying! Everything was created using Adobe Illustrator.

YCL Sticker

Sticker Design

There’s a tradition that on your 5th year of Girls Camp you become a Youth Camp Leader, or YCL for short. YCLs oversee the camp and help run activities. I was asked to design a sticker for the girls this year. This was a fun challenge because I had to come up with phrases that the “youth” or Gen Z use. After a little bit of research here’s what I came up with.

Once they voted on the phrase I then gave sevral options on the design.

After another round of voting this is the one they went with. Everything was created using Adobe Illustrator.

Wiggle Wags

Sticker Design

I convinced my mom to participate in a Moving Day even by the Parkinson’s Foundations. She named our team the Wiggle Wags. Wiggle because of the tremors and wags because we are the Wagners. When designing this sticker I wanted to pay homage to my relatives who also had Parkinson’s Disease, this included my Grandmother Ina, and my Great Grandfather Leonard both on my father’s side.  My mom (Kelly) wanted the sticker to have a 70s feel to it. So I came up with these options for color pallete.

After lots of deliberation on which one. We landed with this as our final design. The stickers looked great, and our team loved it!

Everything was created using Adobe Illustrator.

Business Stationery

Branding

A photographer friend of mine got a sweet new logo. I loved the new logo and decided to create some branding and stationary to go with it for her. The first step was figuring out the branding. She wanted the blue to be her primary color. From there, I picked more colors that complemented the primary blue and were similar to her creative works. I created a branding sheet to help keep everything coheasive.

Once branding was comeplete, it was time to jump into designing stationary. I created business cards, Letterhead, and envelopes.

Overall this was such a fun project. All designs and mock-ups were created using Adobe Illustrator.
