During the fall semester of my senior year, I completed my thesis and capstone. When registering for my spring semester, I wanted to take a step back from the constraints of the previous semester and branch out into package design. Package design is something I have been passionate about throughout my studies but I have not had the opportunity to practice. I value this form of creativity because packaging is what drives consumers, it is the crossroads of form and function with creativity and marketing, it is eye-catching, and can be beautiful. With that said, I decided to craft a syllabus for myself consisting of four different package design projects. I have followed two different design books for reference along with different designers and found inspiration. Alongside package design, I have been working on hand lettering. These skills were not outright taught to me in my graphic design minor courses, but there were speakers that came into my class to talk about their experience with both. Those lectures peaked my interest and lead me to take on this independent study. The experience has been different than other design classes without classroom critiques and ideas to bump off of classmates, but I have had a great mentor in the process. I still have one final project to be added to my portfolio as I wrap up my final semester, but please see my portfolio for current work.
