WHAT I BUILD, I AM

As the daughter of an architect and furniture maker I

grew up tinkering around a wood shop from a young

age. Whether it was for a school project or something

that I had dreamt up on my own, I was taught that all

ideas were valuable and worth experimenting with.

In addition to shop safety my dad showed me that

the process of creating was just as important as the

final product and should be treated with the same

care. All of these lessons have stayed with me and

continue to influence the way I work and the way in

which I see design. I have always been very hands-

on in the design process, from initial sketches to the

production stage. I pride myself on my interest in a

variety of techniques and skills. Knowing my way

around a wood shop has helped me more than I ever

thought it could, but ultimately what has impacted

me the most is the way I was taught to see a problem

and solve for it in a creative way. Please enjoy my

work and the portfolio that I have built.

BUILDING A 100-POINT WORD

The goal in this project was to recreate packaging for

an existing board game. Whether it was a collector

or anniversary edition, the packaging needed to

be compelling and show a new direction for the

company. Inspired by vintage, handmade games, my

goal was to bring a nostalgic quality to the Scrabble

lover. There is a good amount of planning and

craftsmanship that goes into building a game like

this, not to mention patience. Laser burning into

the wood and leather was a way of using a modern

version of an old technique to get a similar result.

My favorite thing about this project is that the care

shown by handcrafting and laser etching the box

mirrors the love and affinity people have for family

board games.

BUILDING CONTAINABLE ARCHITECTURE

Shipping container architecture is a new trend that

has not only been used around the world but is

also a creative way to recycle unwanted containers.

For this project the objective was to research an

eco friendly topic and construct an e-newsletter

based on the findings. As a graphic designer I am

always drawing inspiration from other forms of

design, including architecture, industrial design

and interior design just to name a few. I used this

project as an opportunity to expand my knowledge

on new technologies and ways of combining

environmentally conscious living with structure

and building materials. There is an architectural

theme to the design and I made an easy to understand

infographic to show the economic advantages as

well.

CONTAINER CITY

AVERAGE HOUSING COSTS ACROSS THE US_SHIPPING CONTAINER HOMES CAN LESSEN YOUR CARBON FOOTPRINT AS WELL AS SAVE YOU SOME MONEY

_SHIPPING CONTAINERS CAN LESSEN YOUR CARBON FOOTPRINT_There are several reasons for recycling shipping containers into homes rather

than something else. One of the most important reasons is the amount of energy

required to repurpose them. David Cross, a business development director,

explains that melting down an 8000 lb steel shipping container to make steel

beams, for example, requires 8000 kW-hrs of energy. The process of recycling

that entire 8000 lbs of steel into a shipping container home takes only 400

kW-hrs of electrical energy or about 5% of the energy needed to melt it.

_Reusing shipping containers in this way saves not only electrical energy but

also the expenditure of human energy (time and labor costs) and the fuel used to

ship them back to their country of origin. And since they are built to factory with

the specifications, a lot of guesswork is eliminated. This reduces construction

time for building crews and wasted materials. The nature of shipping containers

as building material also allows for the possibility of a number of energy-saving

designs. So shipping container homes are energy efficient in many ways.

_CONTAINING YOUR MONEY WISELY_Besides saving energy in a variety of ways, it is much kinder to the earth tons

recycle rather using shipping containers as land landfill. Steel is not exactly a

compostable material. It is not magically going to turn into organic matter that

will nourish plants. Why would we put our non compostables into the earth that

sustains us in so many ways? They seem illogical that we would dump reusable

materials into landfills and let them sit there forever rather than recycle.

_Also, since the 1980s, scientists have repeatedly warned us that the world faces

a landfill crisis. Former Vice President Al Gore, for example, asserted we are too

“running out of ways to dispose of our waste in a manner that keeps it out of either

sight or mind.” Everything we make comes from natural resources. Sustainability is

the only model that makes sense. Everything we manufacture should be easily

re-tooled to be reusable . This is the proper role for technology. This is true and

harmony with the earth. This is the third degree of reparation.

_The primary goal of building a green home is to reduce its environmental impact

while also creating a healthy environment for its’ occupants. Architects and the

builders do this by emphasizing energy efficiency, reducing fresh water use, by

selecting the materials that are free from harmful chemicals and sustainable, and

by building in such a say that minimizes environmental disturbance. 260K210K

BUILDING A COLOR CODE

Finch Paper Co. is located in Glen Falls, New York

where they own and operate their own forest at

the base of the Adirondacks. The forest is there

to supply the paper mill with sustainable and

well treated wood to keep the mill going strong.

The respect that this company has for the forests

and wildlife around them shows in the way they

give back and keep new generations of plants and

animals alive and thriving. I wanted to communicate

the pure practices and beauty of the environment

this mill sustains by using fresh colors and a bold

type system. This company uses no frills or tricks

to cover anything up. Instead they pride themselves

on an eco friendly system and superior product. The

identity demonstrates all of what they stand for with

its regal pose and beautiful color.

DEVELOPING A BOLD PALETTE

BUILDING AN APPETITE FOR DESIGN

For this project the goal was to repackage or create a

fresh design for a delicatessen of our choice. I chose

to create a fictional deli from Portland, Oregon that

used sustainable and healthy practices in harvesting

their products. With a farm located outside the

city, Woodstock Deli raises and butchers their own

livestock for a fresh and local product. I chose a

signature color for the deli to build their brand from

and used creative typography and icons to easily

display labels and an array of packages. Growing up

in Portland, I was taught early on that it’s important

to know where your food comes from, so I made sure

every package explained the history and process of

making the product. With easy to understand type

and stickers, this place could easily be a reliable and

friendly neighborhood deli.

IMPORTING A TRADITION

No 05 No. 05

BUILDING A CONFECTIONER’S COMPANION

Roland sugar is a product of Mauritius, an island

nation off the southeast coast of the African continent

in the southwest Indian Ocean. Sugar has been

produced here for over 300 years and is commonly

known as some of the highest of quality around the

world. The island used to be governed by the English

but was made an official democracy in 1968. Today,

Mauritius still uses a similar political system to

the UK including a parliament and is also known

as one of the richest nations in all of Africa. After

doing my research on the island and uncovering

the deep history, I wanted to bring that feeling

across in the packaging design. The incredible mix

of international peoples on the island also inspired

a foreign currency theme that shows in the details

and lettering. This project was featured in the Art

Director’s Club Show in New York City in 2011.

BUILDING A STORY THROUGH SONG

Camera Obscura is a band that was first brought to

my attention in the summer of 2009 and the quirky

lyrics and inspiring talent made them an instant hit

in my mind. With a mix of male and female vocalists

and the hint of Scottish brogue, this group appeals

to a wide audience. In my Print 1 class the objective

was to create a tour book for a band of our choice

and represent the music and feeling in a graphic

way. I instantly knew the band I was going to choose

and immediately started immersing myself in their

work. Their lyrics are a mixture of real life events

and whimsical fictional characters so that is exactly

what I created. Using a sort of collage technique,

I brought together photography, illustration, and

other mediums and combined them by using color

and texture as a common ground. Overall the design

creates a energetic, melancholy and emotional tone

for all fans.

DESIGNING FOR A CAUSE

BUILDING A STRONG STATEMENT

The AIDS virus has plagued the world for decades.

The objective of this project was the bring attention

to the epidemic and create a poster to accompany

the message. My first thought was to bring in a

constructivist aesthetic to the project by taking

inspiration from Soviet posters of the 1920s. Of

course these posters were creating awareness about

a much different cause but they were bold and

powerful nonetheless. The fist represents fighting

for the people and creating a strong campaign to

stand behind. The basic symbolism of the red for

AIDS and the golden colors of victory and triumph

are what make this poster stand out. AIDS is not

limited to a certain race or gender and this project

aims to bring everyone together to fight and unite

for one cause.

BUILDING A LUXURY IDENTITY

The objective in this identity class was to rebrand an

existing airline or create one from scratch. I took this

as an opportunity to be creative and come up with

something that nobody had thought of before. The

idea behind this airline is to combine the experience

of private flying and commercial air transportation.

The planes would be divided up into sizeable cabins

that people reserve opposed to a small congested

seat with little leg room. Depending on the customer

and destination the cabin would be customized to

their liking. For example, a family of four flying to

Disney World would be equipped with board games,

family friendly movies, snacks and popcorn. The

bachelor party to Las Vegas would come with a bar,

bartender, and poker table. The logo needed to be

reminiscent of the class and attention to detail the

airline provides. With a silver, black and white color

scheme, it is definitely going to stand out.

The problem was you had to keep choosing between one evil or another, and no matter what

you chose, they sliced a little bit more off you, until there was nothing left. At the age of 25

most people were finished. A whole god-damned nation of assholes driving automobiles, eating,

having babies, doing everything in the worst way possible, like voting for the presidential

candidates who reminded them most of themselves. I had no interests. I had no interest in

anything. I had no idea how I was going to escape. At least the others had some taste for life.

They seemed to understand something that I didn't understand. Maybe I was lacking. It was

possible. I often felt inferior. I just wanted to get away from them. But there was no place to go.

Sincerely,

Leah Scott

BUILDING A BRAND FOR A BREW

Portland, Oregon is a city of close-knit communities

and friendly neighborhoods where the people love

meeting new friends. When the suns out in the

summer, people love barbecuing, walking their dogs

and enjoying a cold beer. Lucky Labrador Brewing

Co. saw an opportunity to combine all of these things

in one fun-loving restaurant. With four locations

around the city, most Portland natives have been

to, or at least heard of, this place and enjoy a beer

there whenever the sun comes out. The brewery is

slowly growing but as of now they don’t have much

of a packaging system to sell their beer. My goal was

to create a friendly and inviting packaging line for

them to introduce into local Portland supermarkets

to continue to grow and expand. With a bold yet

fun color system, I used strong type and the unique

names to create something that fits right into this

neighborhood watering hole.

BUILDING A TEAPOT AFTER A CHAIR

My appreciation for all areas of design helps me to

continuously expand my knowledge and skills. For

my final semester at the Academy of Art University I

chose to take a model making class in the industrial

design department, and our assignment was to make

a teapot inspired by a famous product designer’s

work. This experience allowed me to learn and

create through a much more hands-on process. After

first sculpting the basic teapot shape out of foam,

the steps to follow included vacuum forming, resin

casting, air brushing and sanding. Even though

there was a slight learning curve, I was able to

bring my graphic design knowledge to the table and

use the principles I had learned to create a strong

final product. I researched designers Charles and

Ray Eames and used their simplistic and creative

solutions as an inspiration for my final product.

IDENTIFYING THE BRAND

No 11No. 11

BUILDING AN IDENTITY

Identity design is one of the most important and

influential forms of graphic design. Being responsible

for putting a face to a name and communicating this

connection clearly and effectively to an audience

can be as simple as designing a wordmark, or as

complicated as creating an illustration. The most

important thing is to remember who the audience

is and what will be most impactful when connecting

with them. Another important thing for a designer

to take into consideration is the goal of the client and

to keep their needs and priorities at the forefront of

the project. The following identities are from a range

of projects and clients, all possessing a unique style

and feel.
