[EDIT: 06/08] Full view recommended. Changed original to my actual portfolio piece. You can see more at www.swavdesignstudio.com

And yes, this piece won an Package Design Award from GD USA Magazine featured in the March 2008 issue. :highfive:

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::


Here is the [link] to part two.

-----------------------------

Wow, I just finished laying out the photos for this project. Here is the scoop. I suggest FULL VIEW

Class is Package Design. We had to choose a non-profit organization. I chose TWLOHA [link] since a) I support their cause and b) I really like their design style.

We had to create a sponsor package this organization would sendout to potential sponsors to grab their attention and, of course, get funding. We had to include, brochure (at least 4 pages) gala invite/envelope, multimedia disc and gift/souvenier.

I really brainstormed on a design and concluded that a cube would serve best.I'm really happy I chose that. Its' dimensions are 5 x 5 x 5.

I tried designing it as close to their scheme as possible. Once I upload the sketches, you'll see how I came about it. The foldout brochure was a bit tedious, after I made a mockup, so I decided to add a little designdiddy instructions. They came out well. I'll upload the actual design for you hardcore critics.

The actual invite is pretty sweet and the verbiage of it is nice. I would be a benefit concert featuring Anberlin, The Almost and Switchfoot at about $500 a plate for TWLOHA. The layout came out nice.

The CD was easy, I wanted to incorporate it in the 'O' of LOVE in the panels. The souvenier would be the actual TWLOHA shirt but also a stand for the box which would be a real nice souvenir.

Overall, I'm real happy with the outcome. Lets see if the TWLOHA organization takes a look at it, you never know ;p

Special thanks to Jennie for taking some shots. Hers is the very last but powerful one. Pass by and say hi.

fosho! Let me see what I can do ;p It took about 5 hours to mount. I printed it at OfficeMax. They usually do GREAT printing but I waited last minute and the guy that printed it, first printed it on regular paper then made a COPY of the print on thicker, since he didnt know how to do it double sided. So I had to resolve and glue back and forth. Either way, I'm happy with it. Thanks again tho, really nice of you!
