Hedron. Derived from Ancient Greek, it is defined as the face of a geometrical solid. Similar to the many surfaces of polyhedrons, the work of a great designer must be dynamic and multifaceted.

WOLF RIDGE SKI RESORTA medium sized ski park located in Mars Hill, NC, Wolf Ridge Ski Resort is a favorite winter-time get away for locals and non-natives alike.

Redefine Wolf Ridge Ski Resort’s brand by designing a new logo, website, trail map, iphone app and lift tickets.

Inspired by the Blue Ridge Mountains the brand’s look and feel was designed to capture the chill of the snow and the warmth of the lodge. The iphone app utilizes augmented reality (AR) to help the user locate themselves on the trailmap even without a signal. The user photographs one of many AR barcodes located on signs throughout the resort to determine their position on the trailmap and plan a route to the bottom. It also allows them to photograph the AR barcode on their lift ticket to recieve daily coupons and specials redeemable at the Wolf Ridge Grill.

DESIGN FREAK SHOWEvery year AIGA Jacksonville hosts a portfolio review for students and professionals to show their work and receive feedback and criticism. They have a poster competition for the review in which this poster won second place.

Create a theme and design a poster for the 21st annual AIGA Jacksonville portfolio review.

The theme was inspired by early 1900s freak show and carnival posters. The poster conveys essential information about the event and gives a sense of playfulness to an event that would otherwise be seen as tense. To compliment the theme, name tag lanyards, coffee mugs and books to hold business cards were created.

FEEDING AMERICAFeeding America is a United States based not-for-profit organization. It consists of a nation-wide network of more than 200 food banks and food rescue organizations that serve virtually every county in the United States as well as Puerto Rico. It is the nation’s leading hunger-relief charity.

Create an ad campaign that raises awareness about the hunger problem in America and directs viewers to the Feeding America website.

The ads illustrate the prevalence of hunger in the United States and suggest that everyone can do something about it. This is accomplished interactively, having the viewer physically alter the ad, by pulling down on the tab, which changes the image from trash to food.

SOLIOSolio is a company that makes solar powered, universal device chargers. They have three different models of solar powered chargers. The Classic, the Mono and the Rocsta.

Conceptualize and design a magazine ad campaign for Solio solar chargers to be shown in such magazines as Sports Illustrated and Wired.

The appearance given to the ad campaign is meant to be techy, yet outdoorsy. The graininess of the photographs as well as the type choices, were made to support this look. The tagline, “Take Charge... Outdoors” is a double entendre which implies that the device empowers the user by providing the ability to both conquer obstacles and to power mobile devices.
