Teaching Design - As a professor in teaching upper level classes it is imperative that you teach design process and display how to solve problems - create solutions and experiment with the software program to explain the process of creativity - sketches and developmental ideas.
I show this process thoroughly because I do it every day. You have to do it otherwise the students learn nothing!

Mz Perky's Cold Brew Coffee Identity
William Roberts, CEO
My students Piyi Kalampaliki & Nuor Alsekooty & I
All Worked on the Logo, Label & Package Design!
|
We LOVE the new design! It brings in all the elements of both original designs. Love keeping the "steamy lady" part of our original design. That will tie in all old artwork. You guys rock!!!
Thanks again, Will Roberts |
Our students are working on creating the new identity for William Roberts and his Mz Perky's Cold Brew Coffee. The concept developed on the black background was developed by Piyi Kalampaliki as a sophisticated version of the product. We presented multiple concepts for the logo and diverse color combinations. Will and his wife "The Real Mz Perky" really liked the diversity of ideas for his product. The final identity will be a combination of several elements - typographic and visual treatments and label design. During the next presentation to Will we will present the finished concept as a full identity with
|
multiple package designs, letterhead, cards, collateral, signage and advertising. Our students gain valuable experience in learning the design process. The label designs were placed into Adobe's new software program Adobe Dimension. My student Nuor Alsekooty worked with each student's design and placed them onto the bottle icon - it's possible to turn, twist and move the bottle and label in a swivel matrix with the software that just came to the Adobe Suite in October 2017. The capability of students to make more expressive comprehensive layouts is a better option!

Her dedication to success is clear when she often stays and works with me until late at night in creating some of her marketing pieces - she will be an award winner in the coming year. I'm impressed with her design skills and her photographic work as she travels to New Orleans and other destinations in preparing a unique book about gourmet food in my class. It is inspiring where she goes and is able to taste some of the finest food that I have seen. She plays with typographic styles integrated with her stunning photography.

A Visit to Adams Media Group in Vero Beach
Celebrating A Year in Business
As President of the Local AAF Treasure Coast Advertising Federation, I paid a visit to the Adams Media Group in Vero Beach and found a very charming group of professionals who work on all kinds of marketing, web and communication design projects. Leading the Team is Carrie Ludicke Adams, the CEO - Caitlin Rice, Project Manager and my former student, Nick Ellis, Senior Designer. We spent an hour talking and encouraging them to join the Local Treasure Coast AdFed where they will find support, professional recognition and presentations by Design, Marketing and Advertising Professionals. We had a Great Time! I look forward to working with them in the near future and developing a Communication Design Network on the Treasure Coast!
