Organic Logo and

Packaging Design

This project required me to create a brand for an organic market of frozen food. Fresh Fusion Organics is a brand of frozen soup products that targets healthy eating moms-on-the-go. 

 

The logo was created in Adobe Illustrator and the packaging was created in Adobe Photoshop and InDesign.

Page Layout

​Venture Magazine is a travel magazine that I created as a project to showcase my page layout skills. This photograph is an original picture that I took in the El Yunque Rain Forest in Puerto Rico.

I created a two-page spread and wrote the content about five destinations outside of the U.S. that do not require visitors to obtain a passport. The picture in the spread is my own and it was taken in Fajardo, Puerto Rico.

The magazine cover and the two-page spread were both created using InDesign. Both photographs were edited and enhanced in Photoshop.

This design includes the six basic principles of a successful logo. The design is simple and legible. It is an appropriate and memorable design that I feel comfortable using to brand myself. The logo is also reproducible in black and gray and it is reducible in size.
