shameless self-promotion

I’ll admit it, I’m pretty proud of myself for this. It’s my first packaging design project!! I haven’t been doing graphic design for very long, so I still get excited each time something I make turns into more than just a document on my computer desktop. These are self-promotional projects, so none of them were actually realized, although we are thinking of giving our clients the wine as gifts. My boss gave me free reign on these pieces so coming up with the concepts, design, and then printing and making everything in house for the photo shoot was really fun.

Ellie Brown has a ton of work on her website to comb through, and I like that she showcases both her altered books like the one above, and her photography (below.)  On the homepage, there is an interesting essay by Ellie Brown about photographing her sisters over a ten year period (from young girls through adolescence), visually documenting their quest for identity.
