Brand Idenity

logo & menu design

Twenty-Four Seven Diner

Denny’s is looking for a facelift. They are launching a new chain/sub-brand in select high-income urban markets. THINK: Seattle, New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles. While still offering American Style comfort food, they are doing so with a modern, minimalist twist, including high-end dinner service. Using your choice of 4 brand names and the supplied information and copy, research and design a wordmark and a family of typographic menus for the new brand.

concept & choices

Kinetic Type - hot shower

I choose to do a lively rap song created by Chance the Rapper call Hot Shower. I decided to do the first 45 seconds as you get the hook and some of the best lines. It has a fast tempo and dense with a lot of words for a 45-second clip.

Brand Material

psa & social media post

1920x1080 pixel PSA style posters for the Women Helping Women Fund and an accompanying Instagram graphic (1080x1080). The Women Helping Women Fund (WHWF) is "a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering women and children to create healthy families and vibrant communities."

WHWF put out a large-scale report on the state of women in Spokane. Our posters will be in response to that report. The report has four sections. Our class will be broken into four groups, each group will read their section of the report.

concept & choices

Women Helping Women Fund

I was in the group where we had to focus on early childhood and chose to focus on kindergarten readiness. I wanted it to have useful information that can be quick to grasp, in combination to being a PSA poster. Keeping it simple made it a lot easier to turn into a social media post.

UI Development

bus tracker app

Choose your own interface to redesign. It can be any kind of interface you want; maybe it’s an app or a website. Maybe it’s the pump at the gas station or your thermostat. Choose something you think can be improved upon and created using Figma.
