MetroRail






This was a group project done with Ana Fry, May Yateem, and Jean Viera. We were making the public more aware of the new MetroRail in Austin. Reusable bags were chosen to help encourage people to go green and to also try the MetroRail. Material was purchased, the bags were made, and then we designed the packaging which also provided information about the Rail. Designs were created along with a map to appeal to the target audience chosen for each bag. Messenger bags were for business people and students, Shopping bags were for shoppers who go to the mall, Grocery bag is for shoppers to the grocery store, Drawstring bag was for athletes. Each bag also came with a $5 off coupon (which was on the packaging) for a $20 railway pass. The bags would be sold in stores such as HEB, Academy, BartonCreek Mall, and Borders. All of the bags would be offered at each location.

Fieldguide






For our fieldguide we were able to make it about anything and so I chose to make one about the different kinds of pasta. I bought several different kinds, photographed and researched them, and then decided to make them on cards. The front has the name of the pasta along with facts about it and the back shows a picture of what the pasta looks like. These cards would be displayed on tables in restaurants that served pasta in little holders. Friday's has examples of these cards but instead put specials or new items from their menu on them.

Craigslist

This was our first introduction to Dreamweaver where we were to redesign Craigslist in a way that looked more appealing.
