Northern Spring Water

"This is a project that began as a joke with my parents while having a drink on a boat on the lake on a hot summer evening. I told them that I wanted to someday/very soon own my own company and do all the design and branding for it. They decided as a joke that I should start a spring water company taken from the cabin. I said actually... That's not a bad idea. The rest remains to be accomplished beyond the branding. Hopefully in a few more weeks I will show the fam. Haha! Things are coming along."

Black Star

"Black Star was looking for a logo that would express the power of a local cooperative. It had to convey a sense of authority without appearing too socialistic. The model of a co-op demonstrates the true meaning of the democratic process and Black Star wanted to exemplify this in an Austin TX kind of way. So it needed to be fresh and non-stodgy amongst the wealth of traditional visuals associated with beer culture. It needed to be fun and laid back in a serious way."

One Village Coffee Bag

"One Village Coffee was found about 3 years ago with the goal directing for profit monetary goals to nonprofit partners to a small village in Nigeria. Since then they have helped organizations around the world on various levels of development work including a de-worming project for children in Honduras and educational development in several parts of Nigeria.

Over the past 9 months we have spent a lot of time with the employees, roaster, and fans of One Village Coffee. One of our goals was to package the sentiments of "a village" into a customer experience. The bag was printed in white + two colors with a matte finish and gloss trapping over the logo. Because the budget didn't allow for more than one type of bag, a different label with a customized icon is used to identify each type of coffee.

Our hope is that the bag provides multiple touch points for customers who want to learn more about the company and get more involved. We are currently working on manifesting the "village" experience online, on university campuses, in grocery stores, and farmer's markets. "

Kjaer Weis Makeup

"The design of the Kjaer Weis cosmetics line distills the fundamentals of women’s makeup to its three essential areas of application: lips, cheeks and eyes.

The compacts are shaped to mirror the features they will be used to enhance: slim and long for the lips, large and square for the cheeks, small and round for the eyes. Aesthetically, the Kjaer Weis line fuses an understated and timeless classicism with the crisp minimal lines of modern jewelry.

Tangibly, the compacts swivel open with an innovative lateral movement, fanning out like the wings of a butterfly.

Entirely refillable, these compacts are purposely conserved rather than recycled.

Cast in white bronze metal, monogrammed in glossy white enamel, and encased in a red textured box, each object conveys the substance and heft of a valuable keepsake."

Fuego Hot Sauce

"Fuego Hot Sauce was designed to educate people about the Scoville Scale and inform them about the types, uses, and ways to use hot sauce in an engaging and exciting experience. I wanted to evoke the authentic feel of the sauces and showcase their natural colors and flavors. By giving the product a sturdy bottle and hearty labeling system, people can feel confident using the product and know exactly what heat level they use according to the scaling system. Each blend is made of completely different peppers and ingredients so that they each pair well with a different kind of food. The Fuego Heat Guide and Recipe book further explains the background of each pepper and suggests recipes that correspond with each unique flavor."

Merula

"70 kilometers outside the city of Barcelona is Alt Penedes, a region long renowned for its Catalan wines. In the village of Torrelles de Foix is a plot of grape-growing land known as Terrer de Sapera. From this land comes the new wine on the block, a merlot called Merula. The name Merula translates to blackbird in Latin—mirlo, also the source of the name of the merlot grape, whose deep wines are said to resemble the color of blackbird feathers.

We designed the label, capsule, and a six-bottle case for Merula. As it’s a new winery producing a grape not typical in Alt Penedes, we opted for a non-traditional approach. Building on the name Merula, we worked with illustrator Miguel Ordoñez to create friendly blackbird."

Mothercare

"John Rushworth and Daniel Weil have designed the branding and packaging for All We Know, a new range of baby toiletries for Mothercare. The creation of a coherent and focused sub-brand enables Mothercare to draw on its reputation as a trusted brand whilst adding new elements that help to differentiate these products from the competition. The All We Know range contains natural extracts, is suitable from birth and has been tested by a panel of midwives.

The sub-brand is built around the name All We Know and is supported through the label copy, which gives clear information to the customer in a knowledgeable and calm tone of voice. All We Know label designs include the Mothercare symbol and name as the primary brand identifiers.

The range packaging has been specifically designed with a number of outstanding features. The bottle is very distinctive, as it represents part of the ‘m’ in the Mothercare symbol. The curved face fits in the hand, the flat end allows it to rest horizontally, practical for use in the bath, and the bottle is designed to be opened with one hand. When almost empty it can be turned on its head in order to get out the last drops. From the perspective of the retailer the bottle stacks easily and stands out on in-store shelf displays.

The range launched early this year and is now available worldwide."

Cafe Di Napoli

"While at Fame Retail, I was asked to take a look at redesigning a local restaurant named Cafe Di Napoli. Serving traditional pizza, pasta, salads and other options, Cafe Di Napoli is the oldest Italian restaurant in the twin cities. After moving from its original location, the restaurant wanted to rebrand themselves as more of a quick lunch option for skyway travellers rather than a full service sit-down experience."
