Hello! My name is Summer and I'm a professional and freelance graphic designer specializing in logo design, brand identity development, album packaging, advertising and brand marketing.

I'm the Production & Design Manager at Earache Records where I strive to create inventive & leading edge brand image for our artists through album art, merchandise, advertising, posters, fliers and other collateral material.

Most of the work on here is print based design and identity branding, however, I've taken on (and always open to take on some more) many other projects including: interactive & web design, sound art & music, conceptual & game design, illustration, photography as well as performance art. I've always felt the constant urge to expand my knowledge and skill sets. I guess you can call me the jack of all trades.

Art and design has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. If you like what you see please feel free to get in touch. I'm currently available for freelance and/or collaboration.

Tea.se Packaging and Logo Brand & Identity Development

Tea.se: Exotic and fun tea flavors to excite and titillate your senses.

Green Envy: A combination of green tea leaves with refreshing peppermint and spearmint flavor.

White Passion: White tea leaves with passion fruit flavor added to create a sweet tropical twist

Black Spice: Black tea leaves rolled with cinnamon spice and cloves.

The Process
My task was to develop a brand & create packaging for a product housed in 2in tins. I wanted to create a image that was fun, energetic and a little sexy. The challenge was to take a product as simple a tea leaves and transform it into a unique and high-end product.  Each flavor has it’s own personality and vibrant color palette.  I also wanted the consumer to be compelled to continue using the tins even after all the tea is gone.

Purchase Repetory Theatre Poster Series

Show Poster Designs created for the Repetory Theatre at the Conservatory of Theatre Arts & Film @ Purchase College

The Process
The task given to me was to create a visual identity for each of the shows in the series. The real challenge was to create a poster design that would convey the essence of what each show was about as well as appeal to an audience of 18-25 year old college students. The final graphic style I created was achieved through creative & colorful design brainstorming, market research (talking to students who both attend & don’t attend on campus activities, finding out why they choose certain events over others and what visually appeals to them) & product research (reading all the plays, researching advertising and posters of similar shows, etc). The final poster designed exceeded expectation and helped to increase ticket sales for each show that season.
