Paperchase class I used mostly a hybrid of adobe photoshop and adobe Ilustrator to design paper goods and mockups. Pantone colors were used for both assignments.
First project was a stationary set based on the lemon shark with the goal to challlenge the stigma most shark species recieve. II’ve done research on 70’s graphic design for this project
Second Project is a Birthday set with pop-up card, gift bag and wrapping paper. Designs were based on 50’s-60’s kitschy designs and physical mockups were made for the card and giftbag.
Both projects can be seen on my online portfolio under this link https://www.briannaro.com/physical-goods
