STRR Magazine came about as a combination of all the things I love: photography, fashion, and story-telling. It’s a collection of editorial photography split into 6 different fashion looks. STRR is a lifestyle, art, and fashion publication, with its first issue exploring color idioms. The tone of the publication is experimental and easy-going, represented by the play on words in the section titles: White Lie, Tickled Pink, Caught Red-Handed, Black Sheep, Out of the Blue and Gray Area. It’s a play on words.

Coming into this project, I wanted to combine my styling and photography skills with live models in a professional studio environment. The photographs on their own are meant to stand strong, but there needed to be a common theme that could also extend into body copy of the publication. Color plays a major role in art, fashion, and social environments. It can mean and express different things. Diving deeper into the conversation on color, I took an approach of color idioms for the first issue of the magazine. The existing color idioms correlate to their given colors, and this is what this publication explores.

Each model was given a color and a persona to fit their particular section. Accompanied by articles throughout the magazine, the audience unfolds each theory as they go. Taking heavy inspiration from Swiss Design, we can find elements of minimalism, block layout, sans-serif typefaces, and the favoritism of photography over illustration.

This catalog was created to visually capture Warhol’s persona as an artist. With accompanying stories of his life and overall layout, the design pays homage to the artist. Consistent elements of design that you will find throughout the book focus on bold and bright colors, lots of imagery, and the use of texture and halftones. The catalog comes with a bright pink sleeve with cutout letters.

LOVE MY PASTA packaging was created for whole-grain pasta lovers. Whether you’re looking to make a quick and easy meal, you love variety in your food, or you are looking to make healthier food choices– LOVE MY PASTA was created for you. Whole-grain pasta is known for being lower in calories and higher in fiber compared to refined pasta. Fiber helps promote fullness and lower cholesterol, protecting our heart and brain.

The packaging reflects an elevated, practical, and transparent spin on pasta. Bold and bright colors represent different pasta shapes. Elements of handwritten notes throughout the packaging add a more personal experience for the audience. With practicality in mind, the pasta packaging comes with an elongated lid meant to measure out your portions as you go, making it reusable.
