Sticker Design
Some of my favorite designs to work on are stickers! I think they’re a great medium to use when gaining experience with new tools or programs. Recently, I invested in a Cricut and have been taking requests from close friends and family for stickers they would like so I could discover and practice my new skillset.
Advertising/Ads Club Stickers
Theses stickers were designed and developed to be used as promotional items for the Murray State University Ads Club to use at club and campus events. The gradient used in two of the stickers is the same gradient used in the AAF (American Advertising Federation) and the sign/hands were intentionally left blank so that recipients could personalize their stickers.
JMC Department Branding Stickers
The Graphic Communications and Advertising curriculums require students to complete a final/senior project where they can demonstrate what they learned throughout their college education. A business, company, or brand, typically one that works closely with the University, can volunteer to be the client that graduating students within the JMC (Journalism and Mass Communications) Department will use for their final/senior project. Coincidentally, the JMC Department had decided to begin rebranding when my team and I were working on our final/senior project. With my involvement in the JMC sponsored Ads Club, I petitioned for project students to use the JMC Department as our client and both the professor overseeing the project and the department chairman were thrilled at the idea and readily agreed. As a part of this project, my team proposed that the department could hand out stickers, such as the ones shown, to prospective students.
Crystal Stickers
These stickers were intended for personal use only, but quickly became popular amongst my social groups due to their quality. Like other pieces featured throughout the design categories, both crystals (carnelian and citrine respectively) were drawn by me and then later printed and cut out using my personal Cricut setup. While I could have used other methods of creating these crystal stickers, as a designer I was compelled to utilize my own skills and resources to create the stickers from start to finish. I hold this same mentality with any project that I undertake and take pride in saying that I ensure every step of the design process is done with the highest quality in mind.
