Glam Guitars
PROJECT: During the course of Design Studio teams were given clients chosen by their instructor. Each team
was to discuss a plan of action with their client to ensure that their needs were met through out the whole design
process to achieve the ultimate goal.
TARGET MARKET: Glam Guitars targets musicians, that would like to donate an instrument to get it customized
using Swarovski crystals—all with a fund-raising auction and worthy non profits in mind.
DESIGN: Glam Guitars is an organization founded here in Denver, Colorado by Bill Valaika. His vision was to
bring prominent performers and the nonprofit world together. Our team created a logo for his company and
collaborated on several different guitar designs. After the design was chosen by the artist, Bill would spend about
2 weeks customizing the instrument. After the artist was done playing the instrument they then would auction it
off and the net proceeds would go to a charity of their choice.

Glam Guitars Overview:
• Glam Guitars is an organization out of Denver, Colorado which designs customized instruments using Swarovski crystals—all with a fund-raising auction and worthy non profits in mind.
• Each instrument is designed on behalf of a performer, who designates a nonprofit to receive proceeds from an auction.
• The team first sketches a blueprint and after a collaborative process finalizes a design.
• Then the crystals are arranged carefully by hand, and a functioning, music-making masterpiece is born.
• From start to finish, the process takes about 2 weeks, with more than 40 hours alone going to ornamentation.
• Before the instruments go up for sale, the performers test them on stage to help create a story.
• Glam Guitars is a great way to bring prominent performers and the nonprofit world together.
• On top of that, the instruments are rare works of art that will delight their final owners for years to come.

Usa Decon
PROJECT: Usa Decon provides safe and convenient services for hazmat waste removal and disposal. The
new addition to the company is Texas Medical Waste Disposal which is strictly collecting and disposing of
regulated medical and biohazard waste. With the new branch to Usa Decon they were looking for website
that would stand out amongst their others and a gift certificate design to donate as a door prize at a
convention that was held in Houston, Texas early October 2010.
TARGET MARKET: Texas Medical Waste is targeting the greater metro areas of Texas such as Austin,
Corpus Christi, Dallas, and Houston. Aiming to market to a wide variety of companies such as hospitals,
surgery centers, dialysis centers, labs, nursing homes, physician offices, dentist offices, veterinarian clinics,
and anyone who is in need of a biohazard box pick up.
DESIGN: The website was to stand out amongst their others, but still maintain a professional feel that
attracts people in that line of work. While having the freedom to design the layout and color scheme, all
of the content and logo were provided. The gift certificate design allowed me the freedom to completely
design the graphics, while including the standard content that was provided.

Rolling Stone
PROJECT: Re-design a magazines table of contents and include another spread that would be represented in
your chosen magazine. Rolling Stone a classic has had the same layout for many years. It appeared to be in need
of a re-design to attract a younger demographic.
TARGET MARKET: Someone that loves rock n’ roll and entertainment and likes to be up to date with the latest
and greatest. The re-design is to broaden the horizons of Rolling Stone and attract a younger demographic to take
part in reading and purchasing.
DESIGN: Incorporating change into the current design and working with new techniques to intrigue the readers.
The re-designed table of contents is now one spread closer to the front of the magazine, including more point of
interest photos. The article spread was over the 2010 MTV movie awards to broaden the issues you normally see.
The MTV spread was broken up by a full page advertisement for The Hard Rock Hotel’s pool Rehab in Las Vegas.

Rocky Mountain Elements
PROJECT: Logo and brand identity for a new company Rocky Mountain Elements. Creating everything from a
logo, business cards design, letter head, envelopes and a direct mailer.
TARGET MARKET: Rocky Mountain Elements targets creative individuals who enjoy unique and rustic designs
in furniture, frames, and even decks. The demographic is a very wide range, because the designer is so skilled and
can create and build to the specifications of each client.
DESIGN: The overall concept is to identify and brand the company from start to finish. Overall everything was
kept consistent with type and imagery to ensure the branding. The image in the background of the business card,
letter head, and envelope is a picture I took of the wood that the owner had at his workshop. The company
develops unique and rustic one of a kind designs, there are never two identical pieces.

Burton- Coalition Re-Brand
PROJECT: The purpose of this re-branding is to re-establish Coalitions target market, create a snowboard that is
truly meant for Professional and Advanced riders, and to broadcast to the broader target market the changes in
Coalition to create a stronger brand identity and loyalty.
TARGET MARKET:
Primary - Males and females ranging from the ages of 12-24. Surveys show that 70% of males are part of the
market share and females make up 30% of the market share. The primary buyers of Burton snowboards are
typically students and will pay an average of $270 per snowboard. Another 49% of the primary market share has
college degrees.
Secondary - Burton Snowboards secondary target audience is the professional and sponsored individuals who
compete. These individuals are more than likely already brand loyalists or sponsored by Burton. They are willing
to pay more for a snowboard and can be specifically targeted.
Tertiary - Burton’s tertiary target audience includes the employees who work at ski resorts and snowboard
specialty shops along with the manufacturers of snowboards and new consumers to the market. This audience
is the least of our focus and budget and is the broadest audience to target. Branding and marketing to this niche
can be more general.
DESIGN: The re-designed logo for Coalition is to re-establish them in the consumers eyes. The fun snowboarder
doing and “L” grab will also enhance the perspective people had on Coalition boards as if they were for beginners,
now they are stepping it up a notch. The snowboard designs are to show a new unique trendy side and target a
different market than before. The marketing brief is to just give the client an overview of what will be going on in
the process of re-branding and the steps that will be taken to ensure satisfaction. For more information attached
in the back of the marketing brief is the marketing plan.

Burton Snowboards have been a big player in the boarding industry from the start. To try and expand their horizons and target market they created Coalition. A sub-company within that produces snowboards meant to target Professional and Advanced riders by offering a noticeably superior and elite board.
Over the years it has been found that the Coalition Line has not been promoted properly, and the foundations and original intents for the company have fallen short. The purpose of this re-branding is to re-establish Coalitions target market, create a board that it truly meant for Professional and Advanced riders, and to broadcast to the broader target market the changes in Coalition to create a stronger brand identity and loyalty.
Coalition will be making a new line of snowboards aimed towards appeasing those in the “Advanced” or “Professional” areas of snowboarding. These boards will feature multiple new features created by both Burton and the Coalition technicians. These boards are meant to demonstrate the highest level of technology, comfort, usability, and ease to the rider.
* The Coalition line will consist of a Park and Free Style board models, as well as both a male and female board.

New Belgium Beer "Bella"
PROJECT: Introducing New Belgiums newest addition “Bella” to their beer family with a marketing plan, logo
design, magazine advertisement, billboard, and bottle label.
TARGET MARKET: The target audience for this new beer under the New Belgium brand consists of females
in both the X & Y generation. These women are feminine, outgoing, and they like to hang out with the guys and
go to different bars, clubs, and sporting events. The audience makes up 40 million Americans, and they are in the
age group of 21 - 35. These women like to go out and have an amazing time but not go too overboard. They are
experienced drinkers and have tasted their fair share of beer and are into the micro brews.
DESIGN: With both the magazine advertisement and billboard the overall concept was to keep it feminine, fun,
and flirty. Using similar typefaces in both to keep it consistent and branded, the Bella logo is very dainty and light
already giving it a feminine touch. The magazine advertisement utilizes the New Belgium overlapping technique
that is very prominent in all of there campaigns. The billboard really focuses on the woman’s legs making them
the main eye catcher that draws you in because they are coming off of the top of the billboard. Viewers will be
intrigued when they see the billboard and the marketing route taken, the ad campaign will linger in their minds
until they go out and try some Bella, fruitful wheat beer.
