GIA MOTION+

Brand Identity, Package Design, Design for Print | 2011

PEDALFEST

Design for Print | 2011

This client came to me with a very tight deadline after he'd already worked with one designer on the job, but was not happy with the product. I created two half-page magazine advertisements, as well as a poster and postcard for his upcoming event in Oakland, CA.

GIA i-THRIVE

Brand Identity, Package Design, Design for Print | 2011

This product design was just a small fraction of a large rebranding excercise. Working with an odd bottle shape and an unpredicatable heat-shrink sleeve were both challenges I had to overcome during the design process for this nutritional drink.

GIA HYDRAGEM

Brand Identity, Package Design, Design for Print | 2011

The logo and packaging for this dual anti-aging skin serum needed to embody hi-end skin care, while fitting seamlessly with GIA's existing line of anti-aging/beauty products. The HydraGem logo conbines an abstract leaf & water drop to reflect the organic nature of product, as well as hydration. The design uses minimal typography in 2 colors, screen printed directly on the smoked glass bottles.

ONE BAD LANDING

Marc Allen. Designer

I am a designer based in Carlsbad, California. I offer unique and creative design solutions over a broad range of medias. At one previous job, my boss used to tell me (typically while asking me to facilitate a project outside my areas of expertise), "sometimes we all have to wear different hats around here..." Well, I'm proud to say I've collected a whole lot of hats throughout my 12 years of experience.
