Vulpes & Vulpes Branding kit

Designing with blank

One of the daily assignments of my Graphic Design course at WPI (AR2301) was to create a small branding kit for the fictional company we created in the first project. The kit consisted of a business card and a folder cover for presentation folder that will contain 8.5” x 11” pages. There was an additional stipulation that the folder cover design couldn’t… Continue reading »

We weren’t allowed to alter the shape of the letterforms; for example, one of the words was elephant and we couldn’t draw the word in the shape of an elephant. I ended up illustrating three words since I got an idea on how to do invisible. This… Continue reading »
