The Bilinguist

The Bilinguist was a concept formulated for an assignment to create a magazine. It is a magazine that connects art & science and purposely makes the use of 2 magazines in 1. One side of the magazine is the art section while the other side is the science section. Both subjects meet at the center.

To make the concept work each subject had to have its own theme without compromising the overall look and theme of the entire magazine. Once at the center of the magazine, instructions lead the viewer to flip the magazine to continue to the next section. Not one side is biased and thus the reader can start from any point making the concept of a “left brain, right brain” magazine successful.

Wells Watches

For this project we were asked to completely create and brand a company from start to finish. For this I had chosen to do a watch company, and have come up with a name > Wells. The Wells watch line takes after H.G Wells, the famous author of “The Time Machine”. H.G Wells was a prominent figure in English and sci-fi literature exploring all the possibilities beyond our own. Its this concept that I have tied into the company. Wells watches are a league of their own and offer substance and quality in a modern age. Wells offers innovation without sacrificing quality and is targeted towards entrepreneurs, innovators, inventors, and anyone who has ever wanted to venture. The product also ties in the idea of time, nature, and the celestial; a product that seeks to unite and communicate on a universal level combining symbols and iconography not just numerals.
