Passion Project
2006 marked the release of the hit Disney Channel show "Hannah Montana", and on that day the bar was set regarding what it meant to be a pop sensation. This show created a fandom that continues to thrive, and with the anniversary coming up, I was inspired to create this box set featuring the legendary double album release from both Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus back in 2007.
The set features an iridescent lavender outer coating with purple embossed stars scattered across the box. The front panel folds open from the middle, featuring one album on either side and the new Hannah Montana 20 Years logo dead center. Each panel opens to reveal the track-listing on the opposite side and two overlapping sleeves in the middle, each featuring the album logo on one side and the album cover on the other. Inside each sleeve, you can find a heavyweight disc featuring a swirl pattern, purple for "Hannah Montana 2" and pink for "Meet Miley Cyrus", a box set that is sure to warm the hearts of many Disney lovers.

Passion Project
This project was inspired by a discovery that the album "Dear Little Me" did not have an animated cover on digital streaming platforms. Liamani is incredibly gifted, and this project is a favorite of mine. I wanted to match the very personal feel of the music and ensure that the handwritten aspect of the cover stayed intact. This brought me to a blur/paintbrush effect for each of the photos and a flowing reveal effect for the text, continuing that imagery of Liamani writing out this message for her younger self.

This project was inspired by the growing attention surrounding the new boy band JYT and their debut single "What U Want." As the boy band craze resurfaces I am reminded of the large scale production of music and merchandise that we saw with groups like One Direction and 5SOS. Combining that production level with the resurgence of vinyl we see today led me to mock up this box set.

Ariana Grande is one of pop music's biggest names, and her third studio album "Dangerous Woman" turns ten years old this year. I am a massive fan of both Ariana Grande and this project, so I decided to put together a mock collection for the anniversary.
This collection features a 2LP limited edition pressing of the album, an embroidered tenth anniversary crewneck, a tenth anniversary cd and an all-new collage cover for both physical copies as well as digital streaming platforms.
The 2LP tenth anniversary edition is pressed on black and white vinyl with purple splatter, featuring the standard album as well as the tracks "Step On Up" and "Jason's Song (Gave It Away)", both previously unreleased in this format. The outer case features embossed branding and allows for the gatefold to slide into place, creating the anniversary collage cover that would be found on DSPs. Inside the gatefold, you can find both records housed in sleeves that feature the primary album logo and a ten-year design to commemorate the anniversary.
The tenth anniversary crewneck features "Ariana Grande" and "Dangerous Woman" embroidered on the front and back, a purple 10-year anniversary bunny mask embroidered on the front and back of the right sleeve and the new collage cover and tenth anniversary branding printed on the back.

This deliverable was created to promote my mock brand LPR, which was developed throughout my semester in the communications course "Public Relations Writing" at North Carolina State University. Each item in the package aims to engage industry professionals and social media influencers with LPR and encourages them to support the business as it works to build traction.
The package features merchandise/promotional items (t-shirt, stickers, quick intro print and artist showcase CD) as well as personalized items (letter from the CEO and all-access code for the LPR mobile app) that help to create an all-inclusive experience for the recipient.

This deliverable was created to promote my mock brand LPR, which was developed throughout my semester in the communications course "Public Relations Writing" at North Carolina State University. Each advertisement aims to share LPR with a larger audience, primarily those in the music and entertainment industry, while also recruiting new talent.
When designing these materials I wanted to ensure that the correct audience was targeted; therefore, I chose to create this campaign as if it were in collaboration with Billboard. With that in mind, I designed both a physical print design intended for their magazine (carousel slide 1) and a digital design intended for their website (carousel slide 2 and bottom design). These designs are heavily emphasizing LPR's interest in finding and supporting new and unrecognized talent. Each design also features the staple color scheme, font and iconography seen throughout the LPR branding.

These graphics were created to advertise my mock brand LPR, which was developed throughout my semester in the communications course "Public Relations Writing" at North Carolina State University. Each graphic features major iconography of the brand, such as the standard shade of green and the vocal trinity silhouette.
There are a variety of advertisements shared here, each with a different social media platform in mind. In the top carousel you can find two graphics created for social media posts (primarily Instagram and Facebook). Below this you can find a mock newsletter layout intended to be shared via email. The other piece shared in this section is a version of the first ad that brings in moving visual components, as well as audio, meant for publicity on platforms where short video advertisements work well (TikTok, Instagram Reels and Youtube Shorts). Collectively, these graphics work together to create buzz around LPR, drawing in new clients and supporters.
