Sunset Surf Company Branding
Synopsis
The Sunset Surf logo recently underwent a redesign to create a more simple, modern look while retaining its colorful essence. Initially, the logo featured intricate details—waves, a shadow, and complex gradients—that captured the lively spirit of the surf culture. However, over time, it became clear that the design needed to be simplified to improve its versatility and overall impact.
In the new version, the intricate elements were pared down, leaving behind a cleaner, more abstract surfboard and wave graphic. The vibrant color palette was preserved, still representing the energy of the sunset and surf culture, but now in a more minimalistic form. This simplified approach makes the logo more scalable and adaptable across various platforms, while still maintaining the lively, dynamic feel that the brand represents. It’s a perfect balance of simplicity and color that enhances recognition and keeps the spirit of Sunset Surf alive.

Book Cover Project
Synopsis
This poster for the film Oberon, created as a project in an advanced publishing class, is a striking example of minimalist yet impactful design. The central focus is a textured, abstract eye-like form that draws the viewer in with its radiating lines, evoking mystery and intrigue. The monochromatic color scheme enhances the dramatic tone, while the stark contrast emphasizes the eye as a key symbol. Subtle details, such as a spacecraft in the corner, hint at a sci-fi narrative, blending suspense with cosmic exploration. The bold typography for the title “Oberon” stands out prominently, balanced by the clean arrangement of the cast and production credits above and below. The overall composition conveys tension, curiosity, and an otherworldly allure, perfectly aligning with the film’s themes.
