Charity Water




Designing the postcards for charity water was fun because we knew that they would be actually used and sent out to promote donations to a great charity. The design needed to be able to turn into a stencil so I used solid shapes that could be cut out to form the stencil. African tree shapes help give a feel of the African continent and dry conditions. The pump shows what the organization is trying to accomplish by providing water to this area. A woman rejoicing under the pump depicts the graciousness of the people on the areas after Charity Water completes a project. I tried to show the woman almost flowing out of the pump building the idea that water creates life and life needs water to survive.


























Chandelier

The waterbottle chandelier was an exciting project. It was fun taking ideas from fancy glass chandeliers and conceptualizing how to do something similar with waterbottles. When discussing shapes I enjoy the more traditional crystal chandelier shaps as shown below. Blown glass chandeliers are also appealing to me because of the funky shapes. In the conceptualizing stage, our team worked well together as we pulled some of our ideas into one design.
