Hada Labo Tokyo is a Japanese skincare line that is wildly popular in Japan. They wanted to break into the American market, and this is the final packaging that you can see on shelves today. This line is currently being sold at Ulta and drug stores across America. The last photograph you can see that it has been featured in Marie Claire magazine (more favorable magazine and online press here.)

The NBMAA was looking for a compelling and sellable t-shirt and card for their gift shop. This design incorporates different colors and type faces, nodding to their diverse range of American art, while looking like a canvas itself, with warn edges and texture. The design was produced as a 5 color t-shirt (first colors shown, alternate colors below), and then as a 2 color letterpressed A6 card. 

"Where Art Meet Life" logo was also created as a 4 letterpressed card and a onsie. Museum illustration by Kaitlin Lennon.

With a NYC Vineyard Vines store opening in Manhattan, the Vineyard Vine's marketing team wanted to send out a non-traditional invite to their blogger friends as both an interacted invitation and a promotional piece. With the concept and design branching off of an all-inclusive DIY sandbox and the instagram hashtag #vvsandgram, the NYC meets VV handmade box filled with letterpressed elements, magic sand and adorable beachy trinkets was born.

After receiving the invitation, the bloggers were encouraged to interact with the box and use the magic sand to make their own Vineyard Vines whale, instagraming the photograph with the hashtag #vvsandgram. 40 hand crafted and assembled boxes were shipped out to bloggers to experience a little summer in November.

Initial concept, designs and assembly were all done at Hartford Prints!. Letterpress pieces printed by Kaitlin Lennon, & photography by Allegra Anderson. 

The #vvsandgram box video can be seen here.

Blog graphics for Gardenias & Mint, the lifestyle blog I ran with my best friend Reg. This blog is a place for us to explore our passions in photography, fashion, interior design & food. I created graphics when needed, or whenever I was inspired to do so! 

When that ended, I started creating graphics for my design instagram, @christayung_design for similar reasons - to have fun and continue to play around with trends.

My 110 page senior project. A magazine focused on "green living", including recycled/handmade gift guides, DIY projects, profiling sustainable brands and companies, sharing healthy recipes, exploring alternative homes and showcasing Brimfield, the countries largest flea market. 

Created unique and different design elements for Departments versus feature articles. Art directed and photographed projects as needed, along with gathering found photography.
