MY WORK
This project came to life to fill the void in the local venues around downtown Ponce, PR. Where art, live music, and perfect ambiance came together. Branding was a big part of it, t-shirts, CDs and demos, engraved shot glasses and even custom art. I designed every part of its space and even worked hands on in lighting, woodwork, and more. We made all our advertising online thru social networks. This venue made headlines in VOGUE Latin America and MTV IGGY.
It was created to target a very specific niche: urban bikers. The shop had a bike store, mechanic station, art, and nightlife. I went to Portland, OR to get certified as a bike mechanic to get to know the market better. The bar is still open and its brand (recognizable).
BPS, a business located in Ponce, PR, wanted to expand their market and create their own air conditioners brand (green freeze). This business hired me to create a logo that would state "going green" and "energy saving" when these started catching on in the market.
Probody was an upscale gym. The logo represents just that. That bright yellow color symbolizing gold, the clean look that helvetica gives and the colorful/artsy background, which I brought an artist to paint the background of the gym.
The owners of this building needed help finding renters. They gave me the opportunity to create ads in social media outlets. In a couple of weeks all 12 apartments got booked.
Created high quality audio and video for The Admissions Guru. Edited with iMovie.
The VeryBerry brand was created for hopes to sell its image and open a frozen yogurt.
Brand for a Hookah Bar.
Brand apparel for babies and toddlers in puertorican slang and culture.
Apart from working on social media outlets with pictures and media content, I also worked hands on in hand printing.
