Challenge: Utilizing illustrations designed for a previous project write-up, create a limited sticker collection of iconic Rhode Island heritage.
Design Solution: This sticker collection was actually a complete reconceptualization of a previous project write-up of a window cling series. Focusing on icons of my home state, I developed a series of stickers based off of places that help make Rhode Island what it is, and in turn, help make me who I am. The icons focused on in this project were: Del’s Frozen Lemonade, Narragansett Lager, the Big Blue Bug beside I-95, Iggy’s Doughboys and Clam Shack, Rocky Point Amusement Park, and the Flying Horse Carousel in Watch Hill (the oldest operating carousel in the US).
Since I was revisiting this project specifically for the graphics, I wanted to build a design around them and make them the main focal point. While the window series itself was not up to par, the illustrations were fantastic! I wanted to find a better medium to showcase them on. Putting on my thinking cap and doing some research, I came up with some catchy sayings to really bring these graphics to the next level.
Self-Reflection: As a designer, it never really occurs to me to reconceptualize and re-use project elements. I always initially think to create something brand new, but turning this sub-par window project into an awesome sticker collection was super fun, and not all that time consuming at all! The success of this project will influence me to try to revisit and rethink other projects in the future to really push myself and see what else I can come up with.
