A ritualistic mask allows the wearer to transform not only his identity but his reality as well. The mask gives him access to places and things far beyond the reach of simpler men. He has become someone different not something different. vessel problem statement: To design a metal vessel which contains, holds, displays or presents three pieces of fruit. This vessel should express emotional, attitudinal, metaphorical or spiritual qualities, which can be fully experienced and described by the designer. These same qualities, or ones that are similar, should be apparent to a person viewing and experiencing the vessel and the fruit. mood When I was a kid I asked my parents for an apple tree. I was captivated by the idea of picking an apple off the branch and eating it on the spot. With this project I wanted to explore the apple picking experience and bring it inside the home. orthographics top left side front right side sleeve attached to wall wall render soap problem statement Develop a name, packaging, branding concept, and sculpted form of soap for a specific, randomly chosen, consumer. consumer profile A young banker from Australia who recently moved to the United States with his wife and infant daughter. They are homesick and suffering from skin allergies. mood With this project I wanted to utilize images, objects and ingredients that would be familiar to any native Australian. I wanted to convey how great the distance between Australia and the US really is. I wanted it to look expensive but it had to have a sense of fun. The playfulness would help justify the cost and thus justify the purchase. boomerang sleeve bullroarer crate with crowbar wrapped parcel envelope package cg model & label The soapbar is shaped like a bullroarer.

The word Dreamtime is the Aboriginal concept for the time before man or before creation. pen problem statement: To design a pen for the Marksman design award. Although the competition had its own set of guidelines our professor gave us the freedom to do whatever we wanted. I chose to explore the idea of signing one’s name in blood. The pen I created is meant for one time use or limited use. I wanted it to look painful but elegant. The presentation was also a key part of the project so I’ve tried to incorporate it into my portfolio’s existing layout. mood BloodLines Step 1: apply pressure to draw blood Step 2: write with blood Step 3: repeat until light-headed e-reader chess set a magnet hidden inside the base keeps the pieces up-right nightstand professional David Saldoff Jesse Bulger David Saldoff David Saldoff Jesse Bulger Design Team: David Saldoff, Ken Kowalski, Jesse Bulger domino’s pizza professional New logo for all Canadian Tire gas stations.
