Product Enhancements

Design services related to products and dimensional design include: packaging, garment artwork, signs and banners. We have also worked on specialized projects such as the aesthetic pattern for a noise barrier wall and the decorative elements for a concertina.

Below are examples of our work specific to products and dimensional designs.

I-4401 Patterned Noise Barrier

The images below give an overview of the construction process for the I-4401 Decorative Noise Barrier.

The noise barrier included on the I-4401 section of I-40 on the West side of Asheville was the first in the state of North Carolina to include a molded pattern design. Completed in summer of 2008, this project is by far the largest design piece I have worked on.

Essential Journeys Lotion Labels

It has been a pleasure working with Kimberly of Essential Journeys as her business has grown over the years. Initially, I worked with her on refining her logo and creation of marketing  materials for her Soap By the Slice line. Now she has multiple products and luckily for me they all need graphics.

One of my favorite items to work on has been the labels for her lotions. Bold colors + illustration focus = happy design time.

I love finding the colors that speak to the lotion flavor, be it Lavender Morning, Almond Spa, Zinnia & Gardenia, or White Tea & Ginger. Added to these initial four are Chai Tea,

Thai Lemongrass, Purely Naked (unscented), and my favorite Grapefruit Splash.

All lotions are available in 8 oz. and 16 oz. sizes, with a select few also available in a 2 oz. travel size.

Check our the Essential Journeys website for ordering lotions, Soap By the Slice, Lube for the Lips and more.
