My responsibility was to create a poster and promotional materials for the film including business cards and a DVD cover. About the Film: Guy Fawkes, infamous English terrorist caught in the midst of the 1605 gunpowder plot to blow up parliament and kill the King, recollects on the events leading up to his capture, the night before his execution. Fawkes finds his recollections preoccupied on the lover he is leaving behind, and the conflict between his earthly devotion to her and his tireless commitment to the principles for which he must die. Remember, remember the fifth of November The gunpowder treason and plot. I know of no reason why the gunpowder treason Should ever be forgot.

And that doesn't even include the bus system. Washington DC was officially founded back in 1790 and serves as the United States capital under the Constitution. The city is full of historical landmarks, unique tourist spots, and political buildings. Currently, the Metro system is used primarily by commuters both in DC and around Maryland and Virginia. In this rebranding and information design project, my goal was to appeal to a new crowd - the visitors of Washington DC. I wanted the map to become much clearer and less cluttered, and brand the Metro so that it no longer looked like the New York City subway system. The map shows how easy it is to get to a variety of landmarks and points of interest throughout the area. Along with a map redesign, new Metro cards were developed as well as signage system. <img src="http://payload152.cargocollective.com/1/5/180795/5354301/DCMetro-Map_880.jpg" width="880" height="880" width_o="1440" height_o="1440" src_o="http://payload152.cargocollective.com/1/5/180795/5354301/DCMetro-Map_o.jpg" data-mid="29822534" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload152.cargocollective.com/1/5/180795/5354301/DCMetro-01_880.jpg" width="880" height="585" width_o="1000" height_o="665" src_o="http://payload152.cargocollective.com/1/5/180795/5354301/DCMetro-01_o.jpg" data-mid="29822498" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload152.cargocollective.com/1/5/180795/5354301/DCMetro-03_880.jpg" width="880" height="585" width_o="1000" height_o="665" src_o="http://payload152.cargocollective.com/1/5/180795/5354301/DCMetro-03_o.jpg" data-mid="29822503" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload152.cargocollective.com/1/5/180795/5354301/DCMetro-05_880.jpg" width="880" height="585" width_o="1000" height_o="665" src_o="http://payload152.cargocollective.com/1/5/180795/5354301/DCMetro-05_o.jpg" data-mid="29822506" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload152.cargocollective.com/1/5/180795/5354301/DCMetro-RedSignage_880.jpg" width="880" height="585" width_o="1000" height_o="665" src_o="http://payload152.cargocollective.com/1/5/180795/5354301/DCMetro-RedSignage_o.jpg" data-mid="29822531" border="0" align="left"/> The Metro in Washington DC is the nation’s second-largest heavy rail system, with 5 rail lines (and a sixth one under construction), about 106 miles of track and... http://jenngiesler.com/The-Refueling-Station http://jenngiesler.com/following/jenngiesler.com/The-Refueling-Station Mon, 15 Apr 2013 08:38:41 +0000 Jennifer Giesler: Graphic Designer & Creative Thinker 5354285 In a collaborative class sponsored by Walt Disney Imagineering, our team comprised of two graphic designers, a production designer, creative writer, and two industrial designers created a food truck concept to be used for special events. The truck was to be placed on the Odyssey Bridge between World Showcase and Future World and needed to fit the theme of both sides of Epcot. Together, Team Food Truck created a custom food truck design, branding materials, custom tables, chairs, and umbrellas, and queue line interactivity with guests. The Refueling Station is Wall-E's robot fuel station that he has developed that serves healthy, organic fuel for robots. Unfortunately, while taking a break from working, other robots destroyed and set fire to his business, leaving him with nothing but scraps. With the help of Eva, the two rebuild using the scrap metal and parts from the destruction. Like Wall-E's home/garage, the food is presented on a rotating display and delivered on a conveyer belt. The menu board is also easily changed for various events such as the Food & Wine Festival and Flower & Garden Festival. While waiting in line, guests can look through viewfinders at various spots around the park and while looking in, they can see Eva flying by or Wall-E cleaning up trash. There is also an open opportunity for an "every day" menu to be developed so that the truck can become more permanent. <img src="http://payload152.cargocollective.com/1/5/180795/5354285/WDI-Marquee_880.png" width="880" height="352" width_o="1000" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload152.cargocollective.com/1/5/180795/5354285/WDI-Marquee_o.png" data-mid="29951156" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload152.cargocollective.com/1/5/180795/5354285/WDI-MenuBoard-2_880.jpg" width="880" height="396" width_o="1000" height_o="450" src_o="http://payload152.cargocollective.com/1/5/180795/5354285/WDI-MenuBoard-2_o.jpg" data-mid="29951956" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload152.cargocollective.com/1/5/180795/5354285/WDI-Truck4_5_880.jpg" width="880" height="484" width_o="1000" height_o="550" src_o="http://payload152.cargocollective.com/1/5/180795/5354285/WDI-Truck4_5_o.jpg" data-mid="29950906" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload152.cargocollective.com/1/5/180795/5354285/WDI-Truck3_4_880.jpg" width="880" height="495" width_o="1000" height_o="563" src_o="http://payload152.cargocollective.com/1/5/180795/5354285/WDI-Truck3_4_o.jpg" data-mid="29950905" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload152.cargocollective.com/1/5/180795/5354285/WDI-Truck2_3_880.jpg" width="880" height="483" width_o="1000" height_o="549" src_o="http://payload152.cargocollective.com/1/5/180795/5354285/WDI-Truck2_3_o.jpg" data-mid="29950901" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload152.cargocollective.com/1/5/180795/5354285/WDI-Truck1_2_880.jpg" width="880" height="483" width_o="1000" height_o="549" src_o="http://payload152.cargocollective.com/1/5/180795/5354285/WDI-Truck1_2_o.jpg" data-mid="29950900" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload152.cargocollective.com/1/5/180795/5354285/WDI-Environment_1_880.jpg" width="880" height="585" width_o="1000" height_o="665" src_o="http://payload152.cargocollective.com/1/5/180795/5354285/WDI-Environment_1_o.jpg" data-mid="29952028" border="0" align="left"/> In a collaborative class sponsored by Walt Disney Imagineering, our team comprised of two graphic designers, a production designer, creative writer, and two... http://jenngiesler.com/Epson-Printer-Ink http://jenngiesler.com/following/jenngiesler.com/Epson-Printer-Ink Mon, 15 Apr 2013 08:31:15 +0000 Jennifer Giesler: Graphic Designer & Creative Thinker 4951144 Given the task of redesigning the packaging for an existing product, I chose Epson Printer Ink. My goal was to update the look of the Epson Printer cartridge boxes to make them appeal more to the upscale designer and photographer audience that the brand attracts, as well as find a way to make it easier to put used cartridges back into the box and seal it. One major problem I’ve found with Epson Printer Ink boxes, there is no way to reseal or close the box once opened in order to reuse the box to recycle the ink. Many places (Staples being one of them) recycles ink and has an incentive program for customers to bring back old cartridges for money/store credit. I never want to bring back just the cartridge, so I would try and reuse old boxes only to find out there’s no way to close them again without using tape. I wanted to find a new way for the cartridge to sit in the box for recycling, in order to reuse the box once you bought your new cartridge. <img src="http://payload132.cargocollective.com/1/5/180795/4951144/EpsonPrinterInk04_880.jpg" width="880" height="585" width_o="1000" height_o="665" src_o="http://payload132.cargocollective.com/1/5/180795/4951144/EpsonPrinterInk04_o.jpg" data-mid="29823543" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload132.cargocollective.com/1/5/180795/4951144/EpsonPrinterInk02_880.jpg" width="880" height="585" width_o="1000" height_o="665" src_o="http://payload132.cargocollective.com/1/5/180795/4951144/EpsonPrinterInk02_o.jpg" data-mid="29823540" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload132.cargocollective.com/1/5/180795/4951144/EpsonPrinterInk03_880.jpg" width="880" height="585" width_o="1000" height_o="665" src_o="http://payload132.cargocollective.com/1/5/180795/4951144/EpsonPrinterInk03_o.jpg" data-mid="29823541" border="0" align="left"/> Given the task of redesigning the packaging for an existing product, I chose Epson Printer Ink.
