Design principles are the elements that
not only make up the design, but give
it life. The use of surrounding elements
allows the project to naturely blend in
with its enviroment. The purpose of this
book is to show color schemes, textures,
and shapes that will be used in the
project, to allow a seemless blend
between hardscape and landscape.

Bodoni is the name given to a series of
serif typefaces first designed by
Giambattista Bodoni (1740-1813) in 1798.
The typeface is classified as didone modern.
Bodoni followed the ideas of John Baskerville, as
found in the printing type Baskerville, that
of increased stroke contrast and a more vertical,
slightly condensed, upper case, but taking them
to a more extreme conclusion. Bodoni's typeface
has a narrower underlying structure with flat,
unbracketed serifs. The face has extreme
contrast between thick and thin strokes, and
an overall geometric construction.

Garrison T-Shirt
Client: 62nd Engineer Battalion
The graphic t-shirts shown here were for
the Soldiers of the 62nd Engineer Battalion
stationed at Fort Hood, Texas. They were
used to motivate the Soldiers on and
off post. The design of the shirt used the
Battalions crest as its center piece along
with the Battalion motto. It was important
to keep the design within todays military
style fashion, so that the shirts could be
used in everyday activities.
