Branding
Brands help us identify commodities-products,
places, and systems-form other similar
commodities. Brands cue emotional triggers to
encourage us to love or dislike a particular brand.

corporate style of branding for the area to create a
sense of place.
My team had to look up the history behind
Cheektowaga and try to incorporate certian features

135 Greene Street New York, N.Y.
Community Environmental Desgin Concepts
Freitag is a company that specializes in designed carry bags
from old truck, car, and bike parts. Freitag makes functional,
tough, and water-resistant bags that carry out their design from
using recyclable products.
Project 5 was an individual project was to design a scrim,
which is a very light textile made from cotton, for Freitag. This
project was to convey a design in a convincing fashion through
our drawing skills. The scrim had to cover the witdh of the
building’s facade, from the ground floor all the way to the top
of the sixth floor.
The idea of the scrim was to clear convey a concept, not just
to decorate the front of the building.
