Portfolio: Verve



Verve enthusiasm or vigor, as in literary or artistic work; spirit.

Above is a book, dvd cover, dvd, and dvd screen shots that I created with a lot of verve. I create everything in my life with much enthusiasm and spirit.

Portfolio: Gift Wrap



Copyright 2007 Jessica Wood
Hand-drawn gift wrap! I would like to create a line of gift wrap, cards and gift bags that are printed with soy inks on recycled paper! I love wrapping beautiful gifts, but gift wrap can be quite wasteful. After one opens a gift, s/he often just throws the paper, ribbons and bows in the garbage. I encourage you to save your used gift wrap, bags, bows, and ribbons for future use. My good friend, Heidi Decoux (HeidiDecoux.com), a professional home and office organizer created a gift wrap center in my basement. Now I save all of the elements that are needed to create a perfect gift, each in their own designated area. I never have to buy gift wrap or bags because I save all of them, which also saves a lot of money!

Portfolio: Hayari


Copyright 2007 Jessica Wood

“Hayari” is an advertising campaign for a color pallet that I created with a team of two other people. The color pallet is marketed for use in the fashion industry. “Hayari” means vogue in Japanese. The campaign brings Western and Eastern cultures together to create vibrant fashions for young women.

Portfolio: Byzantine Dream




Copyright 2007 Jessica Wood
This is a book that I created about the Byzantine (early Christian) art movement. It is an accordion book that opens and closes just like the musical instrument the design is based upon. I chose to create a book about Byzantine art because I find the history and culture quite fascinating. I also love ancient icons. Religious art from all backgrounds always carries a powerful mood, evoking many feelings of wonder and curiousity in me. I updated the Byzantine style with many modern elements, such as contour line drawings and some fancy modern fonts. I love to combine cutting edge design with traditional art.

Portfolio: Brochure

A brochure is an excellent tool for a business to communicate a lot of information in a small space. A brochure is also an effective way for a business to introduce a product or service. Well-designed brochures capture the attention of future and existing customers. Brochures are effective marketing materials because they are extremely versatile. They may be mailed to customers, placed in displays, or brought on site to customer locations. Please check out the Adaptive Health Solutions brochure at the Minnesota State Fair tomorrow along with the exciting fitness program that AHS will be presenting.
