Welcome to

The portfolio of Gabe Wilson

  • I am interested in every facet of the design industry. From print production and color proofing to typography and color theory, designers today must be the ultimate odd job, do-it-yourself superheros. My goal is to create something that makes people want to rip it out of a magazine and thumbtack it to their wall.

Jus

Package/logo design (student work)

  • Line of 3 adult targeted sodas
  • Package/label design, logo design

Jus is a soda targeted to adults. Sophisticated, but fun illustrations identify the brand. The logo and typeface were inspired by old refridgerators.

In a sea of competitors, the logo and labels needed to be bright and eye catching, without seeming childish.


House of Sarket

Catalog design

  • Catalog layout and design
  • Photo manipulation and press preperation

House of Sarket offers high end fashion for women. Their catalog needed to feel exotic and custom made, so the cover has a spot varnish of their logo on soft touch paper for a truly unique feel. Catalog also includes custom envelope.

This project was also designed by Josh Wilburne.

Poster design (student work)

Tackling an icon such as Alfred Hitchcock is no easy task. An air of sophistication and mystery has always surrounded his work. Hopefully, this poster pays a very humble tribute to a great artist.
