STAR Autism Support – Catalog Design

Posted on Sep26 2010

STAR Autism Support – Catalog Design

Star Autism – Portland, OR – 2010
Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign

The small, two color catalog for STAR Autism was designed quickly to promote the latest projects that were being released. The cover is more functional than eye-catching, but not without a sparkle of magic (note the stars flying out of the package in the photo.)

The STAR Autism catalog was printed on letter size paper and folded to make each page 5.5″ wide and 8.5″ tall. The small size was a design challenge and did not leave adequate room to showcase the photos. I was determined, however, to make the images as large as possible. The product names are placed in blue headers on each page and the product number was also located in a header separated by a vertical line. I used stars as list bullets to reinforce the brand name, but made sure not to get too star-happy!

STAR Autism Support – Package Design

STAR Autism – Discrete Trial Essentials Teacher’s Aid Kit (Package Design Upgrade)

Star Autism – Portland, OR – 2010
Illustration, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop

The Discrete Trial Essentials Teacher’s Aid Kit had been a success and the company decided to upgrade the packaging to boost sales even more. The new package was a full color print job on all eight sides (eight sides due to the flap that folds over.) The design still features a number of my illustrations. The box is 18″ x 12″ x 6″ and is large enough to contain a number of toys and instructional materials.

Having this teacher’s aid kit printed professionally gave STAR Autism a chance to buy a number of the toys in bulk and include them in the package. The toys are represented in activities with illustrations like these. Mixing illustration with graphic design is my favorite part of my career.

STAR Autism Sunshine Literacy Kit

STAR Autism Support – Sunshine Literacy Educational Kit

Star Autism – Portland, OR – 2010
Illustration, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe InDesign, Adobe Streamline

The STAR Autism Sunshine Literacy Kit assists teachers with lesson plans, activities, data collection and educational games. Constructing the kit involved over 50 original illustrations and designing hundreds of printed materials. There are 10 total activities that require materials from the kit. Most of the activities required illustrations: 20 illustrations were converted for stencils, 19 illustrations were created for an activity which involves gluing macaroni on the artwork. Additional illustrations were created for the Bingo Cards and Teacher’s Manual. I designed and prepared 434 files intended to be used as flash cards. The flash cards show photographs, colors, shapes and words. Some of the material in the kit is provided on a cd to be printed by the teacher. On this CD, I created custom-built icons. All in all, the project resulted in over 1,000 files that are to be printed by the manufacturer or files that are provided on the compact disc that comes with the kit.

Star Autism

Star Autism – Discrete Trial Essentials Teacher’s Aid Kit

Star Autism – Portland, OR – 2009
Graphic Design, Illustration, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Streamline

Star Autism makes teacher’s aid kits aimed at students with autism. The DT Essentials kit was developed to help motivate participation in the class lessons. The package comes with 11 interactive and sensory toys which students will have the opportunity to play with as they complete their lessons. When a lesson is completed, the student earns a coin, after 3 coins have been earned the student may play with the toy. To make this process as simple as possible, I illustrated a store where the student may collect toy credits. I also did over 11 illustrations of toys that are placed on the store. The final element of the product is the package design. The background of the box contains many of the toys included in the box. The box also features the illustration of the store, a visual representation of the teacher’s kit.
