Dress-form created entirely from different typefaces that reflect the coordinating characteristics of dramatic, genuine, loyal and ambitious.

Created my own fashion brand based on the concept of using invis-ible zippers to give the garments adaptablil ity. I created the logo of “Fusion” to represent the predominatly neautral base of my clothes with colorful accents that reflect the current trend. The “I” in Fusion is a zipper representing the technology that will set the Fusion brand apart from the rest.

Using the fashion brand Fusion, I created a shirt prototype showing the convertible sleeve lengths. I styled the outfits to show the shirt with long sleeves, short sleeves and as a vest and took all the photography.

Using the fashion brand Fusion, I created a magazine adver-tisment spread. Once again I styled all of the outfits and took the photography.

Using the fashion brand Fusion, I created a billboard that shows the transition of the garment from long sleeves to short sleeves and then to a vest. The logo is used on the crossing walk. A coordinating bench sits infront of the billboard saying “One Shirt, One City, Endless Possibilit ies”.

Using the fashion brand Fusion, I created an iphone take over advertis-ment. The small banner ad would first appear on the bottom of a fashion based app and then it would expand to takeover the screen. The user would then have to “unzip” to reveal the three versions of the Fusion shirt.

A direct mail piece brochure with a die-cut tree line as shown in the folded version of the brochure. The envelope would then feature a square die-cut in order to show the title of the brochure that is in the envelope. The last item shows the from of the envelope.

When the brochure opens, there will be an eagle that will act as a “save the date” and can be detached as well as stands on its own. There will also be spot gloss varnish in the shape of Davdison’s artwork.

The spot gloss varnish is placed on advent doors that open up to reveal the colored version of the artwork and a description of the artwork. The back of the brochure includes information on the museum and the times of the exibit.
