A freelance project I did for Mitchell Place Gallery in Muncie, Indiana. The direction I was given was to be “artsy” and “creative.” The advertisementis for a Halloween party. The Ad was run in the Muncie Star Press

This poster was the promotional item for Travis Lee’s solo show at Mitchell Place Gallery in Muncie, Indiana. The initials stood for “Things I
Would Risk My Life To Save While My House Is Burning Down.”

The show took place April 30th through June 1st, 2003. The picture of the cigarettes is one of Travis Lee’s photographs and goes along with a
performance he conducted at the reception of the show where he smoked his first cigarette.

Made as a promotional piece for Travis's web site proofofexistence.com (which later became travisleewiggins.com). The package contained
five “thought pieces” :one stick of gum, three mini-posters and fifteen “Hamjams.” Hamjams are little phrases that mean something or don’t. blah blah.

In Travis Lee's Junior year in college he was awarded a Fellowship with a stipend from the Honors College at Ball State University. The project was to make collaborative paintings with his professor Marilynn Derwenskus. The show postcard said in the purple area "Marilynn Derwenskus' favorite color", and in the right area "A color Travis Lee uses." If you knew Marilynn, you would be aware of her obsession with purple. The front of the postcard was also to symbolize that Marilynn had herself established, while Travis was still in the early stages of learning how to be creative.

A school project in which a shoe company named Go’s was created. A group of logos rather than one was chosen. The packaging concept was an attempt to sell shoes with the box instead of just
the shoes. Extra shoelaces were included and part of the design.

“I thought that shoe boxes were very
important to the selling of the shoes. I thought instead of hiding them, why don’t people put the boxes on display too, like they do in perfume?
Let’s face it, people don’t buy shoes just for their feet, but because of style.” A solution of logos was applied rather than one. The concept was also concerned with staying black and white for cost and using the material as a color.

A school project in which an identity system was created for a company called basementshirts.com. The project was limited to the use of two colors.

This was a school project in which a First Alert Smoke Detector Manual was re designed. The project’s limitations were 1 color, it had to contain all the information and graphics, and it had to be smaller than nine inches.
