Of course my experience has limitations and probably includes some over-generalizations that I would want to spend more time scrutinizing and improving on. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce46022d6311400019e39ec/1558471381014-YN4B4PWZOBU0R2K7XPMX/Campus+Digital+displays Personal Concepts - University of Michigan signage The strong and simple lines of the block "M" logo offer a bold silhouette and structure to reinforce the U-M brand in busy environments. The impact is effective from a distance and close up—in both digital and print signage. The logo area has ample room to hold primary content and information. It also creates negative space that can hold secondary visuals (or animation) that give context for the vicinity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce46022d6311400019e39ec/1566959144793-DE484DWIDWY8997BGNYG/Posters+-+Made+in+Michigan Personal Concepts - University of Michigan posters and campaign I imagined how the signature block "M" for U-M might serve as a "made by" signature. The result is an understated and elegant tab with the tagline "Made in Michigan", alluding to U-M as a place where the world's best gather to make themselves—and the world—better. The tagline also hails to the industrial heritage inherent to Michigan, the university's home state. *Note: Photographs are property of University of Michigan Photography. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce46022d6311400019e39ec/1558471380485-17NKY3RHJ3ANTL04UW58/Monumental+-+More+Michigan+-+Bangkok Personal Concepts - Concept for University of Michigan Key pillars of the University of Michigan brand could be described as: global reach, diversity, world-class prestige, undying heritage and spirit—spanning generations. It brings to mind the word "Monumental". I imagined the iconic block "M" logo, with its powerful and simple stance, being treated as a larger-than-life monument/shape in a variety of cities, hailing the global influences of U-M beyond its main campuses. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce46022d6311400019e39ec/1558471380951-4N80W8HEI6DHPUZZIC5I/Apple+iPad+C Personal Concepts - What if iPads were circular As a form factor, rectangles are time-tested over generations of interactive wisdom. Circular devices are often impractical and overly-symetric for intuitive usage (à la the 1998 puck-shaped iMac mouse). But I still couldn't resist this conceptual exercise; a bigger challenge would likely be conceiving an effective UI for a polar-coordinate based view. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce46022d6311400019e39ec/1558471377190-YUM9FHZL3FJ2FJ9LJWQO/Little+Angel+Class+Photo Personal Concepts - Your Next Art Director... Little Angel Day Care (1977): Class photo day. Smiling faces. Crisp brand new t-shirts. An otherwise happy occassion for kids in a Brooklyn community. But alas, there was no joy for me, knowing history would record this moment with that messy letter spacing on our letter board! https://carloblackmore.com/portfolio daily 1.0 2025-10-26 https://carloblackmore.com/portfolio/branding monthly 0.5 2026-01-13 https://carloblackmore.com/portfolio/art-direction-design-samples monthly 0.5 2025-11-21 https://carloblackmore.com/portfolio/motion-design-samples monthly 0.5 2026-01-13 https://carloblackmore.com/portfolio/web-design monthly 0.5 2026-01-13 https://carloblackmore.com/portfolio/event-design monthly 0.5 2026-01-13 https://carloblackmore.com/portfolio/favorite-conference-samples monthly 0.5 2025-11-21 https://carloblackmore.com/portfolio/unfcu-redesign-process monthly 0.5 2026-01-13 https://carloblackmore.com/portfolio/personal-projects monthly 0.5 2026-01-13 https://carloblackmore.com/my-work/art-direction daily 0.75 2026-02-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce46022d6311400019e39ec/1674602995090-P93A547PCA6NTY1LV3F5/UNFCU_ImpactReport_pages_pale.png Art Direction - UNFCU: CSR Report design & template Sustainability and thought leadership report on progress toward goals aligned with United Nations SDGs.
