This particular year, my sister and I decided to give everyone in our family giftcards for Christmas. Normally, each store provides their own branded packaging for gift card purchases, varying from bags and minature boxes, to plain folded cardstock holders. I decided I wanted everyone to have cards with identical (with the exception of a few personalized details) packaging, so they’d all remember the givers, and immediately be able to identify our special gift under each other’s trees. Who says you need a client to indulge in a fun packaging project?

This was my senior thesis project in art school. The goal was to create an awareness of and facilitate an interest in U.S. copyright law among designers and creative professionals. The set includes 13 individually-boxed volumes of the U.S. Code on copyright. Each volume contains a stack of cards with summaries and illustrations on one side, and the actual legalese on the reverse side. Also included, but not pictured here, a 24" x 24" infographic poster, designed to accompany the set. Download the poster, here.
