Need Supply Co.

The day I graduated I saw a well dressed man who I thought carried himself confidently, stroll through my senior show for Graphic Design. Of the hundreds of people that strolled through that night, he stuck out to me for some reason and thought "he knows what's up".  I later saw him at the restraunt next door and thanked him for stopping by. I gave him my business card and that was that. Two weeks later, I recieved a call from him and he was one of the owners of Need Supply Co. and hired me as a designer.

I was beyond thrilled.
 My first project while at Need Supply Co. was to work on the summer lookbook zine with the one other designer at Need. I think my mouth was open, and smiling the entire week. "Holy crap. I can't believe I'm getting paid to do this." above and below are the result at 8.5" x 5.5"







 We had hundreds and hundreds of photos to work with. The simplicity of the zine reflects the simplicity and effectiveness of the brand. I think in the end I had around a hundred pages laid out. The zine was only 16pages. It was a blast and more difficult than I had imagined. Below are some of my favorites that didn't make the cut.


                                       








hope you enjoy!
