I'd like to introduce to you, the things that inspire me.
“Write more, help others more, be confident that you know more than you think because I guarantee there will be people who can learn from your experiences and knowledge. I bet you know more than you think.”

Check out our follower Doc Italy LTD!
“DOC ITALY LTD is the brainchild of my love for graphic design, music, fashion and Detroit culture. It is also a brand that expresses hard work, dedication, and style with quality similar to Cadillac’s ‘Art and Science’ design philosophy.
Every person is unique in their own way, especially coming from the city of Detroit, where there are two sides to one’s vision: the dark, gritty side that everyone knows and hears about in the media and the ever growing creative and hardworking community.
DOC ITALY LTD represents to bridge that gap between those sides to create something that represents the Motor City as well as people living in it.”

It was a confusing journey, especially for myself being just 15 with no knowledge of how this crazy business works. In fact I was just 14 when I started working on this brand, my parents are very supportive and tried to help, but I wanted to do as much on my own as possible. Yes, that does mean saving and spending just over a thousand dollars in that year. For anyone that amount of money is a lot, but especially for a 15 year old that 1K was a huge figure. I felt great pride that I can save all that on my own, and making $200.00 mistakes didn’t hurt me nearly as much as it would have if it was my Dad’s hard earned cash.

Even if you’re already a skilled production artist, you will have a fresh understanding of what it takes to prepare and execute one of the most important elements in the world of design and advertising.
In this class we will go through the process of creating a label, which includes:
- researching and selecting the product for which you want to design a label
- sketching the label layout by hand using simple guidelines
- finalizing the design and preparing it for production
As a final project, students will submit a design for a label type of your choosing. This could be anything from a screen printed wine bottle to a leather patch on the back of a pair of jeans. Any kind of label will be acceptable, as long as you integrate branding, product information, and plan accordingly to the production process necessary to get it out in the real world.
