Monopoly, in spite being the classiest of all board games, unfortunately is packaged just as boringly and uncreatively as every other garbage board game on the shelves. So, I decided to repackage it... turning the class up to 11.
All of the boxes are made out of chocolate brown mat board and skinned in cream arches cover. The final package is just over 10" x 10" x 1.5" and includes smaller containers for all of the various pieces and cards and a laser-cut holder for all of the houses and hotels.
In order to show the "normal" sleeping portion of the population what it is like having Insomnia, I screen printed this typographic treatment onto pillowcases with glow-in-the-dark ink. The luminescent letter forms keep even the deepest of sleepers awake.

Looking back on my first year at MICA, I realized that I went through a lot of changes in my personal philosophy and how I look at design specifically. I decided to catalog my changing tastes in music as a parallel to these more significant changes. This coptic bound book has four signatures of kitchen-sink-made paper, each dedicated to an album that was at one point very important to me, in chronological order.
