Timothy Daniel Flynn

With a BFA in Illustration with an emphasis on Animation from Laguna College of Art and Design, I have cultivated a diverse career in graphic design and animation. Currently, I serve as a Graphic Artist/Manager at Jetro Restaurant Depot, where I lead the creation of marketing materials and coordinate product placements. My expertise spans digital animation, graphic design, and visual marketing, with a strong focus on innovation and efficiency.

Projects

Made Pizza Social Assets

This project was created to learn how I could use Figma to create a social media package. To start, I created a fictitious brand and created their logo in Adobe Illustrator. Then, using public domain assets, I created the layouts for the social media campaign in Figma. In learning new software there is potential to enhance my existing workflows and provide better work more quickly.See More

"Black-Hole-in-A-Can" Unboxing Promo

At Moonman Studio, we make an effort to create unique gifts for our clients each year. Previously, we had created branded chocolate bars with custom labelling and printed sweatshirts. But this last year I challenged my self to create a product from start-to-finish and developed a branded unboxing experience with this "Black Hole-in-a- Can" promotion. At the outset, I knew that having this product go through the mail was going to be a unique challenge as postage is determined by weight and having an optimal amount of material in relation to the container and package needed a lot of forethought. Once that was resolved, I was then able to create a fun branded design for both the label of the container and interior of the package to reveal when opened. This project really pushed me to understand how a design should support a product in the real world.See More

Sabor Nuestro Packaging

For this assignment, I was tasked with refreshing and updating the packaging for a private label line of frozen avocado products that retained elements from the previous iteration of the design. In addition to bringing the layout up to spec by placing the required product information, but I enhanced it by including a vibrant color palette and hand drawn illustrations as a subtle background to provide a bold yet artisanal theme.See More
