Concept I Superheroes of Tustin
Front (facing the street) RSide Back L Side
This concept spotlights "Superheroes of Tustin" where its design is inspired by comic -book layouts. Instances of
community aiding each other is shown for example the front panel shows community members linking arms in
untiy. Butterflies and flowers represents growth and friendship. Community members wear the iconic red capes
to further connect to Superheroes of Tustin. I've included narrative captions to push the comic book design
further.

Concept I Sip and Stroll
Front (facing the street) R Side Back L Side
This concept features the "Sip and Stroll" event. I created this design with a lively palette in pinks, blues,
yellows, and greens in this Old Town scene. Community members here enjoy drink and foods and is rendered in
splashes of color. Abstract lines at the bottom suggest movement, referencing moving between food stops. The
musician here reference lively activities during the event.

Concept I Historical
Front (facing the street) R Side Back
L Side (small attached box)
Here we have an illustrative design in monotones of blues and
yellows to give the illustration an old "vintage" photo feel. The
design features the history of banking in Tustin. I've
incorporated the two versions of the First National Bank of
Tustin in the original Richardson Romanesque style of 1888
and the changes to the building made in the 1950s. The right
side of the box depicts historical buildings we still enjoy
seeing today such as the Steven's House and the old Dr.
Sheldon's office. I've also included the statue bust of founder
Columbus Tustin that is seen in Old Town. The back of the
box features the grand Tustin Hotel as well as the horse car
that was utilized on Main Street. For the small attached box,
I've depicted agricultural roots through the Sunkist California
.fruit growers exchange building, hills of crops, apricots, and
oranges.
