Carlos Hermosillo | Graphic Designer

nCircle

I spent two and a half years at nCircle and had the exciting opportunity to be a part of a fast growing powerhouse in the tech world—more specifically, in the IT and SaaS sector. As the lead designer and creative liaison between 4 corporate locations, I successfully navigated nCircle through a full rebrand in the USA, Canada, & UK. Beyond the rebrand, I designed for print, mobile applications and web with enterprise level and small to medium business clients positioned as our target audience.

ZAPOsalsa

Born from a generations-old family recipe and championing the New York Salsa Slam, ZAPOsalsa has become quite a delicious sensation. Currently available in Queens, New York, this homemade style tomatillo salsa boasts an all organic ingredient list with a little love mixed in.

Sooth Seeker

Sooth Seeker was inspired by a 1935 publication called "The Secret Museum." It has no author or credits, no copyright, no date, no page numbers, no index, but it does show the world as it was during that time. Utilizing images from this public-domain book along with my photography & illustration, an esoteric intro-sequence was created to illustrate the mysterious essence of this pilot television series. "Seek and ye shall find."

Aquarium of the Bay

Inspired by the cylindrical acrylic tunnels at The Aquarium of the Bay–San Francisco (and deviating from expected fish and wave iconography),  a fresh re-brand was created. As a popular tourist attraction in San Francisco, the aquarium's website, stationery & logo standards were systematically unified to simplify information consumption and encourage a more recognizable brand presence unique to its location.

American Heart Association

Combining information related to heart failure and prevention through an anatomical heart design and color palette, a cohesive awareness campaign was launched for the American Heart Association. Open layouts and negative space were employed to increase information consumption, while modern typography helps establish a hierarchy in the importance of facts and take home knowledge.
