Missouri Western State University student Jeremy Todd, senior graphic design major from Liberty, Mo., was recently awarded a Student Silver Addy at the 2013 Kansas City American Advertising Federation\u2019s Addy Awards Ceremony.\u00a0 The Addys are recognized as the highest honors in advertising and the Kansas City regional area is one of the largest regional Addy competitions in the country.<\/p>\n
Todd\u2019s award winning design was a multi-piece branding and packaging project titled \u201cDuffle Tea.\u201d The project included logo creation, business and identity system, packaging items and printed collateral.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe packaging for this brand takes on the idea of travel by packing all of the necessities inside of a compact duffle bag,\u201d Todd said. \u201cAlong with the tins of loose-leaf tea, the duffle bag also comes packed with a uniquely designed tea bag and packing instructions. In just a few short steps you are able to pick your destination, pack your bags, and escape with the tastes of Duffle Tea.\u201d<\/p>\n
Teresa Harris, professor of art, said Todd\u2019s tea branding had all the elements of an award-winning project \u2013 unique concept, impeccable craftsmanship and design cohesion. \u201cIt was an exceptional piece, from concept to completion,\u201d Harris said.<\/p>\n
