Claire Merkler
I'm Claire Merkler and I'm a graphic designer, creator, and visual artist, living in Northern Jersey. My day-to-day is spent either creating designs or growing upon my Adobe Software knowledge. Recently, I have been wanting to develop and apply my graphic design and marketing skills within new roles. In my free time, when I am not designing anything, I enjoy hiking and spending time away from my laptop.

Lego Race
The board game Lego Race reinforces the learning skills of reading and comprehension by requiring the target audience of children between the ages of 2nd to 4th graders to roll the dice, read the card and then follow the card instructions. The children need to distinguish between the dice of shapes and the dice of colors which correspond to the shapes or colors on the board path. I wanted to incorporate the fun of Legos along with the strategic thinking skills required to play the game.

Take A Hike
In the process of designing this magazine, I learned how to create and use a consistent typographic system across spreads that also shows variety. Ensuring there is a clear level of hierarchy and communicating effective information is an important skill I utilized within my design. Incorporating my photography skills allowed me to show my passion for hiking within the magazine. This project required learning how to create a thematic approach to design and explore concepts through the use of typography.

Trader Joes Packaging
This packaging is focused on using the Trader Joe’s brand and creating a design that draws shoppers’ attention to the product on the grocery store shelf. In my design, I used an illustration approach to use iconography to capture the consumer’s eyes when scanning the shelf. The color palette for each set of nuts displayed on the packaging is based on the color of the nuts. Cashews, peanuts, and almonds each have a distinct color that defines them, and, in my design, I highlight the color asset of each of the nut’s color.
