Patriot Cigar Company represents my senior project as an undergraduate at Auburn University. Patriot is a fictitious cigar manufacturer based out of Miami, FL that markets itself as the free man’s choice of cigar as it aims to combat wrongfully aimed anti-tobacco legislation and taxation which lump cigars in with more harmful and predatory products such as cigarettes and smokeless tobacco.

This project is meant to demonstrate the whole of my design education as one cohesive, seamless presentation. The project consists of a logo and identity suite, package designs for cigar bands and boxes, website design, ad layouts for magazines, and other print-collateral marketing items.

As an avid cigar lover myself, this project gave me the opportunity to learn and apply my skills to something meaningful to me and really helped me stretch my creative capabilities farther than I had previously attempted. It was a thorough pleasure to bring this idea to life as my final project at Auburn.
