Class Creates Branding

Soosan Joon Silanee's Design Production Team completely branded a store in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn - logo, flyer, business cards, signage, posters and more. The boutique, Papel, also is showcasing the work of the artist.

The store merited a mention in the NY Times:

"Papél New York (225 Court; 718-422-0255; papelnewyork.com) sells sleek paper goods, including sheets of wrapping paper ($2.50 to $3 a sheet) that will class up even the smallest of gifts."

This experience offered valuable real world experience for the students!
