Project Scope: Static Sticker

BOCES Project
As part of a design competition organized through my BOCES graphic design program, I participated in a branding project for Bug Country, a regional radio station. Out of multiple student submissions, two of my sticker designs were selected as finalists, and one was chosen as the winning design.
This opportunity allowed me to apply my skills in real world brand engagement and gain early recognition for my work in a professional context.
This sticker I designed. shows friends around a lakeside campfire with a mountain the background, capturing the heart of country living. The slogan “Good Times and Country Music” ties the artwork to Bug Country’s brand and helped the piece win first place in the BOCES student contest.

This design was selected as a finalist in the Bug Country student sticker contest through the BOCES graphic design program. It features a background inspired by the American flag, layered with subtle music notes to create texture and movement. A collection of country instruments in the bottom right corner helps reinforce the music theme. I focused on creating a bold look that reflects the station’s style and audience.
