MixSafe

MixSafe — selected work

The best of
the record.

108 pieces from the full MixSafe design record: the web layouts that shipped, every sticker that scored seven or better, and the finished print, social and logo work.

01 / The checker page

Designing the answer, not the form

Three full visual directions for mixsafe.org, pitched on the same four-substance query so the comparison is design, not content. Then the layouts that survived in-person testing: one field that takes a whole mix in a single line, and two result-card layouts that went live.

02 / Stickers

The ones that earned a print run

Every sticker round was rated one to ten before anything went to a printer. These 37 are the pieces that scored seven or better — strips, die-cuts, a pharmacy vial, a receipt, and a census where every dot is a real rated pair.

03 / Campus flyers

One claim per sheet

The full flyer series. Each poster makes exactly one argument and backs it with a figure from the tool's own data, with its own QR code so every sheet can be measured on its own.
