Emi Matsumoto - Graphic Designer

HELLO!

I’m a designer living in Seattle. I currently work for a great company called PopCap Games, which might explain the large amount of unicorns, rainbows and zombies you see in my portfolio. I look forward to hearing from you!

OTHER ENDEAVORS

I also love cooking. I've been dabbling in taking pictures of the food I make and archiving recipes. Check it out on my ever-expanding tumblr page.

Complete Pack

PROJECT

PopCap Complete Pack

DESCRIPTION

PopCap decided to sell all of their games in a bundle. I had free reign to do whatever I wanted for the landing page. Fortunately I work for a company where the weirder the idea, the better and this ended up being a really fun project to work on.

PopCap.com

PROJECT

PopCap Website Redesign

DESCRIPTION

I worked on a team with 3 other designers to do a complete overhaul of the PopCap website. We made some big improvements both aesthetically and functionally. We added the ability to easily sort and search for games and migrated the site to Drupal for easy updating.

4th & Battery

PROJECT

4th and Battery Site Design

DESCRIPTION

PopCap created 4th and Battery as a place to house their less polished, less family-friendly games. They wanted a look that was a little grungy and rough around the edges. I had 1 day to design this and I spent most of it painting with sumi ink. It was a fun break from the computer!

Game Wrapper

PROJECT

Wrapper Redesign

DESCRIPTION

When you download a PopCap game it is wrapped in what we appropriately refer to as a "wrapper". This informs players of how much time they have left of the free trial version, it houses cross-promotions and allows in-game purchase and registration. I started with wireframes then redesigned an entire wrapper experience from start to finish.

Android Phone

PROJECT

Free Android Phone with PopCap Games

DESCRIPTION

PopCap teamed up with Android to sell a free phone with Bejeweled installed on it as well as 5 free download games. I created three pieces that were needed for this promotion: a landing page to sell the concept, a printed coupon with a code for 5 free games, and a second landing page where customers could redeem their coupon.

Piscología

PROJECT

Rebrand + Bottle Redesign

DESCRIPTION

Meg, co-founder of Piscología, wanted a rebrand that reflected her high quality product yet wasn't a complete departure from the old look. I updated the flourish surrounding the logo with something more refined and toned down the bright green hue to match the vintage feel. The new label is currently in production and I can't wait to see how it looks on the bottle. Thanks to Meg, Krystle and Fernando of Piscología!

Saltbox

PROJECT

Logo

DESCRIPTION

Berg is an amazingly talented carpenter and super cool guy. His business, Saltbox Designs, needed a logo that was very flexible. He envisioned it living on his website, business cards, and signs as well as screenprinted on t-shirts, cast on metal plates that he could nail onto his structures, and printed on decals on the side of his truck. I came up with a full logo design that would look pretty awesome on a t-shirt, as well as an alternate, smaller version and a wordmark. Thanks to Berg for letting me work with him on this project, it was a fun one!

Groundswell DJs

PROJECT

Website

DESCRIPTION

Bennett + Ryan are two hilarious guys who also make any party a million times better with their awesome DJ skills. I can personally attest to this – they once inspired me to lead a group of people in a jazz hands dance at 2 in the morning. Anyway, they needed a website and let me go wild. It was a fun one!
