Bryana Reardon

My name is Bryana Reardon. I am from Uxbridge, Massachusetts where I have lived and grown up all my life. Coming to PSU was a great change in scenery with all the mountains since I live mostly on farm land. I really enjoyed my time here at PSU as a Graphic Design major because I met so many amazing and talented friends along my way as well as professors who helped me improve my work. My work is simply with pops of color here and there. I also have a very geometric style to my work that includes a lot of line work. One thing I want to tell younger artists that I have learned from my time as an artist is always be open to critiques, sometimes it may sound harsh but it really is eye opening and helps open up your eyes to new ideas.My goal is to one day become a graphic designer advertiser for all sorts of companies, hopefully I can showcase a baking company in my future. I hope you enjoy my bakery company and opens you up to love for baking as well as make you hungry!

Artist Statement - For my thesis, I decided to create a bakery called Just a Sprinkle located in Boston Massachusetts. The idea that came to be of Just a Sprinkle originated from my mother who is a baker and loves to bake all sorts of desserts. She doesn’t have a bakery, but I decided to create this, in relating to her hobbies and what her and I love to do when we are together. My plan is to create a bakery that sells cake, cupcakes and cookies. There will be an adult side bakery that has more sophisticated flavors, and there is a fun kid side of the bakery that has flavors that kids enjoy. Besides desserts, there will also be birthday parties, baking classes, bake sales, t-shirts, baking utensils and other fun stuff for purchase and availability.

Our prices are just like your average bakery based on sheet cakes, round cakes, single cookies and cupcakes, boxed goodies. Single desserts are priced at $2.00-2.50, boxes are from $10.00-25.00, sheet cakes are from $25.00-65.00 and rounds are from $20.00-35.00. Creating a bakery creates lots of opportunities for branding applications which includes a website, advertisements/posters, business cards, letterheads, envelopes, loyalty cards, birthday invitations, packaging for the desserts, etc. Throughout each of these I plan on using photos, some found online and some taken by myself that my mom bakes, illustrations for the children side of the bakery as well as patterns.

The color palette for my adult side of the bakery includes a red velvety color with a vanilla cake batter color combined together. Through that there is also sprinkles that are shades of red and yellow to compliment the red velvet and vanilla batter. As for the children side I wanted to incorporate bright and fun colors using blue, pink, yellow/green, orange, red and shades of purple. As for type, the adult side is a more sophisticated, script font that created a classy look for my logo called Margaritha Tropicana. For the children side I used a hand-written font called Please Write Me a Song with crayon like strokes around the lettering. As for subtext fonts, I am using Avenir Next using the different styles, as well as Palatino for the adult side and Paper Flowers in the children side. Come on over and enjoy Just a Sprinkle desserts, “baked with love & sprinkles, just for you!”

Mission Statement - Just a Sprinkle is a family focused bakery that provides desserts and fun activities for everyone! We want to give families that comfort of home in every bite as well as adding a pizzazz of sprinkles.
