The portfolio

Stella Kirby’s Joan Baez design brings historical research into a visual system: a stylized character, the Voices of Change series, a collectible package, and a concert-stage insert. The work moves from the flat surface of a package to a digital scene that an audience can explore through touch.

01 / The collectible system

More than a likeness.

The series name, character, number, and surrounding artwork turn the package into a compact introduction to its subject. A concert-stage insert gives Joan Baez a setting, connecting the figure to the space of performance.

02 / From concept to construction

Build the argument. Then build the package.

The archived sequence preserves different kinds of decisions: an AI-assisted concept board, a layout study, and a production dieline. Shown alongside the final artwork, these development artifacts make the design process visible.

The digital artifact

From printed panels to a touch-driven scene.

The later Adobe Aero extension used the figure and its accessories as an interactive composition. The model viewer below lets you inspect the archived objects; it is not a recreation of the original Aero experience.
