Cat With Fruits

Cat With Fruits is a series of illustrations created for the packaging of a dried fruit brand. Each illustration shows cats playing with different fruits. The colors were taken from photographs of nature captured with a mobile phone camera and then desaturated to create gentle tones. The drawings were completed in Photoshop CC 2020 at A4 size, 297 by 210 millimeters. The natural palette supports the pure and pollution free character of the product. The series follows the idea of naturalism and aims to give viewers a calm and comforting impression.

Cap Pac

Cap Pac is a promotional product designed for use at outdoor events. Cap Pac is made from a single sheet of card and combines several useful items. Two sun visors can be torn away and fastened around the head to shade the eyes. The remaining panel serves as a sign that can carry a message chosen for each event. The same panel also works as a carrier for two drinks. Recycled or certified card is used, together with waterless ink and low energy drying. The aim is to reduce the waste created by promotional material.

Target

Target is a cross-media advertising campaign created for Steitz Secura, a manufacturer of safety and work shoes. The campaign repositions the brand with a bold tone that is unusual for the sector. Targeted posters are placed close to the gates of potential customers. A mailing sends a single shoe from the current collection to each recipient. The matching counterpart is handed over when an appointment with the sales team is arranged. The campaign covers online, social media, business to business, trade fair and point of sale communication.

Don't Lose Your Bicultural is an integrated advertising campaign created for an ethnic television channel service. The campaign includes eight posters, and each title is written in a different language: Portuguese, Chinese, Arabic, Russian, Japanese, French, Italian and Hindi. The visuals use pixel art and are built around the television test pattern, which refers to the moment of loss. Symbols of the participating countries are joined to create a unified and diverse image. The aim is to encourage immigrant communities to keep their languages and their heritage.

BSTN Raffle

The task was to design and produce an action figure for a Nike shoe. Since this shoe combines a white snakeskin design with bright green elements, it was clear that the action figure would be a contortionist. Designers sketched and optimized the figure in a very short time as an action figure in the style of the well-known action heroes. Then they designed a small comic with a story and produced this figure in 3D printing with high-quality packaging.

Visual Signage System

Nanxiang Incity

Nanxiang Incity is a visual signage system created for a shopping mall in Shanghai. The design draws on the local culture of Nanxiang, an area known for cranes and temples, and turns the form of cranes flying in pairs into abstract signage images. Floor guides and merchant listings are placed at escalator entrances and exits and at points where visitor flows cross. White ink blocking printing is applied to the light sheets, so text and outlines stay clear. The hanging pieces use mirror pivot points that blend with the mall interior.
