As a graphic designer, different schools of thought continually inspire me. Not only do I look at other designs for ideas, I also like to explore different themes and concepts outside of the graphic design realm. Graphic design is neither science, math, psychology, literature, art nor solely design. It is a combination of all practices. Although the idea is to create graphics that clearly and visually communicate to the target audience, design cannot solely stand on its own. My work is just that - a diverse fusion of design and schools of thought.



Family Tree Infographic

This is a relational graph showing the journey between four generations of my family. The generations are clearly marked in the background and is read from left to right (older generation to newer generation). As for their journey, the bars are read from left to right (place of birth to ending destination). Moreover, some sections in the bars are larger than others and this determins the duration of their stay at specific destinations around the world.

Eggcells

Eggcells are conceptual sustainable batteries packed in eco-friendly packaging that are biodegradable and ‘green’. Most battery packaging is wrapped in plastic that is disposed of immediately, not to mention troublesome to open. I decided to create a conceptual series/brand of batteries that is long-lasting, rechargeable and recyclable. The user will be able to store large format D batteries in this egg-carton inspired container, and dispose of the batteries all together, responsibly, when it’s time to move on to new ones. The fun packaging includes ‘nutritional facts’ (chemicals in the batteries) and expiry dates ‘stamped’ on the side of the container.

Vespa Corporate Identity

New Vespa Logo

The new Vespa identity consists of elements of the classic logo, yet it is more legible and modern. The unifying component continues to be the V in Vespa. The new wordmark showcases the vehicle’s dynamism and voice through its custom italic sans-serif lettering. The new logo is not a dramatic transition from the old, yet it heads in a fresh new direction, therefore continually targeting and keeping Vespa’s established customers, while directing the new identity to new customers between the ages of late 20s – 40s.
