Through the Rabbit Hole Event

Digital illustration, graphic design

The client, Carlton Club Melbourne, needed a design to help promote one of their biggest events of the year - a degustation presented by White Rabbit Beer that would be an all encompassing experience for the customer. They wanted something that would be reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland and tie in the design style of White Rabbit’s packaging. I came up with three different colour schemes, but using this illustration of drunken bunnies falling effortlessly down.

I started with hand drawing the rabbit, then digitized the illustration and added text and other elements to the poster. I also created social media assets, some animated, as well as wall art for the night and menus.

Bowies Days Vintage

Logo Design

Logo for Melbourne based vintage women’s fashion label.

The client asked for something to represent the feel of her style and clothing range. We found amazing inspiration from 60′s television and even New York signage and created many mockups to finally arrive at something I can say communicates a feminine, retro feel.

Mubanga Culture

Logo Design

Alexx Mubanga is a Zambian born, Australian dancer who works with communities across continents to create unity and power through his own afro-style dance practice. Featured on ‘The Project’ and Seven news, this logo was created for use on video, photography and merchandise for his upcoming tour. 

I drew upon the strong sense of community that Alexx focuses on in all of his videos, particularly wanting to communicate that all dancers are different, but the medium brings them together. There was also a very deliberate use of different tones to represent skin and clothing, while still wanting unity through the monotone nature of the logo.

Rosehaven

Set Dressing - Graphic design

This sign was created as part of a series of Tasmanian inspired home-town style signage to be used to dress a town for the ABC Comedy series, ‘Rosehaven’. Because of time and location restrictions, I created a variety of signage digitally that could be printed and aged back to look as authentic as possible.

30.10

Graphic Art and Design

Illustration and design work for short documentary film ‘30.10′, an open call for women of all backgrounds in Australia to document their day on the 30 November, 2017.

The brief called for a logo that felt inviting and modern, coupled with colour choices that would entice people on social media platforms to submit their own videos. I created small illustration of diverse looking women to further push for submissions from all walks of life, and to celebrate what I believe is a beautiful feature of my home country.

Solana Psychology Clinic,

Logo Design, Stationary & Interior design consultant

Melbourne based psychology practice, Solana Psychology needed a logo design that included their business motif and inspiration - the gingko leaf, while still communicating a professional and inviting brand. 

Using illustration and watercolor techniques, I aimed to design a balanced and earthy logo matched with a light and simple typography. 

The logo was then used for website, large vinyl signage and branding materials.

Just Like You

Marketing Strategy and design

The graduate design brief competition called for a marketing strategy that would increase awareness of the symptoms of Tourette Syndrome for primary and secondary level students in Australia. 

The most important element of understanding amongst those with diverse backgrounds is to realize that we are all the same, and for those diagnosed with Tourette syndrome, this is the same philosophy. Often the media and film wrongly depict the symptoms of what it’s like to have Tourette’s, so creating an education pack that is backed by a national promotional competition and promoted by participating artists will encourage students to learn and adapt the information in a creative and novel way.

Student and complementary teacher’s education packs, as well as an outline of the marketing channels and integrated marketing communications plan, was provided. Logo, branding and pattern design helped establish brand awareness to increase the popularity and engagement of the plan.

Cucina Cuisine

Packaging Design (mockup)

This graduate work brief was for a series of Italian cuisine packaging design that would appeal to young to middle age, working professionals in Australia. 

I wanted to use traditional Italian colors, especially of the foods we associate with the cuisine, but mix it up with hand drawn and geometric designs.
