FRESH PRESS JUICE BRANDING/ POSTER DESIGN
BRIEF:
Branding and marketing material design for
new product; guanabana cold fresh press juice ranges.
For this project the focus of the design was on
the organic and natural ingredients of the juice ranges.
So for this porpose I decided to photograph the product
itself and use this as central part of the promotion
in order to create more simple and minimal design.

EIGAUK WEBSITE DESIGN
BRIEF:
An open brief film news site design for Japanese
audience in UK. With this website I decided to keep the
icons and logo design fairly simple to emphasise
the film news itself rather than interfare this
with the overall design.

9. SELF INITIATED
SELF INITIATED LOGO AND BRANDING DESIGN WORK
BRIEF:
A self iniitated logo and branding experiment work for imaginary ink series.
The aim of this design was to see how black logo would sit on silver surface containers and
to create a product design mock up which I had not created very often previously.

10. ARKE
ARKE IPHONE CASE DESIGN
BRIEF:
Create a graphic to be printed on bamboo iPhone case.
For this project I have decided to create silhouette animal
characters to bring out the natural feel of the case itself.
I wanted to convey the idea of the case as being almost
like a playrgound for the characters.
