Final Major Project

The Brief: Theme - Wellbeing

A local Chinese tea company wishes to rebrand as 'The China Tea Company' and launch a new product range (loose tea) to target an international­ audience with some emphasis on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) but in a fresh, new and contemporary way.   Chinese tea is renowned for its healing properties and is a huge part of local culture.  I hope you enjoying viewing the final outcomes.

Self Promotion Part 3

Project Brief:  'The Art of Saying Hello' - self promotional 3D items to post to prospective employers.

Direction:  Design memorable and practical 3D handcrafted items to effectively self-promote. The Origami game (decision maker) is not complete without a complimentary custom-made box which mimics the angles and lines of the folded game.  The outside statement 'Hello' leads to an introduction and rhyming instructions within, which makes the item more personal and welcoming.   It is bold, memorable, and is an original design which supports the brand created.

Skills:  Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign.
