COLLINGWOOD QUARTER

Metropolis

Working with Colliers and developer, UEM Sunrise, Collingwood Quarter is the gateway into Collingwood and Fitzroy which has a rich cultural history and diverse community. 

The brand identity is a reflection of a greener, modern, creative and eclectic community, shown through a modern wordmark and illustrated curvatures of the architectural development as it nestles into its surroundings of parks, restaurants, bars, boutique stores, galleries, studios and music venues.

VORIGINALS CHOC FUDGE
CHOC TOP

Hive

The creative campaign for the VOriginals new Choc Top, Choc Fudge flavour and packaging has a subtle nod to the upcoming Wonka film, creating a sense of wonder and excitement about the new flavour.

The hero photography, illustration and colour palette, showcases two campaign tier's, promoting both the launch of the new fudgy flavour, as well as a ‘candy land’ world where this fudgy flavour lives.

The campaign explores the 'candy land' world 
and plays on ‘Wonka’s’ world of whimsy, wonder and wildness that describes the qualities of the fudge and flavour in the Choc Top range.

GONE – (Once were here now are...GONE)

Brief by Design Business Council

The design creative plays on the ‘join the dots’ idea we knew as children, that made connections to a bigger picture.

The creation of dot illustrations of the flora 
and fauna, using circular shapes and the unnerving 
reminder of the colouration of fire, revealed the fragments and remains of the loss. 

GONE, painted a 
picture, barely visible, by showing the disintegration of our beautiful forest and bushland habitats,
 bringing some animals to the brink of extinction.

MONET & FRIENDS ALIVE
MULTI-SENSORY EXHIBITION
AT THE LUME – MELBOURNE

Grande Experiences

Designing a coffee table book that has weight, sophistication and is timeless in its design. Playing on the vast styles of the artist's works and holigraphic nature of the Impressionist style, textures, colour and type would be the hero of the design.

Exploring hard cover treatment with foils, debossing and linen / canvas, along with Swiss Design aesthetics (type being the hero and artwork either balancing along side or scaled-up) created a contemporary look and feel.

DALÍ ALIVE –
IMMERSIVE MULTI-SENSORY EXHIBITION
AT THE LUME – COLORADO

Grande Experiences

Designing the Dalí Alive exhibition / environmental / publication creative with a contemporary approach 
in mind. 

He was a trickster, a showman on a grand scale. 
The sense of play and wonder for the exhibiton was developed through optical illusions (tricks to the eye). These elements tell the story of the artist and is the key part of the visual language.

THE GREEN DOT

Brief by Two°Creative x The Brand Identity

The redesign of the The Green Dot symbol explores the Mid-century aesthetic through a minimalistic approach of circles, movement, motion and regeneration, represented by human’s footprints / companies impact on the planet.

In its most basic forms, through shapes and colour, the neon green symbol (nature inspired), explores symbols for our planet (the dot, the eye, circular), which represents the planet’s core, its health and the care 
that we must instill now and into the future.

WODENGREEN

Hoyne

A welcomed change from its competitors, WodenGreen has a playful language and design (illustrations by Vanessa Wright) capturing the communities warmth and energy in the heart of the valley.

Having designed the creative across all print, digital, map illustration and display signage, I worked closely with the broader team to capture the key selling points of the development. 

The design presents the illustrations into 
the WodenGreen natural world, focusing on amenity. They're made up of ‘mini scenarios’ – 
to use individually and to use elements separately in amongst photographic scenes (ie. people, trees).
