Monet & Friends Alive 
Immersive 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.

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.

Environmental Design

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.

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.

The Devil’s Draught

Brief by The Brief Club

Deep in the mountainous caves of Melbourne's ranges, something stirred. Local, organic fruit — orchard plums, blood oranges, wild lemons — was left to ferment in the dark, infusing with the spirit of the caves themselves. 

What emerged wasn't just beer. It was born, mischievous and half-formed, torn-paper devils with a single wandering eye and a taste for sin. Each one carries the flavour that made it: Sinful, Damned, Wicked. This is The Devil's Draught — craft beer with a creation myth.

Black embossed foil on the cans contrasts against the bold colour palette.
