EyeCare is expanding and they wanted to rebrand their business completely. Their business has grown and new products and services have been added. I am creating branding and new identity elements that reflect the diversity of their business.

Spacebar is a place very popular amongst Artists and Musicians. I wanted to explore the idea of “space” in its literal sense; out of this world. I also wanted to play on the ideas of spaces between written words; a space of possibilities. Spaces are places that create new opportunities for interaction, innovation, and growth. I wanted the visuals to reflect this in-between place. A place that is real but fantastical at the same time.

Social Media imagery and captions will be AI generated to align and reinforce the idea of technology and science of the brand. The imagery was generated through Midjourney with the illustrations fed as reference. The captions were generated with ChatGPT

I am currently working on a new visual direction. The client wanted to release the assets as we developed the materials.

AI-generated imagery of social media posts
All the posts are AI-generated which conceptually aligns with the brand very much. The generated images are prompted to use the illustration to match the colour and feel. The captions are generated through ChatGPT.
“SmartCom is an easily accessible, high-speed connected network that forms a city-wide community where youth, adults, and corporations can find sustainable solutions while also having the ability to develop and pursue innovative, scalable, and limitless solutions to challenges.”
I was tasked with creating the brand development for a smart city network service provider based in the Maldives. My responsibilities included conducting research, segmenting the audience, and leading a remote team to develop the final artwork.

LOGO DERIVATION
I wanted to highlight the connections; between the inhabitants of a place and their larger communities. I derived the logo by converting the name “SmartCom” to binary format and using the resulting 1’s and 0’s as a starting point. These 1’s and 0’s are represented by dots and pathways. Materials viewed from a distance are intended to give a sense of a city.

Color pallet for the campaign
The aim of this campaign was to introduce two new machines by creating a product launch strategy that was divided into three phases: pre-launch, launch, and post-launch. The strategy involved developing relevant materials for each phase with the objective of prompting user curiosity and hinting about the upcoming features of the new machines.

For the final phase, we developed small projects or tutorials that users can create using the new machines.
I am currently working on developing posters for the inaugural Marine festival, scheduled to take place in December 2023. As part of my role, I am responsible for determining the visual direction of the project, and I have decided to adopt a retro theme. Given that the festival's primary sponsors come from the tourism sector, who appear to have a fondness for the past, I aim to appeal to their nostalgia in the hopes of securing their partnership with the client.

Solution
I wanted the brand and visual direction to portray ideas of technology and disruption which are key concepts celebrated within the fintech sector. As visual elements, I have used “Pixels” like graphical elements floating over the visuals. In addition, icons and symbols used in computer programming are used alongside the copy and on other visuals.

This is a product launching campaign that was created to promote two new machines. The strategy was to divide the campaign into three parts; Pre-launch, launch and post-launch and develop materials for these phases. My goal was to tease the users to anticipate new features. These same visuals are then used in the post-launch phase detailing the features.

Teaser Motiongraphics assets
Right after the launch we created a very dynamic color palette to reflect on the diverse range of projects the consumer can work on with these machines. The colors were chosen from the most used treads that quilters and embroidery artists use. This pallet also became a visual identity element for these two machines.

Post Launch assets
Specific information was revealed after the launch. These were also extensions of the selected teaser elements.
For the final phase, we developed small projects that users can create using the new machines.
Rather than use the website we opted to use Facebook and Instagram carousel posts to show the projects.
Motiongraphic elements for the We have been Busy campaign. We wanted to represent complex features in the most simplistic form. These posts were released before the launch of the new product and these visuals acted as teasers for what will be revealed later.
