Not Always Fun

The ad campaign aims to raise awareness about Harlequin syndrome. This is a syndrome affecting the autonomic nervous system and is associated with absence of sweating and flushing of skin on one side of the face. The agency developed key visual illustrations which are based on the juxtaposition of the different representations of harlequin aiming to shed light on the disparity between the comical representation of the character and the reality of living with Harlequin syndrome, emphasizing the need for greater understanding and awareness of the condition.

Six Great God Beast

Inspired by the Stone Elephant Road of Purple Mountain in Nanjing, we designed a set of cute hand-made toys with the image of god and beast. Among them are an elephant, a horse, a lion, an imaginary animal, a unicorn and a camel. On the basis of retaining the original image, the different features and personified expressions of the vivid image of each god and beast are endowed, and the elements such as Yunjin of Nanjing traditional culture are integrated as decorative graphics, so that the traditional elements are integrated with the trend of grotesque.

The design of Gaenyeomsuda is a combination of the brand name Ggaedok which is an acronym of the Korean phrase Ggaewooja Dokhaeryuk, and quotation marks. The name is intended to boost Korean learners' confidence and reading comprehension ability. The quotation marks add a visual element of wit and intuitiveness that reflects the brand's nature as a study supplement for Korean. To make the learning experience more engaging, Ggaedok features characters that appear in both the vocabulary and reading comprehension books, providing students with an enjoyable factor to help them learn.

Bioremediating Floating Raft Gardens

Wednesday, 1 May 2024

Boat Biologs

Collaborating with the London boat community, these bioremediating floating gardens were designed to be built and installed by boat residents using accessible and locally sourced materials to fight canal water pollution. By incentivizing boaters with the promise of a private floating garden, this community-based call to action automatically strategizes and targets the source of water pollution and converts it into the solution. This collectively improves the quality of this shared water ecosystem whilst promoting the growth of native plants, insects and birds.
