Holiday Special

One of my first assignments at Cambodian Children's Fund - the Holiday Campaign. 

once i figured out how our happy holiday concepts would look, i created 4 different styles we'd use for our holiday cards. when you purchase a gift, you're forwarded a card that says thanks.

My first few weeks at the new job have been exciting. I shot Tony Hawk when he came to visit his sponsor child of 7 years. I designed a huge banner for a student party and set up a design request form for internal purposes. The holiday campaign came up quick and I suggested a face-lift.

I have nothing but positives to say about my new position and life. I get to produce designs, photos, videos; I have full creative freedom to come up with interesting ideas and campaign concepts; my boss is a designer himself and very laid back while still interested in exploring new creative caveats; but the best part is that I use my communication skills to help kids.

Below is my holiday campaign work. You can view it live for a month here: www.cambodianchildrensfund.org/gifts-that-matter

first, i drafted a few happy holiday concepts, playing with colors and shapes. we didn't want anything too Chirstmas-y, but we still wanted it to feel like a holiday card.

for the holiday cards, i used existing images in our database and gave them a new funky tone to go with the retro design. i also shot each product and added the shots to the design to create an realistic element to the gift campaign.

i also designed 11 FB covers for each day we wanted to showcase a new Gift That Matters.

here's how the homepage looks on our website (which we will be redesigning soon). i designed a button, a banner image and a few small elements that stick out of the homepage.

here's a detail of the inside page where you can purchase a gift. with images of the actual gift you're buying plus the pictures of the beneficiaries, you really get a good idea of what you're investing in.

monsoon collective

i did this for Sattya. we have a workshop coming up and the people and group we're collaborating with are called the "Monsoon Collective." so i made a monsoon out of the design.

i'm also really trying to move past my CLEAN design. Sattya really doesn't love the clean approach, so i'm learning to do it differently. merge and fold. merge and fold.
