NIDA

Branding | Illustration | Print

The objective

Design a new dynamic logo for both the school and theatre of the National Institute of Dramatic Arts. For NIDA's upcoming Season 2020, a set of theatre play posters and a booklet will be produced with the new NIDA branding.

The solution

To encapsulate NIDA's identity as a well-respected and cutting-edge Institute, the identity was refreshed into a modern and bold dynamic design that works across all collateral. For their upcoming theatre season, a set of posters were produced for the plays Baby Teeth, The Sugar House and Toy Symphony. The imagery and titles were illustrated using a mix of watercolour and acrylic paint then later composed digitally. These graphic elements were taken across throughout the theatre booklet which gives more insight about each play and the theatre venue.

The objective

Produce a new branding and collateral for the electro-punk band, Chicks On Speed and the re-release of their 2003 LP called 99 Cents. This will coincide with their concert launch held at the Enmore Theatre in Sydney.

The solution

To match the band's explosive DIY aesthetic, the album artwork has been produced with handmade graphics, from the pen marker typography to the sewn in zig zag yarn. Inside the gatefold LP includes song lyrics and a neon pink vinyl record. For promotion of the concert launch and the limited edition LP, an A3 poster and a half page horizontal advert has also been produced.

Abracadabra Tarot Cards

Typography | Print

The objective

To explore the different meanings of the word 'abracadabra' through an expressive and clever typographic piece.

The solution

When we think of the word 'abracadabra', we instantly picture a magician exclaiming the word before performing a magic trick. However, through history of time there have been numerous theories and meanings behind this magical word. To express these meanings, a set of tarot cards have been designed with a title name, definition and a typographic motif. On the back of each card displays the 'abracadabra' pyramid which was once believed to be a symbol of protection and healing. Included in the set is a special box for the tarot cards to be stored in.
