The Vapeless Future Communication Design Studio 5Semester 2 2024

The Vapeless Future is an anti-vaping campaign designed to initiate a conversation between young adults about their vaping habits. The design was carried out following a strong research phase utilising a design research kit (DRK) to gain key statistics about how the target demographic perceives vaping and if they vape themselves. From this research, a contrasting design language was created. 

The brochure booklet gives the audience a glimpse into the implications of vaping. It examines different aspects of the negatives, coupled with a healthier alternative — an activity, emotion, feeling, or choice that would be better than having a vape. The final pages give the reader direct contact with the various media of the campaign for those seeking to help themselves or a person they know. 

The style choice of the healthier alternatives is to create impact. Outlining vaping as monochromatic and alternatives as colourful and bold. This visual design language was used throughout the project, it intertwines with the language choices that are bold and sometimes colloquial.

Melbourne CinémathèqueCommunication Design Studio 4Semester 1 2024
This Melbourne Cinémathèque 2025 project creates an identity that is influenced by the projection of light in Cinema. The identity captures moments of movement created through shadow and light, creating a 3rd dimension on a flat application. The identity relies heavily on the core image of a motorcycle, a running person, a horse galloping and a little girl on a chase. All moving forward and along a plane (the ground) that follows through the applications of this identity. These planes of colour and folds hold a hierarchy for text to sit on.

Utilising interchangeable colours from images of the films being shown. The identity can be shifted and changed accordingly. The core identity utilises a range of oranges, spanning from light to dark and many tones of flat greys. Overall, creating a cohesive identity.
 
Linda Jackson ExhibitionCommunication Design Studio 4Semester 1 2024
Linda Jackson’s career spans over four decades and is marked by her unique contribution to Australian fashion design. Born in Beaumaris, Melbourne, in 1950, she studied dressmaking at Emily McPherson College (now RMIT) but left to work in a bridal salon before studying photography. Her extensive travels through Asia and Europe deeply influenced her work, and she became renowned for her distinct approach that combined various international influences with a strong connection to Australian flora and Indigenous cultures. Jackson’s designs often featured innovative fabric treatments such as appliqué, patchwork, and hand painting, reflecting her fascination with tropical climates and non-Western textile traditions.

This identity takes part of a quote from a news article written about Jackson: ‘I wanted to be everything.’ Further taking inspiration from the concept of ‘everything’, the exhibition explores Linda’s achievements and her pursuit of goals. It visually displays ‘everything’ through bright colours and a mix of typefaces. The core of this exhibition outlines the present and past, both colliding, showcasing the achievements of ‘everything’ Linda Jackson wanted to tackle creatively.

Longreach Sticker ProjectClient WorkApril 2025





This project was completed for a client in Longreach, Queensland, who sought a simple yet impactful design for bumper stickers. The typeface was inspired by the iconic “Welcome to Longreach” town entrance sign, grounding the design in local identity. Colour choices reflect the striking sunsets across the outback horizon, a defining feature of the region.

Two distinct versions were created in line with the client’s brief: one styled for cowgirls and one for cowboys. This approach ensured the designs resonated with both audiences while retaining a cohesive visual identity. The final stickers have since gained strong visibility, now appearing on vehicles across Outback Queensland.




TIGRRCommunication Design Studio 2Semester 1 2023
The Tigrr design was developed to capture the feeling of energy and momentum while maintaining a clean, health-focused aesthetic. I designed it with a balance between vibrancy and simplicity, using bold typography and a striking colour palette inspired by natural energy sources such as bright oranges, deep greens, and rich purples that evoke movement and vitality. 

The composition draws from the physicality and confidence of a tiger, with angular forms and dynamic lines that suggest power and motion. I focused on creating a design that feels modern, youthful, and premium, ensuring it appeals to health-conscious consumers aged 18 to 30. 

Every element, from the compact layout to the fluid shape language, was considered to express both strength and purity, reflecting Tigrr’s promise of providing a natural, fast-acting energy boost. The end result is a design that not only stands out on shelves but also captures the mindset of its audience, who are bold, ambitious, and ready to thrive.

 
Bushfire Foundation Communication Design Studio 5Semester 2 2024
The redesigned Bushfire Foundation logo unites three key symbols: a flame, a heart, and a house, reflecting the organisation’s mission to prepare, regrow and rebuild. The flame represents both the immediate threat of bushfires and the strength and readiness needed to face them, symbolising the foundation’s commitment to preparation and resilience. The heart embodies compassion, care, and community, aligning with the regrowth of hope and unity after hardship. The house signifies safety, shelter, and recovery, representing the foundation’s dedication to rebuilding homes and communities affected by fire. 

This modern and simplified design functions as a flexible brand system, where each icon can stand alone to represent a distinct aspect of the foundation’s work. The symbols can also be layered, used as image frames for storytelling, or arranged in patterns to maintain visual consistency across materials. Distinct colour coding, with red for the flame, orange for the heart, and green for the house, strengthens recognition and meaning. The clean typography and balanced spacing ensure the logo remains clear and adaptable across both digital and print applications. Overall, this refreshed identity encapsulates the Bushfire Foundation’s mission to prepare, regrow, and rebuild, creating a cohesive and emotionally engaging visual presence.
