  • Mental Illness Fellowship of Queensland (MIFQ)
    This freelance project was commissioned by the Mental Illness Fellowship of Queensland (MIFQ) based in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane. They are a specialist provider of programs and services for people living with mental illness, their families as well as their carers. MIFQ recently went through a redesign of their logo and created their strategic plan for 2012-2015. The task was to design a pull out flyer to compliment the Annual Report which was to be distributed at their AGM which had the same look and feel as the existing branding. The end result was a A3, landscape double sided pull out poster with a special fold where the poster is reduced to an A4 portrait size that fits nicely in the Annual report.

  • Chamei Organic Tea
    This project was a student brief to create an identity for a beautiful and luxurious japanese herbal tea label as well as the packaging for the product. With the die line provided to us, I sought to create an elegant typeface/brand that had strokes and straight lines that were suggestive of an oriental/ japanese character. The word Chamei is derived from the literal translation from Japanese language: poetry of tea. The label was inspired by the traditional poetic tea names given to blends of the Japanese herbal tea by the Monks from the Zen era of the 16th century.
