Some whimsical vector illustrations I did for a health food take away store - Osumo

Portraits

I recently had to create an illustration for a profile of mine, and once I had finished with it I decided that I was looking a lonely, so made a little friend for myself. I forgot how much I love watercolors..♥

ECO_ROI, Lilo.

BRANDING

>> This is an existing company that

was launching a new ECO-ROI campaign

which would merge financial investment with

environmental protection.

The company LILO would plant a tree for each

client that makes use of the companies web

design and development services.

Thus building a “green” reputation of their

clients free of charge while they strive to be

carbon neutral as a company.

The Shop

My Specialist Project:

We have all been affected by the global

financial meltdown, and this has made me

question whether design has been positively

affected by the forced simplification of graphics and color.

Will we learn from the mistakes made that

have lead to this global crisis?

We generally turn to budget living and No Name products when times are financially tough.

However as soon as we get a little rope we hang ourselves as it is straight back to luxurious living and shopping for high end brands. Is this a

vicious cycle that is too comfortable to break causing us to destroy everything, and

consequently self destruct?

The Shop is a futuristic value store in the year 2045, stocking what may be regular daily items if we do not accept responsibility for our

actions and react. The Shop has been designed to make a social comment and serve as a

warning to mankind.

If we do not learn from our mistakes is this where we could be heading?

“If we can recognize that change

and uncertainty are basic principles,

we can greet the future and the

transformatioin we are undergoing

with the understanding that we do not know enough to be pessimistic.”
