[Week 6] Unexpected Break

-

Monday morning blues were in full effect. I was already running late and mentally preparing for the dreaded commute when a work-from-home announcement saved the day. After a well-deserved extra hour of sleep, I settled into my makeshift home office with a cup of chai. While I miss the office banter, there's something undeniably relaxing about working in pyjamas.

-

Buckle up, because I'm about to take you on a whirlwind adventure – my first-ever brand photoshoot experience! As you might know, Awchat Olsen is the creative force behind some amazing brands, and this week, we were lucky enough to be part of a photoshoot for our retainer client,  Chambor , a leading makeup brand. The occasion? The launch of their new matte foundation! You might be wondering how I ended up involved in a photoshoot. Well, guess what? I got to be part of the pre-photoshoot mood board creation!  But the real magic happened when I stepped onto the set itself. It was a whirlwind of activity! There were stylists, makeup artists, photographers – everyone working together in perfect harmony. One minute I was mesmerised by the elaborate lighting setup, the next I found myself holding a hair blower, helping to create the perfect windswept look for the model! And let's not forget the vanity v...

I recently had the opportunity to learn the ins and outs of presentation design. It turns out there's a lot more to it than just slapping together a bunch of slides. This is something that you do not learn in design school. Probably comes to some people naturally but there should be a certain sense of how you think of presenting your work effectively. The flow, structure, and even the amount of information on each page are all crucial elements. One of the most interesting things I learned was about "hygiene checks." These are little details that can make a big difference in the overall presentation. Things like font consistency, colour palettes, and even the spacing between elements can all affe...

[Week 4] My New Design Tool Box!

"You're telling me," I groaned, staring at the blank screen. " This logo has to be  perfect ." My design director, Sarah, a woman who could turn a simple font into something so interesting, sighed dramatically.  "Listen, words are for poets. We're designers. Show, don't tell." I'd been struggling with a logo for what felt like an eternity. It was for a real estate brand, something sleek, luxururious, and memorable. My brain was a whirlwind of ideas, but they all looked like blobs on paper. How difficult could it be to make a logo, I thought to myself. " It's like trying to explain the colour purple to a blind person ," She said. Sarah raised an eyebrow.  "Exactly." She gestured to her computer screen, filled with mood boards and inspiration.  "Pinterest is for everybody, here, check these out."
