Abstract
DesignHaus (Agency System)
Abstract
DesignHaus is a student-led creative agency developed to bridge the gap between academic design practice and industry expectations. The project focuses on creating a structured, collaborative system for producing professional visual identities within music and event contexts. Combining clear workflows, creative direction, and consistent communication tools, DesignHaus operates as both a brand and a functional design system. The outcome demonstrates how strategic design processes can support scalable, real-world creative production beyond the classroom.
The Manbergs (Single Artwork)
Abstract
This project involved the development of a cohesive visual identity for The Manbergs, a 1960s-inspired band, centred around the single artwork for Giving. The design explores retro aesthetics through bold typography, limited colour palettes, and textured imagery to evoke nostalgia while remaining effective in contemporary digital formats such as Spotify. The outcome demonstrates how considered visual systems can translate across platforms, balancing artistic expression with functional requirements like legibility and recognisability at small scale.
From The Abyss (Event Branding)
Abstract
From The Abyss is a visual identity and promotional campaign for a live metal event, designed to communicate genre, atmosphere, and event information across both print and digital platforms. The project includes a suite of assets such as posters, flyers, and social media content, unified through strong typography, high contrast, and layered textures. The outcome highlights how cohesive design systems can create impactful, industry-relevant promotional material that aligns with audience expectations and real-world event contexts.
