    uniE621 Rayo Paseo Sarong Designs
    Rayo Paseo sarongs are versatile beach accessories produced ethically in Melbourne. I created four sarong designs for their launch collection, taking inspiration from long slow days at the beach. The designs are inspired by the art of finding the perfect shell or bit of sea glass, drawing lines and patterns in the sand, watching the sun dip below the horizon and the native plants lining the walk back home. The Rayo Paseo branding utilises soft sand and sky colours reminiscent of the beach. I designed two versions of the logo: sans-serif with custom letterforms to promote a high-end feeling brand, and a “signature” to be printed on the distinctive sarongs. https://www.instagram.com/rayo_paseo/…
    paper Our Watch - Equal Space Explainer videos

    From storyboards, to illustration, to motion - I worked closely with an agency to create this series of 6 animations, to educate students and staff about Respect and Equality in TAFE and university.
    Extending the existing brand to create the unique illustration style, and developing the concept of traveling through ‘rooms’ to unlock concepts, the series remains engaging through important and serious content.
