    paper Educational Materials / Sir Fox

    Sir Fox is an English school based in Minsk that celebrates hugs, community and language. I have created a fox character (based on the existing logo), identity, templates and characters for the study book which communicatesd their interesting and funny, but most of all, unique way of studying languages.
    By identifying this special way of studying and gathering children through games and love of language, I created the design templates and patterns that were approachable, informal, and memorable.
    I also developed a visual identity that matched the colorful and vibrant idea of the brand by means of illustration, patterns, posters, print hoodie designs and bold, amusing custom brooches.
