What I DID

The original brochure design differed only in the cover, causing redundancy and limiting printing. I redesigned it with a letter fold and created an acrylic display stand. Now, promotion cards and generic brochures are easily swappable, and the stand can showcase multiple versions simultaneously.

The original brochure design differed only in cover design between generic and promotional versions, causing redundancy and limiting printing. Thus, I redesigned the brochure with a letter fold and created an acrylic display stand.

By distinguishing between promotion card and generic brochure formats, content can be easily swapped. The display stand can showcase multiple brochure versions simultaneously.

What WE DID

My colleague and I collaborated on photography plans for events and campaigns, aligning with the new brand tone. Throughout, we brainstormed, experimented, sourced materials, and crafted unique props. Through this, I learned from my talented teammate, exploring various techniques and styles, resulting in captivating images.
