CLIENT WORK
CLIENT: immi
PROJECT: NEW 2.0 LAUNCH
SOCIAL: @immieats
In this project with immi (A fresh new organic ramen company based in LA), the co-owner, Kevin, wanted to incorporate his love of old-school hip-hop into the launch of their new 2.0 relaunch. The idea was that they "remixed the flavor" so the marketing should do the same.
I took inspiration from the Samurai Champloo anime intro animation and mixed it with graphic elements that would help it pop against their social media feed.
EVERY TIME I WATCH THIS I GET HUNGRY
SOCIAL MEDIA FEED IDEAS
I noticed how they used contasting colors to create boxes for framing their HD photos so I did some exploration to present a few
"lead-up" designs for the 2.0 post
The strong yellow and black were a bit challenging to work with at first but I found that playing with scale, hierarchy, and contrast helped me expand on my options.
Shameless plug, DEFINITELY GO VISIT www.immieats.com and get yourself some! it's mad delicious!

EatChocopieTogether.com launched on 08.15.2020 as part of a collaborative project between Mina Cheon, The Asia Society, and The Korean American Community Foundation.
Their goal was to raise $5000 to help those who had been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic as well as raise awareness against anti-Asian racism.
GOAL:
Utilize the Chocopie design with traditional Korean Obansek to create an engaging promo ad for the Eat Chocopie campaign.
I was excited to get the chance to offer my animation and graphic design skills to help spread this message as my work focuses on building positive relationships between Black-American and Asian-American communities.
I utilized the Brilliant Chocopie designs by Mina Cheon and incorporated the 5 primary colors (Obangsaek "오방색") found in traditional Hanbok to bring a pop of color and celebrate Korean culture.

Being an illustrator, my ability to draw made me the go-to artist for asset design and creation
To the left area few icons, I designed for our course directory
Because the COGx brand logo didn't spark the notion of "creative learning" we created an icon specifically for the course; "The Rainbow Brain"
An interactive commercial I made to share the company's mission statement to curious new clients
