With many practices and mistakes I made, I learned the short cut in exporting the elements.

Export sticker designs as transparent background in AI, then insert "Image as Plane" in Blender. Solidify the object to increase the thickness.

The problem I encountered was that Cinema 4D can only be used at the digital room, since it is really expensive to export

Hence I decided to go with Blender, since it is free and I can work on it anytime

# data[].attributes.body
Advice by the Digital Room

The shadowless, clean design can only be manipulated via Cinema 4D or modelling program

Since I have many design elements for my items, it will also be more sustainable to not produce everything physically out

My previous works are all done physically and I enjoyed doing them, but I want to come out of my comfort zone and learn new skills.

The beauty of natural material, the soft wooden texture enhances the experience of revealing the object

Need to be easy to open, less step -> dont want to frustrate the audience especially for survival kit what needs to be used at the moment

Be CREATIVE ans OPEN for possibility don't be limited by the small restrictive dimension

# data[].attributes.body
NEW LOGO
I re drew the illustration so that it reflects the letter "D" of Advento to create the symmetry and balance.

NEW TYPEFACE
I changed from "Poppins" to "Roc Grotesque Wide" to enhance the fun bold personality of the brand. While the thick weight creates a feeling of security and safety which is suitable in the asylum seekers scenarios.

# data[].attributes.body
Sunnitta's Feedback:

OLD LOGO

The integration of the illustration with the text doesn't look as cohesive

Harriet Beesley's Feed Back:

OLD TYPEFACE

Primary: Poppins

Too microsoft like, lack of personality

# data[].attributes.body
Orange

Contemporary + refreshing feelings to clients

catchy color suitable as the "survival kits" color

Blue

universal color for sexes

balances out the bright orange

soft to look at

Tan

Brown

create contrast yet still organic and soften the orange

I am inspired to create items that resembles the food inside the bento box, hence the color palette mirrors the ingredients.

# data[].attributes.body
Advento derived from Adventure and Bento, it is easy to pronounce and remember in different cultures, which is suitable for asylum seekers. But also have a contemporary and uplifting tone of voice to it which align to the brand values.

All the movies explore how the characters survive/ struggling through their "tough life" to accomplish the life they dream of.

Brand Application
All human beings and situations share similar traits, therefore it is relevant to expand the research and perspective scope and new approach in helping the asylum seekers:

Observe on:

The "items" that helped the characters "survive"

Set mood/ tone

tonal color

Linda Leung: Refugees Equalities

Linda Leung, “The Use of Technology by Asylum Seekers and Refugees (2016)”

“An investigation into the use of information communication technologies by refugees during flight, displacement and in settlement”

Asylum Seekers Application
Due to the technological differences addressed by Linda Lueng in more developed countries, my items will need to be easy to understand more intuitive.

# data[].attributes.body
This in depth research in asylum seeker's life and journey through videos and news allow me to put myself into their shoes, understanding their difficulties, emotions and their needs. Which allow me to produce the packaging with a tone of voice that are more relatable and effective.
