The Mighty Waikato
I utilized Adobe Express to create a comprehensive webpage detailing a hypothetical trip to the Waikato region of New Zealand. The webpage features custom-designed graphics, including a detailed weather forecast for the week, inspirational quotes of the day, and personalized horoscopes. Additionally, I redesigned
the logo for a local lodging accommodation to enhance its visual appeal and brand identity. This project not only allowed me to refine my skills in web design and graphic creation but also taught me the importance of cohesive branding and effective information presentation in digital media.
Te Tiro Accommodation
Logo Redesign
Old Logo
Te Tiro glamping and self-contained cottages offer visitors a tranquil escape near the Waitomo Caves, famous for their glow worms and guided tours. Known for its stunning views, the name "Te Tiro" fittingly translates to "The View." For the logo redesign, I aimed to capture the essence of this beautiful accommodation
by highlighting the breathtaking scenery. I incorporated a setting sun motif and introduced a more vibrant color scheme to enhance the brand's visual appeal. Through this project, I learned the importance of aligning design elements with the core identity of a brand to create a cohesive and impactful visual experience.
New Logo
Weather Forecast
Web Graphic Design
I designed graphics detailing the weather for the week of the hypothetical vacation in the Waikato region of New Zealand. I extended the visual motifs from the Te Tiro logo to create a cohesive sense of branding throughout the webpage. Using the logo's type treatment as inspiration, I designed similar
shapes for the weather forecast icons, such as mimicking the letter "O" in the Te Tiro logo for the sun symbol. Building on these elements, I developed unique and visually appealing graphics with a distinct style. Through this process, I learned how to maintain brand consistency while creating versatile and engaging visual content.
Whakatukī Wisdom
Web Graphic Design
I created graphics featuring quotes of the day from Māori proverbs called Whakataukī. I selected a proverb for each day of the week and designed each quote along with its translation. The color scheme and type treatment continued the brand voice established for this campaign. These design assets
could work as both website and social graphics. Whakataukī, known for their wisdom and metaphorical language, play a significant role in Māori culture. Through this project, I learned the importance of cultural sensitivity and how to thoughtfully integrate traditional elements into modern design.
Horoscope
Web Graphic Design
I created graphics for the weekly horoscope. I designed symbols for each zodiac sign, ensuring they aligned with the overall design motif expressed throughout the webpage. Design continuity is evident in the typefaces and the consistent
shapes used in both the weather graphics and horoscope designs. Through this project, I learned how to maintain a cohesive visual identity across different elements while creating engaging and distinct content.
