Uniwish

Uniwish

As more and more physical stores struggle to keep their doors open, UniEuro must implore new sales tactics to stay competitive. This workshop is focused on creating a new campaign strategy and visual designs to support it. After looking through the UniEuro web sites, there was no cohesiveness in the way all the information was presented. The new strategy is to combine all the information and to get customers active on Facebook, Twitter, Pintrest, and Instagram.

From all our research my team and I created UniWish, it gets customers engaged, sharing, and spreading the UniEuro brand online. UniWish uses a photo booth kiosk to take pictures of customers. Each customer can customize their “wish” and send out a message as a gift idea. All the photos taken will be used for social media and repurposed into testimonials about different products.

Silver Lining

Silver Lining

Silver Lining is a metaphor for optimism. We created this collection for the skate and snowboarding company “Bastard”, a local Milano company that has no problem pushing the boundaries and blurring the lines in their products, apparel and graphics. Silver Lining was completely inspired by and for Bastard. Silver Lining is honest, clever, iconic, ironic, optimistic and well designed; everything Bastard represents. 

Being affected by the current violence around the world during the start of the project, we wanted to somehow make a difference and put a stop to all this but there’s only so much we, as students, can do. Using what Bastard stands for, we created a product, clothing line, including graphics, that could help people find a way to release their aggression. We found products that were both physical, relaxing, and ironic. We also wanted our graphics to be at the heart of the skateboarding and snowboarding world as well as in the heart of Bastard. The graphics have a grudge feeling and are extremely iconic with a strong underlying message.

Serendipity

Serendipity

We were tasked with creating a system that allows the guest of Park Hyatt Milano hotel to discover all the available features the Park Hyatt has to offer, along with discovering the city (Milan, Italy) in a new way. The guest could experience a full luxurious lifestyle in both a digital and physical way.

Since Park Hyatt is a one of the top luxury hotels in Milan, we really had to understand what luxurious means. We came up with 5 key words: personalized, sense of freedom, intuitive, exclusive and time. With those keywords in mind, we created an app that could tend to the interests the guest of Park Hyatt had, and still be so much more then just the hotel services. We came up with an app called “Serendipity”. This app will allow the guest to discover the services within the hotel according to their needs, as well as discovering Milan in a whole new way that is personalized for them.

Iloism

Iloism

After studying various religions’ mission habits, objects, sounds and symbols, we discovered that many religions have an interesting interaction between foods and their beliefs. We created a religion that brings people closer than ever through the partaking of meals, events and the use of a variety of objects. Iloism was created for one main purpose: bringing the community together. It also gives its members and non-members the opportunity to spread gratitude for their community. The community will grow, share, eat and maintain itself financially through a vast network of volunteers, events and fundraisers. Members and non-members will find that Iloism is just a large family making time for each other.
