Logo & Brochure Design

EMAAR PROPERTIES

A signature that spells class and sophistication even before the first page is turned or the first impression is formed.

Brochure Design

FIRST GULF PROPERTIES This brochure design showcases flagship properties of First Gulf Properties.

Identity

SYMBOLIC LONDON

I have developed a series of symbols for London City. This is a self initiative assignment. I tried to express London’s iconic monuments through symbols.

Visual Communication

HITACHI NO TRACE The power of the Hitachi Vacuum Cleaner had to be demonstrated in a compelling way. And there’s no better way to demonstrate it than imply that even a trained sniffer dog would find it hard to sniff up any evidence at a crime scene, once it’s cleaned up. By Hitachi, of course!

Visual Communication

KHALEEJ TIMES PUBLIC SERVICE CAMPAIGN Odd as it may sound, there was a spate of accidents with kids falling off skyscrapers during a period of time in Dubai. It was necessary to raise awareness against this problem as the first phase of activity.

‘Rhymes hanging in mid-air’ did it with just the right balance of shock value and mellow touch.

Activation

AL AAN TV IN-MALL CAMPAIGN

This campaign glorifies women in an unexpected way. Very often, the role that homemakers play in society is underestimated. This campaign seeks to reward homemakers for taking life head-on and still presenting a smile. Homemakers were asked to relate their stories in an in-mall event and awarded with a personalised certificate for offering so much to their families, often without expecting anything in return.

MANZIL IDENTITY

THE LOGO

EMPOWERING, ENABLING, INCLUDING

THE VISUAL LANGUAGE

The Manzil logo evolves from Manzil’s core philosophy of equal opportunity for Children with special needs in the stream of normal society. The ladder within the logo symbolizes Manzil’s attempt to provide an opportunity to go beyond limitations and move up against all odds.

Manzil is all about providing Hope, Faith and Courage to children with special needs. The institution creates a highly professional caring and learning environment for individuals with special needs to nurture their potential and develop the requisite self-help, social, educational and vocational skills that are required to function in society.

The visual tone of voice seeks to bring out the aspects of hope, aspirations and positivity through attractive and interesting graphic illustrations of kids and everything associated with them. The colours are light and vibrant depicting an atmosphere of encouragement and good cheer.

All elements of communication, be it print, outdoor or even digital will showcase this visual language for Manzil henceforth.
