I love this game so much! I made this list of ZVZ builds for our guild in the game Albion Online. This is from last season (S11), I’m in a different guild now (hint: #2). Like I tell my friends, I’ve already designed for literally almost everything! Haha.

I could do variations and other guides, just tell me what to put. If your guild would need any graphics, please hit me up! :)

Logo and branding

I created a logo (and branding– see next post!) for a shop selling essential oils. I created 2 very different variations as I didn’t know what my client was going for exactly (there were no preferences or instructions at the start).

[midpointworks]

The client chose the fun logo! :) I created the whole branding. I was also able to take some photos to be used in their instragram and shopee page.

I made this for my sister’s baby’s birthday. :) The circle image was for the “thank you tags” for the loot bags (also for fur babies!). The client just sent me the photo of their cake and I determined the elements from there.

The cake— reference for both me and the baker! Haha.

I realized that I haven’t been updating this tumblr! I was browsing through my files earlier today and saw this placeholder for a reporting students needed for their class. I’m sharing this with you because I found this very interesting. This request was new to me since I haven’t been a student in this pandemic. :)

The instructions were quite simple and the client knew what he wanted. The white rectangle is where the reporter is placed and the other rectangle is where their presentation is placed. I just decided to make the design elements less distracting as to not distract the viewers from the presentation.

My work back in 2017. My own brand. In the branding, I wanted to incorporate the accessories early so I made Alunsina wear a tiara. :) All photographs were taken by me. These accessories I made by hand. I was the art director, too. Haha!

1st birthday: Invite & place mat

Posting this made me realize that most of my commissioned work are birthday invites for kids. I started making them in 2014 for my pamangkins and inaanaks. :)

Updating: website banner

When I first saw their website and facebook page, the first words that came to me were: outdated, lethargic, and motionless. Their design did not reflect a well-known, dynamic, and excellent center. I couldn't do much about the existing branding and I just had to work my way around it.  One thing I cannot forget about this job was when I created materials for their Facebook page, one former student tweeted that this company “now has a budget for a graphic designer”. The truth is, they always had the resources to hire one. But what I really want to say about this is that branding is very important and it will be the first thing people will notice. Businesses should REALLY invest in packaging and marketing their services and design should reflect what they are capable of.

I have done many designs for them, but in this post I'd like to show you how I re-designed their website banner.

Before

This is not exactly what I replaced, because I couldn't find that specific banner. This is also from their website and this one looked the closest to what I want to show you.

After

I patterned this after what I've seen in the code itself, so I got to learn how to use slices in Photoshop. Haha! This is the same content.The key here was to use a more 'modern' font face and more shapes that suggest movement. It's also very important to update the testimonials to keep that connection with the future students. This is a very smart thing to put on the website banner.

for JaDine

I made tickets for a block screening of Never Not Love You in 2018. I hope you can visualize how they looked like because my actual pics are hilarious. Haha! It is folded in the middle, hence the print inside and outside for the layout. 

I also made fillers for the additional sponsors that TeamRealTV had after I had them printed and two banners that they put up at the venue during the screening.

The design elements were patterned after the film’s official materials. Some elements were taken from the film’s trailer, too. All in good faith.

The outside print. The client requested that quotes from the movie be put at the back side of the ticket.

Sponsors at the top, and screening schedule and [perforated] control number at the bottom for the inside of the ticket.

Done with love, and without charge for JaDine! But TeamRealTV gave me some goodies which included a box of Emperador Hotshot. Haha!

Comatose

Party pub for my good friend’s birthday back in 2018! Done with love, and without charge since it was a party for a cause. Please note that my friend was willing to pay me, because that is what a good friend would do. Haha!

for Miguel

Some of the fan work I did in 2019. He had no prior branding, but they wanted to use the color green. Someone else made the logo for Odronauts (the black parallelogram) and I put it in the pubs to assert the club’s branding. Every time seemed to be a challenge because there weren’t any high-res photos of him, but we managed.

After the contest, I tried to incorporate the same elements from the material coming from the organizers to the ones we produce for him in the fans club.  

All of my work for this guy was done with love, and without charge. Haha! Here are some of the designs that I came up with and was used* by the official fans club:

(The last one wasn’t used since he did not perform)
