BaoWow!

Inspired by the traditional bamboo steamer, we have created a circular box with a contemporary touch – upon lifting the lid of the box, an array of 12 customized crystal magnets capture one’s attention as they sit in a circular fashion on the top tier, with a die-cut in the center revealing the title of the notebook beneath. Matching infographics provides detailed introduction and pronunciation of each of the 12 “Bao” (which means “Buns” in Mandarin) in the notebook enclosed, whereas dotted pages encourage self-documentation.

The appendix contains meta-graphic applications.

Boranda

Borandá is an initiative to encourage society to visit Atlantic Rainforest conservation units. Its name come from the Portuguese words Bora (informal for Let's) and andar (walk). Movement's visual identity combines colourful and organic shapes of nature with a modern-urban scenario, which is the context of the main audience – those who are not used to visit the units. Visual identity creates a path of trails and the line camouflages itself in illustrations in a playful message: to visit the Atlantic Rain Forest is to preserve it.
