“GUSEV VANTAGE”

  • THE BRIEF

    As part of a University live brief, set by Studio Kiln, we had to “find something lifeless and make it lifeful...”

  • THE CHALLENGES

    My biggest challenge within this project was using the Mars environment to influence the designs in a subtle, unique way. For example the name “Gusev” comes from the name of the crater that humans will use as a landing site if we ever venture to the Red Planet.

  • THE OUTCOME

    The final branding for this hotel was moulded by elements such as the planet’s basalt geology & extreme weather.

  • THE LESSON

    This project allowed me to work on my presentation & pitching skills. Presenting in front of a real studio was both nerve-wracking & exciting, but most importantly it allowed me an insights into the day-to-day workings of the design industry.

  • THE FUN

    I took this opportunity to teach myself Blender. After playing around with texture & modelling, I created the glass crater seen across the brand assets.
