“GUSEV VANTAGE”
As part of a University live brief, set by Studio Kiln, we had to “find something lifeless and make it lifeful...”
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 final branding for this hotel was moulded by elements such as the planet’s basalt geology & extreme weather.
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.
I took this opportunity to teach myself Blender. After playing around with texture & modelling, I created the glass crater seen across the brand assets.
