MARBELLA DESIGN ACADEMY

Social Media Content Design | 2023 - 2024

CONTEXT

Marbella Design Academy is a private college offering BA HONs studies in the fields of Fashion Design, Interior Design and Graphic Design. During my time there as Marketing Designer & Content Creator, I collaborated in the design and creation of appealing contents for their social media networks.

SOLUTION

My main task was to turn the best students' work into content for social media: from carousels and stories for Instagram, to videos for YouTube and Meta platforms. My job required knowing, above all, how to display a lot of information in an entertaining and visually appealing way, to captivate both academy followers and future students.

ELCAMM Music Management Course

MUSIC MANAGEMENT COURSE

Graphic Design. Copywritting. Video Edition | 2023

CONTEXT

ELCAMM is a private music academy that, since 2012, has been transmitting values for life through music to its students, using a teaching system that combines rigor, enjoyment and play.

ELCAMM completes its training offer with specific workshops for musicians. Sometimes, some workshops have a hard time getting off the ground. To help generate conversions for the Music Management Course, extra special work was done.

SOLUTION

In order to gather as many registrations as possible for this online course, we opted for a digital marketing strategy. The information and booking process was collected in a post on the ELCAMM blog, which acted as both a landing and conversion page to which sponsored posts on Meta's social media would lead.

01

VISUAL UNIVERSE

First things first: following ELCAMM's branding guidelines - and relying heavily on typographic design - I created a basic visual universe for the digital marketing mini campaign orchestrated to help promoting this online course - extensively redesigning the graphics initially proposed by the music school and the course trainers.

LANDING PAGE

I wrote and published a post for the ELCAMM Blog which acted both as an informative page and a conversion tool to turn leads into customers.

03

PROMO VIDEO

As an asset made to generate leads, I designed and animated a promotional video that was published on Meta's social networks as a sponsored post.

The target achieved with this video was to explain in less than a minute - and in a simple and fun way - what the online workshop was about, as well as managing to gather the minimum number of alumni required to carry it out.

ELCAMM III Green Music Camp

III GREEN MUSIC CAMP

Graphic Design. Copywritting. Video Edition | 2023

CONTEXT

ELCAMM is a private music academy that, since 2012, has been transmitting values for life through music to its students, using a teaching system that combines rigor, enjoyment and play.

Every summer, ELCAMM organises a week-long music camp in the middle of nature where children between the ages of 6 and 16 learn music while playing and enjoying their free time outdoors.

SOLUTION

In order to garner the highest number of registrations for this activity, we opted for a digital marketing strategy. Information and booking process for the camp were gathered in a post on the ELCAMM blog, which acted both as landing and conversion page to which a series of sponsored posts published on Meta social networks would lead to.

APPLICATIONS

VISUAL UNIVERSE

First things first: following ELCAMM's branding guidelines, I developed a basic visual universe for this campaign, based on two axes:

  1. Information: through a typographic composition which allowed anyone to know what the camp was all about with just one glance
  2. Emotion: using a colour palette in shades of green plus photos of children having fun in the middle of nature.

03

PROMO VIDEO

As an asset made to generate leads, I designed and animated a promotional video that was published on Meta's social networks as a sponsored post.

The video's key narrative was based on comparing what a week of summer sounds like with children (noise, chaos, endless play) vs. without children (peace, quietness, silence, holidays). This video aimed directly to the need that all parents have to get rid, from time to time, of their offspring in order to enjoy a bit of quality time for them.

TRANSDISCIPLINA A/V Editions

TRANSDISCIPLINA A/V

Art Direction. Graphic Design + Illustration. Motion Graphics. Web Design + Development | 2017 - Present

CONTEXT

Transdisciplina A/V is an audiovisual collective that, since 2016, curates live events in which generative art, electronic music and live visuals merge live.

After their absolutely successful string of events in 2016, Transdisciplina A/V core members felt that some quality visual push was needed to help promoting louder and better the project. So, they called on my help to collaborate on this crucial task.

SOLUTION

To help improving the online diffusion of each event curated by the Collective - while, at the same time, enriching the project's branding narrative - I am entrusted the creation of an original and unique (audio)visual concept for each event, the which comes embodied in the main marketing comms of each event (print and motion poster plus social media images and short motion graphics clips).

APPLICATIONS

POSTERS  |  WEBSITE

In addition to a website and merchandising items, from the 6th edition to the present day I have designed a bespoke poster for each event curated by the collective, made of clear and clean typographic compositions over glitchy backgrounds, moving in sync motion with a musical mix made with tracks and sounds from the artists invited to each edition.

APPLICATIONS

POSTERS  |  WEBSITE

Using WordPress and enough HTML5 and CSS3 to customize several details, I designed and developed a landing page for the Transdisciplina A/V collective. Through the page you can find all the relevant info about the project, as well as book tickets for any of their live music and visuals events.

RUBIUS Gaming Chairs

RUBIUS GAMING CHAIRS

Art Direction & Graphic Design | 2021

CONTEXT

El Rubius is one of the most important influencers and creators of audiovisual entertainment content in the Spanish-speaking world. To make the most possible profit from his popularity, Rubius sells through his online store branded merchandising and apparel. But in 2020 he relied on Drift Gaming to develop his most complex product to that date: two gaming chairs, one of them launched as a limited edition product and both marketed as high-end products.

SOLUTION

Setting the visual design for these products involved unifying both Drift Gaming's and El Rubius' branding into one visual code. To do this, I based the project's lettering - as well as its visual design - on the logos and colour palettes of both brands, creating thus a simple yet vibrant aesthetic which made the products stand out to the fullest.

The marketing strategy would be the same for both products: the creation of product landing pages with a link to an online shop, plus its dissemination through a strategy of organic posts on the main social networks, paid advertising in media and search engines and a press release sent to the specialised gaming media on each chair's launching day.

HOT WHEELS Gaming Collection

HOT WHEELS
GAMING COLLECTION

Art Direction & Graphic Design | 2021 - 2022

CONTEXT

Mattel, Inc. is the creator of some of the most iconic toys in history, as well as a company in a perpetual search for new market niches in which to offer its own products or those developed in collaboration with other companies, when a consumer audience eludes their scope. That is why, after focusing on the gaming niche, Mattel relied on Krom Gaming to develop a collection of peripherals branded with one of its flagship brands: Hot Wheels.

SOLUTION

Although there might be a spectrum of adult consumers interested in this collection, the main target audiences were pre-teens and teenage boys and girls. But first of all it was necessary to unify both brands into one. To do this, I based the project's lettering - as well as its visual design - on the logos and colour palettes of both brands, creating thus a simple yet vibrant aesthetic which made the products stand out to the fullest.

Based on these resources and a couple of patterns, I created the whole set of marketing applications for this project, from the product's landing pages, to the assets needed for their dissemination strategy through organic posts on the main social networks and on media and search engines' paid advertising spaces.

APPLICATIONS

To help pushing the furthest the offline and online diffusion of this collection of gaming peripherals, separated marketing comms applications were created for both the products individually and together, displayed as a collection.

VS GAMERS Xmas 2019

VS GAMERS 2K19 XMAS

Art Direction, Graphic Design, Illustration | 2019

CONTEXT

There is nothing more unappealing for a centennial gamer than a classic Christmas sales campaign… But, what if we put Santa and the Three Wise Men to compete for VS Gamers fanbase's love through a contest? In which they'll be shown as vulnerable and longing for emotional support... And, to put the icing on the cake, what if in that contest we were giving away to VS Gamers fanbase a full gaming setup and special discounts on selected brands? Campaign's concept, set!

SOLUTION

Setting the campaign's tone was a work I shared with Atlas Informática Audiovisual Dept.: prior to start filming and designing anything, we decided how every character should look and act like in the push videos which would be the campaign's main assets: Santa, the magic man in a sorry state; the Three Wise Men, brothers in arms (and at permanent war).

APPLICATIONS

With a proper plot and both characters' and campaign's look & feel set, the main effort was to shoot a couple of videos for social media networks, which should act as a hook to funnel VS Gamer's fanbase and further audience to a landing page in which they could vote for the character they loved the most. To help pushing even more the difussion of this campaign, I designed too a wide set of banners and pictures to be published in blogs, websites and social media ads.
