Design Projects

UNI Design Explorer Series 5 was the fifth edition in the yearbook series of UNI's flagship ISBN publication, featuring the best design projects received on the platform annually. 

I served as editor of Series 5 and was also responsible for the cover design and promotional media like mockups, blogs, and banners. 

The poster was a part of my master's course, MA Architecture H&T (History and Theory), University of Westminster, London. 

This was the first review of our thesis project proposals and the brief was to design a poster that is a thematic representation of our research projects. The intent was to translate ideas and concepts into a visual, homogenous format. 

My proposal was to study the architecture within works of fantasy fiction from the 21st century, using theoretical frameworks and case studies from literature and film. My primary case study was the MCU film, Black Panther (2018). Therefore, the header portion featured a central building image from the virtual set of the movie, which plays an important role in the case study and analysis. I chose a serif font to adhere to a literary theme, placed on a faded background of Virginia Woolf's manuscript.

Two other initial case studies proposed also included the Harry Potter series and Game of Thrones series. Reflecting the same, the keywords were placed vertically, reminiscent of the iconic floating candles in Hogwarts, and the bottom portion was finished with the iconic King's Landing from Game of Thrones.  

The overall imagery was that of a book cover, which was self-explanatory, given my initial studies for the research project began from literary texts and fiction novels, gaining insights into the relationship between architecture in literature, and the role of architectural environments in stories. The presentation was approved as it is without any changes.
