AIRSPACE READY


Verizon | Campaign




Verizon's most reliable network connects everything from the ground to space. We took over the L'Enfant Plaza Station in Washington DC, next to the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) building, with 120+ units. Over 1,000,000 commuters took a visual journey through the airspace.

01

Process


Due to COVID, we couldn’t visit the station in person. So we decided to navigate through on Google Map’s street view and see the relationships between each units. By dividing the station into zones, it’s easier to craft a brand story for every commuter. 






Since it was unsafe to launch a photo shoot anywhere in the country during COVID, we repurposed stock images while adhering to the brand style for Verizon Business.






02

System


Every one of the 120+ units will serve a purpose, such as explaining why Verizon is an excellent partner for future aviation or reinforcing branding.









03

Campaign


We've given careful consideration to the placement of each unit ranging from static to motion graphics, taking into account walking direction, entrances and exits, and areas where commuters're more likely to be waiting than walking.



















UNLOCK LIFE


Lime | Rebranding




After changing their brand name from “Lime Bike” to “Lime”, Lime is looking for a brand revamp that excites grassroots people to explore their communities and cities freely.

Working with the strategy and design teams at Wolff Olins, we helped Lime define their promises, identified topics they would like to be involved and content they are going to bring to their users.

New Logo


Keep the legacy of Lime’s logo mark (both a wheel and a fruit) and transform the logo type with the essence of mobility








03

Digital Touchpoints



As we are talking to ordinary people and intenting to give out as much creative freedom as possible, the design strategy is implementing open sources rather than customizing every element in the brand identity.

Branded Content



Collaborating with production company Anonymous, Lime launched its new brand with fresh photography and film depicting everyday city life.

Lime Green


Inspired from their previous branding and bike lanes around cities, Lime is owning the bright green for communicating their contribution to sustainable micro-mobility.

01

Exploration


How much human element we’d like to include in the high fidelity digital world?
What other aspects we’d like to convey? Connection? Expression?





02

Logo


The fluid shape in the icon represents Yuma’s humanistic approach to transformation. The logotype is inspired by the word ‘human’ and responds to the curvy mark.








03

Typography



We chose Bogue Slab Thin for headlines. Designed by Melvastype, featuring many fine details, the soft forms gives it a friendly and approachable character with a hint of humanistic feeling. It’s the quiet confidence Yuma presents.

Our secondary typeface is Inter. It is used across all body copy when we need to be clearer and digestible versus expressive.





.                          






04

Photography



The style is genuine and profound. Drawing upon the raw, instantaneous essence of street photography. It possesses elements akin to photojournalism, seeking to encapsulate moments in their most authentic and human form. 



Navigating between the micro and macro perspectives, our images seamlessly transitioning between intimate, small-scale scenes and sweeping, abstract overviews.

TURN WASTE
INTO MONEY


WAHU | Rebranding  




“Clean Ocean Collective” decided to change their name because the business is no longer centered on cleaning ocean, but improving the waste management system in Southeast Asia. So they changed to WAHU from waste hubs.

We helped them with creating a new identity to kick start a new identity system.

YURI LIGHT


Municipality of Amsterdam | Speculative product
 

Working with the Municipality of Amsterdam, we designed an interactive xstreet lamp powered by solar and wind energy for a neighborhood at Amsterdam Noord. It detects the distance between people and responds with brightness levels. When more people approach, a series of light animations will be activated. When no one is present, it remains dim to conserve energy.

The design took the second place in the Light Challenge 2021 and exhibited at Floriade Expo 2022.

01

Process


Buikslotermeerplein is a neighbourhood in Amsterdam Noord. After talking with current residents, we found that people do not feel safe socialising outside at night.

How can we work with nature to power LEDs with renewable energy? We presented three ideas and pursued one due to city regulations after two months of research and ideation.





Experiment


Our initial idea was generating electricity from plants and soil. Then we found out there was not enough ampere for the current so we started to find new ways.






02

Concept


Inspried by nature
Keeping our goal in mind, we found that the structure of Japanese peace lily can be both beautiful and functional. After studying and dividing into sections, we created a design that satisfies our vision.

 




03

Test


We had the opportunity to test with over 200 visitors at the LUNA Light Festival in Leeuwarden and receive feedback. It was a huge help with our subsequent iterations.

When there is no one around, Yuri remains dim to conserve energy; when people approach, it brightens; and when they are very close (within 50cm), it dances to connect.




  
 

.  






04

Iterations


We built a new prototype (from 1.5m to 2.5m) in two weeks, with updates to the majority of the design. As part of our innovative lighting projects, we installed the light in Almere's Floriade Expo 2022. It will remain in place for six months. We are collecting responses from an online survey.

When there is no one around, Yuri remains dim to conserve energy; when one person approaches, it displays a single light animation; when two people approach, it adds more colour (four colours) and formsa new animation; and when three or more people approach from different directions, a rainbow appears in front of their eyes.

GROCERIES FROM THE FUTURE


Visual Methodologies | Interactive Experience




Our daily habits are filled with secret polluters. We shop as we wish, with a seemingly endless array of products on demand. All around us are small purchases with suprisingly large carbon emissions; like grapes imported from Chile.

We hope to bring these hidden emissions to light with Groceries from the Future. This shopping game is not about making money. In contrast, we charge the customer based on the amount of CO2 their product emits into the environment. With this, we hope to raise awareness about a product's impact on future generations.

01

Concept


Mapping experience with narrative

We began by conducting research on current retail trends, climate change efforts, serious games, sound design, and so on. We created a journey map that includes all types of interaction after crafting the narrative, and then iterated on this version.





Exploring technological possibilities

We wanted to create an interactive wall with consistent visuals and a smooth user experience. Experiments with electronic paints, touch sensors, a CNC machine, and projection mapping all contributed to the final result.




 

02

Prototype


Participants begin the game with 5.5 carbon credits and attempt to fill a shopping bag with six products while staying under the spending limit. Moving on to the next stage, they can learn more about the carbon content of the food they chose.

If they fail the game after receiving a receipt, they can choose to play again or finish. If a participant wins the game, they will receive a takeaway.








03

Iteration 


With user testing, we quickly modified the interface design and details like amount of food on the receipt.

Because of their low carbon footprint, we chose macadamia nut seeds as a takeaway. Participants are seeding a better future by planting the shell later as fertiliser.










04

Experience 


Here’s a demo of the interactive experience based on the story and visualization. As a team, we’d love to get feedbacks and search technical support to build this.
