[Design] Corporate Identity for Alpha Oriental Group

In this project, I'm going to re-brand Alpha Oriental Group and the companies which specialist in franchising amusement machine and entertainment industry in Malaysia. Alpha Oriental group has four major businesses which is manufacture amusement game machines, children amusement theme park, photo sticker machines outlet and karaoke outlet. Each of them has different market segment and target audiences so I have to come out with different marketing plans, corporate identity and promotional tools.






My final outcome in this project will be a redesign version of the company's website. Redesign the website is more important than other works because it is a useful and effective promotional tool to spread the company's information and latest news to public. Furthermore, it is a space to build a long term relationship with its customer and maintain Alpha Oriental group's brand equity. Beside website design, a functional and unique stationary set also an important tool for a strong brand. It shows the unity design and core brand's characteristic for theirs staff and customer.

The false child has the same size as a real child. It’s to make illusion for public that a homeless child are waiting for you help. In addition, it also bring the concept to audience of do not let the next generation suffering like the victims of war world2.


Another concept is on the heart sticker located at the name list below the sculpture. Concept of this heart shape is to making link between ISSUK concept and the meaning of the sculpture “ memorial of all victims of the Blitz on Birmingham.”

[Ambient Media] Break Through

I had change the D&AD brief to my own version of learning on Ambient Media. By using ambient media to promote breast awareness during the UK’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month (BCAM) in October 2008.


Concept
The concept of this message string is to create an illusion for audience to tell them that this artwork will send for check up soon. On the other hand, it’s to remind audience that is time to go for a breast cancer check up. I chose gallery and museum as the tool to spread my message because I'm targeting fourty to sixty female audiences who live in the UK.


Message
The artworks with string tell the audiences that this piece of statue is currently not open for public becuase it needs to be checking up. Like the crime scene, there are a string surrounded to avoid people get closer.


Medium
The string will place on all female artworks such as statue, oil canvas, stained glass with full body can be tie with the string to convey the concept to public.
