Hi I’m Arella! I’m a communication designer specialising in identity and branding, working across digital and print. I have a passion for colour and illustration, to create vibrant, yet clean and considered design solutions. I value projects that are meaningful and purpose driven. In my major studio project Not-For-Nothin, I was able to focus on designing for good. My chosen not-for-profit is World Literacy Foundation, which provides books and literacy resources to children in need. This project reimagines a new visual identity system and applications for the organisation, with the purpose of improving their communication.

World Literacy Foundation - Brand Guidelines
The brand guideline document features the new visual identity system comprising of a new colour palette, typography, illustrations, and grid system. The concept behind this identity is literacy as a kind of ‘superpower’, alluding to the organisation’s beliefs that literacy is a fundamental skill in life, and a way out of poverty for those who are illiterate and have very low income. The new visual identity is confident and empowering, while simultaneously warm and inviting. It reflects the organisation’s values of joy, love of reading and empowerment. Furthermore, the brand guideline also showcases how the identity system can be applied across a range of touchpoints of the organisation.
