Hi my name is Luca, I am a communication design and business student with a passion for capturing illustration and photography. I am interested in capturing the essence of human emotion and desires. I recently studied at Monash Prato centre in Italy and my experiences there have inspired my most recent design proposals, such as ‘Time to smell the roses’ a videographic exploration of human connection to nature.
Time to smell the roses
Time to smell the roses is a short 5 minute film about the survival of our connection to nature. It is about the ways people connect with nature, whether it be swimming at the beach or hiking up a mountain or having a picnic in the park. There are so many distractions in modern life, that take us away from experiencing the beauty that nature has to offer and this video is a reminder to appreciate nature.
Vlad's Restaurant and wine bar is a speculative food related business inspired by my own food memories. Here is a photo of Vlad's wine glasses:
I can still hear my memories
I can still hear my memories is a design publication about my time studying abroad in Italy. It is about reliving memories through songs, songs for me have always been a way for me to come back to memories. While in Italy, I listened to lots of different artists and this publication is a compilation of that expressed through lyrics and watercolours.
1.5 Metres Apart
1.5 metres apart is a publication design about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on people’s mental health. This publication contains a range of interviews, statistics and infographics. It also discusses the negative impacts of Covid-19 on people’s educational experience and on the way we work.
