We Care for CityU Sports

Website Design

ABOUT

City University of Hong Kong (CityU) has nurtured thousands of outstanding student-athletes over the years, and now has over 400 athletes in 18 sports events. CityU is “One of the Best Universities in Sports” among 13-member tertiary institutions in Hong Kong, and the only University that has captured Double Champions for 9 times Grand Slam in the USFHK Sports Competitions.

The “We Care for CityU Sports” campaign aims to nurture the growth of their full-time CityU student-athletes in personal, academic, and career development, by providing adequate support through volunteer services and donation to them. All supporters of the University are cordially invited to take part in the campaign.

DESIGN CONCEPT

The motif of “three.js” animation is inspired by the polygon of CityU logo element, with a vibrant colour scheme adapted from the corporate identity system. The motion graphics create a visual metaphor of “Converging the dynamic of sports teams” as well as the connotation of “Every little makes a mickle”. Finally, it illustrates an objective of encouraging the myriad alumni to continually support the student-athletes through donations and volunteer services.

JUDGE'S COMMENT (WEBAWARD 2020)

"The site appears to be truly mobile-first in its design approach, which is refreshing to see. The "Itinerary Planner" is absolutely brilliant. I've used similar tools in the past, but nothing that takes a user this far along — actually drawing the directions line to connect the POI to the hotel is a great user experience! Allowing the Book Now button to drop the booking tool down rather than directing users to a new page improves speed and efficiency — and, again, works great on a mobile. Overall, a great use of technology to improve the booking process!"

ABOUT

The idea of this lifestyle store was blossomed by the founders of the company, Mr. Robert Lo and his wife, Nico. The couple has travelled to many countries over the years and their passion for interior design has been cultivated during the course of their business. Ski Portillo (where the idea of the boutique name comes from) is a unique resort located in the Andes Mountains 120 km from Santiago de Chile, where they have spent an unforgettable moment in this exceptional paradise.

We've been invited to create a set of brand identity for this new lifestyle concept store located in China.

LOGO DESIGN CONCEPT

Our lifestyle is what shapes our everyday lives, and to experience our lives to the fullest, merely seeing and touching the belongings that we own is not sufficient, but it's using all five of our senses (Tactile, Olfactory, Visual, Auditory & Gustatory) together to the fullest extent to feel the whole atmosphere and ambience, and to really relish it.

The concept of this logo is based on a pentagon, each corner representing each sense, the lines intertwining representing the joint senses, and the endless possibility of different combinations that will be provided by Portillo Estudio.

BRAND IDENTITY

MOTION GRAPHICS

Tagline: DEFINE & REFINE YOUR SPACE

Portillo Estudio, a new rising star in China home design, is like a fresh breeze sweeping across the stuffy summer of a steamy desert. People are all born with their uniqueness and individuality. No individuals are the same, not even between father and son, or mother and daughter. In Portillo Estudio, it is believed that a home is the most intimate place next to one's heart, a place where people can express themselves through their selection of colors, design, and the display of collectibles.

Full screen background images and videos with pseudo-gravitational effects applied to enhance the concept and visual impact, so that a more vibrant tone of voice was created.
