EZIO AUDITORE PRESS KIT

This press kit project was done as a requirement for

the Advanced Graphic Design class at Ateneo de Manila

University in 2011. The assignment involved choosing a

fictional character and preparing a press kit for a ficti-

tious launching of a product or service relating to the

character.

To be consistent with the Renaissance era and style of

the game, I decided to be liberal in applying ornamental

elements to the brand applications and follow a richly

red, black and gold color scheme.

This series of mockups were made as requirements for the Web Design class at the Ateneo de

Manila University. The exercise involved coming up with new website concepts for any organi-

zation or business. My project was explored different ideas for a dedicated university internal

network that makes it easier to send out announcements, tasks and forms.

Below is a detailed interface for messaging, viewing class and organization forums, and ob-

serving statuses of pending form/file submissions. The opposite page shows a mockup for a

quickview of current school events that also includes a rating and feedback feature as well as

another set of mockups for a student network and profiling system.

Sibyl is my information design senior's thesis at Ateneo de Manila University. I designed a website dedicated to

providing users information on exercises, prompts and tools to overcome creative block as well as provide a basic

network in which different users may share their work and ideas. The website went online on January 2012.

The defining dynamic of the website is to serve as a "writer's creative journal and community" where a writer may

track his own progress and development, keep a collection of ideas and interact with other users in coming up and

sharing ideas and prompts.

Sibyl includes five main exercises for its users: (1) a table for tracking one's daily habits, activities and goals, (2) a

journal for recording dreams in short entries, (3) a random question generator, (4) a space for keeping self-notes,

(5) a random prompt generator that sits alongside the writing space and features ideas shared by other users to

help writers come up with new ideas.

Above is Sibyl's main page which is accessible once a user has registered. The page is composed of three sec-

tions: (1) the header containing the navigation, statistics, status updates, and question generator; (2) the middle

section that features buttons linking to the different main exercises and info pages on the site and the bottom

section for news updates. There is also a left sub-navigation bar and a right sidebar that gives an introduction of

the site.
