m•a•c cosmetics brand day

Conceptual Creative for M•A•C Cosmetics 2014 Brand Days. The 2 day conference focused on Creativity and Innovation with the key to the room setup being a Inspiration and innovation map based on "ism's". Brief was to create a space that was off brand, encouraging participants to experience a wider pattern of thought. 

In addition to the Innovation Mural, each participant received a yearbook which outlined their key achievements throughout the fiscal and included inspirational quotes, facts, modes of thinking, definitions of the "isms" and puzzles to stretch their thinking.

Brainstorming sessions were aided by whiteboards in the shape of speech bubbles creating a tangible experience and the typical class room conference setup was replaced with colourful bean bags creating a comfortable environment.

“pipe dream” urban artwork insitus & insignias

pipe dream n. An unattainable, fanciful or vain hope, notion or scheme.

For much of humanity, a new world is a pipe dream, safety for the family unit against war or hunger in their homeland is unattainable. On the flip side acceptance by humans for humans within a new homeland can also be out of reach.

Pipe dream is a project focused on humanity and togetherness. A laying down of veins, a new arterial system pumping cultural life blood through the urban landscape. Through semiotic analysis of traditional ideography, visual language is merged, colour is celebrated and it’s placement carefully considered to conjure a correlation to heritage and culture (e.g. flags, ochre, staple food, textiles). What results is the skin to the arterial system which weaves itself through public spaces encouraging the flow of acceptance, and essentially feeding a new infrastructure celebrating the cultural diversity in which this world encompasses. A new language of hieroglyphics, a relearning of language to promote an ever evolving organism that is the world we live in and the global tribe we all belong to.

Visual representations in a variety of languages and indigenous motifs were researched. The icons, symbols and scripts of core concepts of humanity (love, tolerance, knowledge, courage, strength, acceptance, forgiveness, patience etc) were then combined. From Arabic script to Turkish rug motifs. African Adinkra symbols to Japanese Kanji. Western icons to Indigenous Australian symbols of story telling and community. Native American totems and icons to “hobo” graffiti, Indonesian Toraja wood carving symbolism and Maori Kora. These visual indicators have been used for thousands of years to convey core ideals of societies and culture. 

Following the essence of the newly formed insignias created for a new world would make the “pipe dreams” of humanity a reality.

This project was a finalist in the 2013 Chippendale New World Art Prize.
