Spreading Awareness
Hikikomori Poster Concept
This awareness poster explores the Japanese phenomenon of Hikikomori, a term describing people, often gamers, who voluntarily withdraw completely from society. With the topic and slogan already defined when this assignment was briefed, my challenge was to communicate the issue through a powerful visual metaphor.
Using image association, visual experimentation and digital illustration, I developed a layered composition that encourages viewers to pause, reflect and engage with the message. Typography was carefully integrated to strengthen the overall impact of the poster.
Softwares:
Procreate
Adobe Photoshop
Conceptual schoolproject.
Stockimages were used for mockup purposes only.
Process
The focus of this project was to communicate a difficult subject in a way that genuinely captures attention. I explored numerous visual associations before finding a concept with enough emotional impact. Every illustration was sketched by hand before being refined and completed digitally in Photoshop.
Curious about the process behind this project? I'd be happy to share the full research, concept development and visual studies that shaped the final design. Feel free to get in touch.
Design Method
-
In-depth Research
Every project begins with listening and observing. I explore the story behind the brand or product to understand what it truly wants to communicate.
-
Concept Development
Those insights evolve into a visual system where emotion and strategy come together. This is where the tone, rhythm and direction of the design take shape.
-
Iterative Exploration
Typography, colour and composition are refined through experimentation. Every iteration brings the visual language closer to its strongest and most coherent form.
-
Presentation
The final outcome should be more than a finished design; it should tell a story. Every project is presented with careful attention to context, consistency and experience.

01: Multitude by Stromae
For this vinyl sleeve design, I translated my personal view on Stromae’s album Multitude into a visual identity. Inspired by the music, lyrics and themes of the record, I created an inner and outer sleeve to refect the album best.

A movie with dragons, portals and monks? Count me in. For this fictional film poster, I developed a time-travel story and translated its narrative into a cinematic visual concept using Photoshop. A fun challenge, with a great result.

Can you see scent? Taste colour? Hear texture? For this fictional sensory festival, I created a promotional motion video designed to blur the boundaries between the senses and spark curiosity before the event even begins.

07: Zebra Striping
Binge drinking is no joke. This infographic I designed highlights the benefits of alternating alcoholic drinks with non-alcoholic drinks, using clear visual communication and structure to encourage healthier drinking habits.
