llaollao Malaysia llaollao Malaysia, client A famous frozen yogurt brand from Spain, llaollao has seen tremendous sales in Malaysia. I was in charge of designing promotional materials such as posters, buntings, social media, vouchers and collaterals. In addition, I created campaign visuals for local promotions and campaigns in 2019, from keyart to online visuals, to rolling out store-level POSM.

(above) A typical outlet look for stores in Malaysia. I create the content for store level display–promotional standees, e-wallet informative posters, and also TV display where I create promotion slides. (opposite, top) llaollao billboard design to raise awareness of the brand to noninformed drivers on busy hot-spot roads. The design is 2-sided and features a protrusion of the tall llaollao spoon. Also, electronic billboards highlighting best-selling products in a slideshow format. (opposite, below) I occasionally design retail space of the outlet booths, featured here for Starling Mall in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia.

llaoglass

New product launch in Malaysia featuring reusable glassware. I created an info set of tips on how to reuse the containers after consumptions for social media.

New Honey Sauce

Key visual for the launch of the new honey sauce. I thought of the headline and went for a minimal colour tone to showcase the simplicity of honey.

Chinese New Year Angpau

Designed the angpau for CNY 2019. Inspired by the fruit topping varieties served in llaollao, I went for the “fruitful theme of prosperity�.

11/11 Day 2019

11.11 is the single best-selling promotional day for llaollao. Almost every product is sold at RM11 for 9 hours at every outlet.

I designed the festive visual, using bright colours like a firework of vibrancy.

For collaterals, my company decided to save print costs by only using social media and TV visuals. Our social media posts skyrocketed on Facebook and Instagram, with up to 2k likes and comments, compared to the standard 800 likes.

Social Media Content

I work with the social media executive to generate ideas and visuals for digital advertising.

I create weekly social media post visuals for llaollao’s famous wellnesday promotions in Malaysia. Each Wednesday, llaollao features either 11%, 22% or 33% discount on most products. This is one of the most popular content for the customers who look forward for the postings on Instagram and Facebook.

The limited edition takeaway Apple promotion for customers to bring home insulated froyo and toppings in one case. Ideal for picnics, gatherings or parties.

Boroondara Customer Journey Maps City of Boroondara Counil, client The City of Boroondara Council (Melbourne) commissioned Swinburne University to redesign their nine customer journey maps to a more intuitive and easier to understand design. Customer journey maps are now a popular tool to communicate customer experience within human-centred service design processes.

Co-design approach was used as well as research to obtain the optimum solution. I was tasked with creating the icons, design map prototypes, assisting user-testing workshops and finalising academic reports. The outcome has greatly benefited the comprehension of Council with the newly designed infographics for all levels of staff.

The circular customer-centric diagram communicates a higher-level mapping of customer life events. Placing the customer at the centre, visually and symbolically, was crucial to the research for communicating insights into the customer viewpoint and bringing the customer voice to life across the organisation.

Interaction and user experience was a key part of the concepts. I wanted users to unravel the deep sea and experienced the depth personally. With the deep-sea gigantism and bioluminescence, users are able to understand these concepts through playing with the booklets.
