Graphic Designer PORT FOLIO Wilma Visser 2015-2017
I strive for two things in design: simplicity and clarity. Great design is born of those two things. ~ Lindon Leader The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible. - Arthur C. Clarke
Resume Wilma Visser Graphic design is my passion, from making corporate identities to packaging design. Having a logical way of designing is a fundamental part of my design way. My fuel in life is when I design for clients and they really like the designs I made for them and learning new things from them too. I believe that constructive criticism will always be part of the job and I encourage clients to be honest when they supply feedback. Through criticism you can become a great designer and not just a good designer.

01 Packaging design Product Launch For this project, we had to take an existing brand and redesign their logo and look and feel. The brand I chose was Moir s because their logo is very old fashioned and I wanted to give it a fresh new modern look. I changed the packaging of the Moir s Custard Powder to a hard box so that you can just refill it again with the refill bags. 4

Foodopoly Here we had to reinvent the well-known game called monopoly into something totally new. I looked at chain restaurants in South Africa and researched all the varieties there is. All the penalties changed to something like that your supplies are done so you should buy new supplies. The properties and streets changes into the restaurants and where you can find them in South Africa. 6

02 WEB design HOW TO CAMP In my second year we had to make an instrutional website to teach people How to do something. I saw that a lot of beginner campers did not know how to start planning their trips for camping or either hiking. With this website it makes the process of planning and researching on what and where you want to go so much easier. Giving you a guideline on what to pack what to do research about how to choose partners to travel with you. 8
03 LOGO design Raising Little James + Jax In December 2015, I started interning at Tweek and this was one of the designs of logos that I did. The client wanted to renew her logo for her blog that she has of her son James. This is the updated version of the logo and the reason for the update is that the client got a new baby and wanted to add her second childs name Jax. 9

04 POSTER design 28 Oktobe Wellington-Oos Basaar My church where I live in Wellington were looking for a fresh look for the bazaar that happens every year. The Bazaar is there to get funds for the church so that they can invest it into projects that they have on the go. Here is the first part of the project I had to make a poster to inform the people about the event. The right side of the poster is for people to sign up for having a table to help with the event in any way they can. NG KERK Kaartjies Voor af te koop 16

Hangover We had to depict that Panado can cure a hangover without using any words that associates with drinking alcohol or even hangover. This image depicts the aftermath of a very heavy evening of partying and how Panado can help with the getting sick part. 18
End Year Function In my last year I was fortunate to be a part of our student council on our campus and one of my responsibilities was to create all the posters notifying the students of any events that we organized. 19
05 BRANDING design Today NGO project The Today center is to empower young children that needs people who can educate them on how to handle life and all that comes with it. The reason for the name Today is that all our choices that we make today is going to affect our future and if you do not focus on today to make it better we will not get the results that we wanted. This center will ultimately help the young children of the community to lead a better life and to improve them today rather than leaving it for tomorrow. LOGO: Inspired by the everyday choices and the different paths that we can choose. Showing that you do have another choice and it does not have to be that hard to take the right path. The two arrows illustrate two paths and the reason that they are not connected is that these children that they deal with do not think that there are more paths in life to go down. That is where the today center comes into play to connect these two pathways. I designed a few materials that they can use to help the children with. Including t-shirts for the team and for the themes I designed a poster that will later connect with their reading material. 20
