Final Fantasy VII Remake Rundown
“FFVII Synopsis Magazine”
May 2020
Branding x Editorial Design x Print Production
An editorial exclusive Final Fantasy VII Remake mini synopsis magazine, in its first installment.
Contents reveal a brief intro and synopsis to the game, providing a backstory on Cloud Strife, his recent relations with “eco-terrorists” AVALANCHE, Shinra’s motives, and Sephiroth’s goals that tie in with the planet.
The Final Fantasy VII logo is kept on the front cover and the video game franchise’s font (OPTIEngeEtienne) is used throughout the magazine in main titles/headlines per page--a way to keep their iconic font recognizable for fans.
The franchise, made by the Square Enix video game developing company, keeps a certain elegance with a modern take with their themes in visual design. Image editing/manipulation, color correction, layout design, and typography were heavily used to create dynamic, yet consistent brand design for use of IP and content.

Challenge Mats
June 2023 - Present
Art Direction x Conceptualization x Research & Development x Product Packaging
A STEAM focused product, Challenge Mats pave a way for young coders to challenge themselves on coding and programming Evo, the one-inch robot, on various environments and arenas with obstacles and missions to complete.
These Challenge Mats are a complete kit with designed accessories for Evo, challenge cards, and a 24" x 33" coding mat with themed skins.
These coding mats are currently an ongoing process since 2023 and continuously evolving. I led the early stages of conceptualization, process, imagery, iconography and graphics, 3D design, and print production up to the prototyping and demos of these products, with the aid of cross-collaborating the creative, product, curriculum, and engineer teams of Ozobot.
More Challenge Mats, accesories, and design process coming soon.
