02. Research
BP2's grand finale culminates in a captivating runway show held at Uzay gallery, catering to a discerning audience of creative individuals and art enthusiasts in the Bay Area.
As a remote participant in this project, my initial research process involved engaging in Zoom meetings with the team, followed by digital exploration through trials, surveys, and concept designs.
During this research phase, I discovered a profound appreciation for the color red, which emerged as the primary representative hue for the collection. Additionally, there was a strong desire to evoke a romantic ambiance, creating an emotional connection with the audience.
By meticulously incorporating these findings into the design process, BP2 aims to captivate its target audience with a visually stunning showcase that embodies the essence of creativity and artistic expression.

03. Process
To capture the sophisticated essence of BP2, I combined a delicate serif font with a lively italic typeface, infusing movement and airiness into the visual identity.
Color played a significant role in BP2's graphic language, with large minimal red spaces artfully framing text and images, creating a distinct visual impact.
BP2's success was a result of a collaborative team effort, and it was essential to showcase the collective talent while simultaneously highlighting the collection itself. Hotspot Creative generously sponsored a print publication that delved into the models' stories and their unique creative practices. This publication, titled "Behind the Blindfold," featured insightful interviews along with detailed collection looks and exquisite craftsmanship.
