Print + Marketing +
Social Media + Branding
As senior designer for Dark Horse Comics China, my team and I were responsible for updating and creating content for various IP’s to be introduced to the Chinese market. Some of the major characters I helped with were Emily The Strange, Umbrella Academy and Tentacle Kitty.
I also created social media posts for Wechat and Weibo, giving information and imagery to anyone that followed DH comics in China.
Catalogs & style guides
Creation of the cover and layout of the 2019 catalog offering for china.
Creation of character presention guide for the IP: Secret Order of the Teddy Bears, as well as icon and logo creation + varients.
I created the covers and layouts for the Emily the Strange IP which had 3 variants. Emily Classic, Rock, and Bad Kitten.
