Editorial design, packaging design, illustration
Hi, I’m Jaflenur! I consider myself to be a creative and passionate individual willing to learn new skills and expand my knowledge. During my last three years of studying, I have developed and broadened my understanding of design and its importance in functionality and inclusivity. Throughout my degree, I have learnt skills in a number of software including Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop and Figma, but most importantly I discovered my interest in editorial design, packaging and anything print related. I enjoy working on projects that involve getting to create physical deliverables and getting to use and experiment with different materials.
IPDEOK magazine
IPDEOK introduces upcoming and indie Korean artists, ranging in genres such as R&B, rock, hip-hop and many more! Each issue focuses on artists that deserve more recognition and could gain more listeners from around the world. IPDEOK celebrates the artists’ recent music and their influence in the Korean music industry, as well as globally. Packed with interviews, articles and recommendations of different artists, IPDEOK shows rising creatives and offers a different genre of Korean music to try. A playlist for each issue is included for readers to listen to while reading, packed with songs from the featured artists.
Undertale Switch packaging
For this project, I re-designed the packaging for UNDERTALE’s Switch version. I aimed to create a collector’s edition version with inclusions such as keychains, stickers, postcards and a Switch skin. The design for the game case was inspired by the pixel art style of the game, specifically the heart symbol that is seen throughout. While confronting a monster, the frame that surrounds the protagonist’s heart expands and shrinks depending on the attacks. I wanted to reflect this on the cover and included the heart in the centre of the design to emphasise its importance and continued motif throughout the game.
Oxford University Press book cover series
This project involved working with Oxford University Press (OUP) and re-designing the book jackets from their Very Short Introductions series. The aim was to make the jackets look more appealing and adhere to the topic of the book itself. I chose ‘The Gothic,’ ‘Witchcraft’ and ‘Superstition’. In my own designs, I took an illustrative approach to the book jackets. The concept of the illustrations involved the motif of windows, with each cover reflecting the topic. The jackets were enhanced by adding a white foil finish along with embossing to elevate the title and make it stand out when displayed.
