*University Project - Fictional Brief*

Melbourne Kulin Tour Guide studio asks us to think deeper and acknowledge the land we live in. From the indigenous peoples perspectives, what stories and history could be told about this place we live in? In this studio we build more knowledge and skills on how we can creatively respond to these diverse resources and communicate them.

​

Concept: These ingredient bottle designs are inspired by my Filipino heritage, using the shape of a jeepney, which is the primary vehicle used in the Philippines to travel, as the label cutout and also utilising the vintage, vibrant colour palette (to display the journey of flavours these ingredients bring and how eating/smelling/seeing these will make you feel like you have traveled to country of origin) and illustrating the native animals of each place to connect more with the areas. I have learned so much about the rich histories and cultures of the Indigenous peoples in this studio and at the same time I was able to revisit my own culture and learn more about myself in the process.
