The work included:

- select off-platform promotions and organic social

- other major graphic design projects for the brand

2023 April Fool’s Campaign
Event concept, 3D modeling (Blender), Design (Photoshop)
Led the visual development of the 2023 April Fool’s in-app takeover and social campaign. On April 1st-2nd, Top WEBTOON series were transformed into snack items in their app banners and thumbnails using 3D rendering, and the rest of the series thumbnails were given a snack-themed decoration. Hidden among the thumbnails were green letters that spelled a secret message and users were encouraged to comment on social when they found the secret message.
The social team developed the initial scavenger hunt idea and I developed the visual execution. I also created the 3D-rendered graphics and directed the Design Team’s production of final graphic assets.
