Art Direction & Design Strategy

The visual framework aimed to project an innovative, professional fintech aesthetic while remaining firmly grounded in Driva’s established brand guidelines.

  • Spatial Hierarchy: Positioned the primary Driva logotype at the top of the banners to ensure it remained completely unobstructed by physical booth furniture or passing crowds.
  • Clarity & Scannability: Kept layouts minimalist and clean to allow high-priority content—like product features, value propositions, and trust badges—to be digested in seconds.

Design Process

To meet strict print production and event deadlines, I executed a structured, agile design workflow:

  • Discovery & Alignment: Collaborated with the sales team and project managers to define the physical booth constraints, target dealer personas, and core messaging.
  • Concept & Wireframing: Sketched spatial content structures for the signage to ensure readability from a distance in a crowded exhibition hall.
  • Iterative Design: Developed two distinct visual directions, presenting rationales for layout, colour theory, and user journeys (QR code placements).
  • Production & Handoff: Prepped, packaged, and delivered pixel-perfect digital assets and press-ready, CMYK-compliant print files to the external agency.

DELIVERABLE BREAKDOWN

1. Large-format exhibition signage

The signage required careful spatial consideration to act as a functional marketing funnel in a high-traffic environment.

Content Architecture: Structured the layout as a vertical funnel—core platform features at eye level, then the headline, hero images, Driva logo and social proof badges—finishing with a prominent QR code action zone at the base, mapped against the live site and the digital signage specs.

Visual evolution (iterative pivot)

  • V1 (Initial Concept): Focused heavily on deep brand purples to maintain a corporate editorial feel.
  • V2 (Final Direction): Inverted the palette to a high-contrast brand green. I integrated Driva’s signature pill-shaped graphic patterns to inject dynamic movement and maximise visual pull across the expo floor.

2. Tailored marketing brochures

I designed two distinct brochures to target Driva’s core B2B audiences, utilising a colour-coded grid system and custom iconography to organise dense technical information.

The Dealer Brochure

Engineered specifically for car dealership networks. Iterations focused on explicitly highlighting immediate selling points, such as Driva’s expanded lender pool, directly addressing dealer pain points.

  • V1 (Initial Concept): Focused heavily on product-feature views on both the front and back covers to promote Driva to vehicle dealer partners.
  • V2 (Final Direction): Broadened the cover beyond key product features to show the scale of Driva’s partner-lender network, and updated the inside pages with more persuasive imagery highlighting Driva’s finance-penetration offer to dealership partners.

The Partner Brochure

Geared toward a broader audience including car rental brands, finance companies, and insurers. This layout integrated localised UI mockups showcasing Driva’s white-labelled customer journey, automatic credit assessment features, and commission structures.

High-contrast signage and a QR-led funnel made the booth easier to spot and act on, while the two audience-specific brochures gave sales a sharper leave-behind.
