The exhibition Everyone Is RPG features comic book-style illustration by Jin Lio that delves into the various manifestations of human good and evil. The main visual design uses a variety of paper tearing effects and a large number of pixelated visual elements, as well as contrasting colors and printing effects, to set off the instability of human beings in their various extremes of character.

Everyone Is RPG means that each person plays a different role, each identity is mixed with different positive and negative personalities, and this instability and unpredictability is worth exploring and pondering.

The exhibition, commissioned by the Macau Illustrators Association, is an explosive mix of illustrations by Jin Lio and typography under the art direction of Dan Ferreira and Leong Kun Lam of the Macau-based Indego Design studio. The visual identity includes several different typefaces such as Brass by Fantasia Type – in different styles –; Capitalus Diabolus, Graham Meade’s interpretation of Pluto; Base&Bloom by NaumType; and a Chinese font, creating an extraordinarily strong and gritty visual atmosphere.

The project was recently awarded the D&AD Wood Pencil, for the category Graphic Design – Applied Print Graphics.

This mooncake packaging project for the Macau based Mandarin Oriental Hotel is a brand new attempt for the next generation market. Indego designer Kun Lam opted for “Far side of the moon – 月球的另一面” as the design concept and tailor-made packaging including mooncakes, the iconic paper fan of Mandarin Oriental, and a reusable tote bag.

The far side of the moon is the side that always faces away from the Earth. As it cannot be seen by the naked eye, humans are curious about this unknown hemisphere of the moon. Mandarin Oriental was known to be luxurious and rich in oriental culture, but this far side of the moon mooncake packaging brings people to the unknown side of the brand – young, bold, and interesting, luxurious but trendy with the continuation of oriental culture.

The “Far side of the moon” project intends to to explore and discover the non-traditional side of Mandarin Oriental infusing new vitality. Typographically transported by Nikolas Type’s Grand Slang, mixed in the Roman and Italic styles and conveyed by Aeonik from CoType for the body text, Indego carried out bold creations to take over the public’s traditional impression of the brand.

The Lettering Artists Association of Macau (LAAOM) organized a stunning exhibition with the theme “Pop & Art”. Sponsored by the Cultural Affairs Bureau of the Macao SAR Government, LAAOM invited over seventeen Western calligraphy artists from Macao, Hong Kong, Mainland China, Vietnam, and Korea, showcasing over fifty artworks, with both “pop” and “traditional” concepts that have been applied to the artworks, using calligraphy as the medium.

Lam Ieong Kun with his team at Indego Design created an thrilling exhibition identity using a creative font pairing of Grand Slang by Nikolas Type and Nostra by Lucas Descroix amongst Aeonic by CoType for functional, informative usages, perfected by hand lettering from Oliver Lao. The Chinese typeface is yet unidentified.

The identity is displayed on a wide range of media from fully foiled windows to staircases and even buses.
