Kira MandonGraphic Design Portfolio

My name is Kira and I am a graphic designer!

I am a multi-disciplined graphic designer, but my strengths and passion lie in branding,

editorial design and colour theory!

Welcome to my design portfolio! Here you’ll find a combination of my degree work from the last three years alongside my own freelance work.

Client: tokyobike, LondonProject type: HND, Illustrative, Print

A project to create double-sided posters that tokyobike, a cycling shop in London, might use as window displays and promotional handouts. Bicycle illustrations were created on Illustrator and transferred to InDesign to build the posters. The second side of the double-sided handouts illustrated tokyobike’s own suggested routes for cycling around London. Route illustrations were also created on Illustrator and transferred to InDesign.

tokyobiketokyobike is a small, independent bicycle company founded in 2002 in the quiet Tokyo suburb of Yanaka. The name was derived from the design of the bikes. In the same way the mountain bike was designed for the mountains so tokyobike was designed for Tokyo.

Based on the concept of ‘Tokyo Slow’ the bikes are designed to be light to ride with an emphasis on comfort over speed. The bike is simply a way to enjoy your city, as much about the journey as the destination.
