project summary:

the goal was to interview a member of a group of my choosing, and find a problem they had that could use a designers help. the group i ended up choosing was kaos, a k-pop dance group.


Who, or what is Kaos?

Kaos is a k-pop dance group on Wheaton’s campus. A good representation of them can be seen in the user persona I created for one of their members I had a chance to briefly interview.

Through the user persona and interview as well as looking at various media the group has posted on instagram, youtube, and tiktok, I was able to create a problem statement.


How can Kaos advertise themselves and their content better going forward?

The specific areas I wanted to focus on based on my research thus far are the following

  • Social media
  • Posters
  • Logo
  • They are a newer dance group compared to others on campus

what about their current media needs changing?

  • Inconsistent color palette
  • Inconsistent imagery or iconography
  • Don’t always put their logo on their media that contains static images

Final stage of this design project was to create a prototype poster for the group.

The elements I wanted to be apparent in the prototype was the logo, and the group members. Those are their two most consistent things in their media, so I took them and made them bigger than everything else on the mock poster. For the two group members, I took inspiration from their photo shoots and how they’re usually in a dark setting with a badass sense to them.

And for the logo I just wanted it to be big and blown up. I think that If their logo is slightly larger on their posters and media going forward, it will help immensely with brand/group recognition.
