A New Symbol for Europe, Exhibition 5:23 AM

I recently visited The Hague in The Netherlands to see the exhibit of the my flag and the 11 other winners at the "Bright Flags" exhibition put up by Design Den Haag.

Here are some photos from the exhibition:






I was also stunned and amazed when I walked up to my flag... waiting for me was a sign that said, "Rachel will you marry me?", arranged by my incredible partner, Jonathan. I said yes, of course! You can read the article here.

A New Symbol for Europe, Winner! 2:49 PM

The current European flag with its twelve identical yellow stars placed in a circle on a blue field, was designed in 1955. Since then Europe has changed. Design Den Haag Foundation asked designers to submit their ideas for a new symbol for Europe. Here are my submissions.

Current EU Flag:

Submission 1:

Using the original flag colors, I've transformed the design into a modern representation of community. Using yellow to represent members of the EU and white to represent the rest of the world. The EU coincides with the rest of the world and forms a unifying sphere.

Submission 2:

The spherical shape represents community. The gradient touched by light at the front represents the power of the unity of the EU. The visual feeling of motion represents constant evolution and movement forward of this unity.

What is Home? 2:46 PM

My submission to the New Acton Nishi, What is Home? Competition.

The idea of home to me is as fluid as you are. Our home is the imprint we make on our surroundings whether it be a painting on the wall, wallpaper. Everything is an extension of self. With that in mind I created a video documenting my day and my imprint on my home. Home is you = You are home.
