This game represents a first step towards the gaming industry looking for new and innovative ways to address climate change through their game design process. ONE LAST SHOT 2022 COLLABORATION WITH ELIZABETH CHEA AND SHAKIRA WILSON Gamers are using immense amounts of energy to power their systems, and it’s creating a catastrophic carbon footprint. A surprisingly large percentage of emissions come from idle mode, when computers aren’t even in use. Through our game design, players are incentivised to turn off their computers as often as possible. Our challenge was to create a game that educates, empowers and mobilises players and their respective communities to tackle climate change. Traditional gameplay often focuses on the achievements of a solo player, but we were tasked with challenging that status quo and developing a game that not only brings awareness to climate change in a fun and engaging way, but also actively makes a difference in the real world. One Last Shot is about uniting your community in the face of disaster. It requires players to turn off their computers in order to progress through the game, developing photos in the dark to uncover hidden truths. Through our game design, players are incentivised into the habit of turning off their computers as often as possible. Let’s empower everyone by powering off. https://nluzardo.com/MYAN-NSW Sat, 24 Oct 2020 10:05:22 +0000 nicole luzardo https://nluzardo.com/MYAN-NSW MYAN NSW x UTS SHOPFRONT Powering Young PotentialMYAN NSW is a state-wide, multicultural youth affairs network that aids migrant and refugee youth when they arrive in Australia in an effort to make them feel confident within society by equipping them with the necessary skills and networks to be successful.

Primarily they wanted to bring awareness to the organisation, and to communicate why they are operating, rather focusing solely on what they do, in order to foster more donors and philanthropists. They also wanted to be recognisably distinct to their parent organisation; MYAN Australia. With this in mind our solution was to develop a communication platform that appeals to a wide audience, relating MYAN’s heart and story; Powering Young Potential.&nbsp; They seek to empower young potential by showing that MYAN NSW works with young people, not for them. With this concept we’ve devleoped a prospectus, iconography, social media templaters and extras including posters, tote bags, event tickets and stickers.&nbsp; We’d like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of all the lands on which we are writing and you are viewing this project today. We recognise their continuing connection to culture, community and the environment. We pay our respects to elders past, present and emerging and extend that respect to all Aboriginal or Torres Strait islander people viewing this project today. We would also like to give a warm thanks to the MYAN team for giving us the opportunity and time to work on this project with them. https://nluzardo.com/VISUAL-NARRATIVE Sat, 24 Oct 2020 10:05:21 +0000 nicole luzardo https://nluzardo.com/VISUAL-NARRATIVE VISUAL NARRATIVE Uplifting Stories to tell in Broad DaylightA collection of stories written by the summer class of visual narrative 2021.

Aboriginal communities share a deep connection to the environment and all that inhabit it, and having the visitor engage with all of their senses to interact with the environment allows them to gain a deeper understanding of Darug culture. There is also a very strong connection between Aboriginal communities and the stars. I began to explore this further through the stargazing event held at Rouse Hill Estate. <img width="3418" height="2406" width_o="3418" height_o="2406" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1e3288d5b8c7e7a7093d802dd8072af094c7377434413f83c36e907cfc04ba05/Screen-Shot-2022-09-18-at-3.19.13-pm.png" data-mid="153226309" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1e3288d5b8c7e7a7093d802dd8072af094c7377434413f83c36e907cfc04ba05/Screen-Shot-2022-09-18-at-3.19.13-pm.png" /> Complete app concept | Navigating through the senses as mentioned above. The concept is a geo-location based app that allows users to be guided through a specific path and go through a treasure hunt-like journey around the estate, giving them an objective to achieve while raising awareness for Darug culture. Tuning in to their senses and surroundings would include the sensibility that the Darug communities share with their surroundings. Temporary signage is also in place that includes a glass plate with either a star or constellation engraved on it. It illuminates at night, allowing the user to look through it, the brightness of which will symbolise the stars that light pollution blocks. The prototype I’ve created for this project works at engaging the target audience with its interactivity and immersive elements. By having the users work with their senses and become aware of the environment, the app allows them to become more mindful of the world around them and the Indigenous communities that inhabit it, specifically of Darug culture whose presence is still within the estate. This app not only allows the user to rediscover the Darug artefacts that cannot visually be shown, but also gives them a reminder that Darug culture never stopped in the area, rather it evolves and co-exists with the European stories told by Rouse Hill Estate. It reminds the user of the shared future that Rouse Hill Estate and Muru Mittigar aim to uphold. https://nluzardo.com/RISOGRAPH-POSTCARDS Tue, 13 Sep 2022 05:30:57 +0000 nicole luzardo https://nluzardo.com/RISOGRAPH-POSTCARDS ILLUSTRATION // PRINT Risograph PostcardsExperimenting with risograph printing.

Inspired by Paula Scher’s quote, “Technology has changed but humans haven’t” the illustration alludes to evolution by mimicking the advancement of technology and the lack of change in daily human life. Letters is the English translation of the Latin Litterae, and readers holding the printed magazine then get a sense of holding something tangible and meaningful, just like the insights that Robert Bringhurst and Paula Scher give to designers of any calibre. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; As for the contents of the magazine I followed a layout reflective of each author. For Bringhurst my intention was to keep a smooth flow of typographic detailing whilst having enough movement where the letters appear as if they are dancing on the page. As for Paula Scher I decided to keep my layout rather sporadic and unique. Focusing on the quote mentioned above, I played around by reusing the interview contents and following the glitch format to reiterate Scher's design approach of expression, emotion and feeling. https://nluzardo.com/FAMILY-FUN-NIGHT Tue, 13 Sep 2022 05:29:15 +0000 nicole luzardo https://nluzardo.com/FAMILY-FUN-NIGHT ILLUSTRATION // VISUAL NARRATIVEFamily Fun NightA visual adaptation from a story shared with us by Uncle Greg Simms, an Aboriginal Elder with ancestrial ties to the Gundungurra&nbsp;people of the Blue Mountains and the Gadigal People of the Dharug Nation. <img width="1365" height="911" width_o="1365" height_o="911" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/29b7acd070ae9642418ccbdccbe2ef65970eb5027d890da22fd62db50a0db995/magazine2.png" data-mid="153239788" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/29b7acd070ae9642418ccbdccbe2ef65970eb5027d890da22fd62db50a0db995/magazine2.png" /> <img width="1365" height="911" width_o="1365" height_o="911" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/43ccae718bed3aa0b6f1e9fcf955fd0e5468ad1fbcf718b67a726c651253dbce/magazine1.png" data-mid="153239787" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/43ccae718bed3aa0b6f1e9fcf955fd0e5468ad1fbcf718b67a726c651253dbce/magazine1.png" /> <img width="1533" height="1194" width_o="1533" height_o="1194" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/77f0346830ccde210aa67f8e6228d13701b745bedc8820aca3c148ff0594ce03/magazine_ffn.png" data-mid="153239896" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/77f0346830ccde210aa67f8e6228d13701b745bedc8820aca3c148ff0594ce03/magazine_ffn.png" /> Family Fun Night 2018 This work is based on a story told by Uncle Greg Simms, an Aboriginal Elder with ancestral ties to the Gundungurra people of the Blue Mountains and the Gadigal People of the Dharug Nation. This narrative is a response to the Sharing Stories audio that Uncle Greg Simms shared with us. I focus on the concept of change and chose to use a childhood memory precious to me. A lot has changed since then and now, naturally we become distance, but Uncle Greg reminds us that despite his own experiences with change, these stories are our own now too. Reminding us that sharing our stories keeps those memories alive.&nbsp; https://nluzardo.com/KOKOA-CHOCOLATE Sat, 24 Oct 2020 10:05:21 +0000 nicole luzardo https://nluzardo.com/KOKOA-CHOCOLATE PACKAGING // PRINT KOKOA ChocolateA set of three chocolate bars that form a complete image when placed together.

The Mayans combined cocoa, water and chilli into a mixture not too dissimilar from what we consume today. It originates from “xocolatl” which translates to bittersweet. With this in mind, I opted into designing a set of three spiced chocolates to pay homage to the creators of chocolate. These three spices are chilli, cardamom and turmeric. The design follows the linear story depiction of the cultivating, bean extracting, roasting, emulsifying and mixing process. The geometric approach of the design aims to get a sense of the Mayan design culture without taking their distinctive designs directly. KOKOA chocolate is a set of three spiced chocolates, embellished with gold foil to attract the consumers’ attention and also has the accessibility where they can easily take out the chocolate as they please. Using dyed recycled paper, giving it a rustic look it makes the product more sustainable but cost effective as two chocolate templates can fit onto one A3 paper stock. https://nluzardo.com/HOME Sat, 24 Oct 2020 10:05:23 +0000 nicole luzardo https://nluzardo.com/HOME NICOLE LUZARDO&nbsp;|&nbsp; SELECTED WORKS Don’t be shy!
