DORA ID
This ID follows Dora as she leads a lively parade through the vibrant jungle, surrounded by friends and family, to celebrate the debut of the new Dora series. Designed to reflect the colorful and playful spirit of the 3D Nick Jr. rebrand world, the ID features fun, inflatable textures and a stylized look for Dora and her friends, allowing for more dynamic, energetic movement throughout the scene. The result is a joyful tribute to the show’s launch, capturing the excitement of this new chapter.
My role involved directing and leading the design team. I collaborated with the team to develop the overall look, 3D character designs, icons, and environment, overseeing the cohesive aesthetic through textures, colors, shapes, and design. Additionally, I worked on modeling the 3D characters.
In a vibrant jungle, Dora leads a lively parade with a magical baton, unaware that Swiper is plotting to steal it. As he sneaks closer, Dora activates the baton’s powers, transforming Swiper into a towering parade float. Comically squished against the camera, he rises into the sky, revealing the Nick Jr. logo behind him. This playful and adventurous scene perfectly captures the celebratory spirit of the new Dora series.

Character Design & Sketchs
For this ID, we reimagined the Dora characters by simplifying their features to allow for more dynamic, exaggerated movements than those seen in the show. This approach was designed to give the ID a playful, bouncy feel, enhancing its dramatic energy. While we embraced the stylization to create a lively, engaging animation, we made sure the characters remained recognizable and true to their original designs.
