DinoBOT
2016
Aplopio is a tech company that's focused on solving problems in hiring. Recruiterbox is their primary software product that simplifies hiring for companies. The application has an inbuilt AI system called 'Dinobot' that helps users navigate through the software and resolves any issues with usage. The brief was to design a mascot for their AI bot - 'Dino'; a chirpy, curious, smart and helpful Dinosaur.

DESIGN PROCESS
I quickly sketched out the different visual directions we could take for the character, so that the client would get diverse options for the style of the character.
The selected design was to be a mix of #2 and #5. His features were very friendly and approachable.
FINAL CHARACTER
Here are some colour variations and accessories for Dino. We went with Yellow because it best represented the brand's values and personality.
Dino was designed in various poses for usage in collaterals like stickers, magnets as well as emojis on the UI. Dino was so well loved that he became an integral part of the office space to give the team company during meetings, brainstorming and chai sessions!
