D&AD Competition Brief – HSBC Reveal

HSBC Reveal is a campaign that supports international students by celebrating identity, community, and belonging. It responds to the challenges many face—such as cultural isolation, language barriers, and subtle or overt discrimination—which often impact not just academic success, but emotional well-being.

Inspired by HSBC’s “reveal your pin” letter, the campaign uses color decoder illusions—where matching lenses and patterns uncover hidden messages—as a metaphor for making the unseen seen, revealing personal stories, and fostering a sense of visibility and global connection.

Red: Chinese
Blue: ASEAN
Green: MENAT

The campaign consists of 4 parts:

  1. Cultural patterns
  2. Translucent credit cards that work as color filters
  3. Two sets of advertisements with hidden messages
  4. A set of Instagram filters

With HSBC Reveal, we stand by international students – not just as a bank, but as a bridge to a world where they feel truly seen, valued, and supported.


Peronal Brief – It’s not a choice

Subdivided units (SDUs) are cramped, often unsafe living spaces for thousands in Hong Kong. Despite new regulations, many still live in as little as 15 sq. ft. This project raises awareness and urges public support for government-funded improvements without burdening residents.

Instead of replacing SDUs entirely, funding should be provided to gradually improve their conditions. Act now to secure a better future for SDU residents and advocate for practical solutions to their living challenges!
