Hayat Plaza — Art Direction · Campaign
A retail promotion designed to feel like a moment, not a mechanic.

02 / 08Context
Hayat Plaza ran a spend-and-win promotion in 2020 — the kind of campaign where the prize needs to do all the work. A car as the headline prize, gifts as secondary incentives, an interactive mechanic as the point of difference. The brief was to make it feel like a moment, not a promotion.
The challenge was category noise. Retail promotions in Qatar are a constant — every mall, every season, every month. The visual problem was differentiation in a format that has defaulted to a single aesthetic: big prize imagery, big typography, no restraint. The design problem was how to be legible and desirable at the same time.

03 / 08Constraints
What this had to hold.
The car prize must be visually dominant — it is the primary hook.
Multiple prize tiers (car, secondary prizes) in a single hierarchy without confusion.
Interactive mechanic communication — the campaign had to explain entry without a wall of copy.
Mall context: the campaign competes with every other retail stimulus in the same space.
Arabic and English — both languages with Hayat Plaza's bilingual identity standards.

Campaign identity
The brand in event mode.
Hayat Plaza's identity as a quality signal on a promotional piece — the brand mark differentiates the campaign from generic mall advertising.
Aaأ
Three-tier type
Campaign. Prize. Mechanic.
Display weight for the campaign name, bold for the prize, regular for entry mechanics. Three tiers on a single surface, never competing.
Event accent
Campaign colour signals event.
Hayat Plaza primary palette with a campaign accent — the colour change marks the promotion without abandoning the brand.
Prize as hero
The car leads every format.
The prize vehicle at the top of every layout — the visual anchor that carries the aspiration before anything is read.
Prize-forward
Car. Campaign. Entry.
Prize at the top third, campaign name at the centre, entry mechanic at the bottom. A layout rule applied across every format.
