Branding for Daisy Grace by 25AH

“Daisy Grace is a new Swedish fashion brand with dynamic collections that fit a wide variety of styles.The brand has two different personalities that reflect each other, where Daisy stands for the playful and Grace for the stylish. This was our inspiration for the logotype’s mirrored typography. The logotype is flexible and can change proportions depending on context. We used subtle patterns and holographic foils to add contrast to the minimalistic design. Our work included logotype, packaging, tags and website.”

Visual Identity for an Illustrator Mateja Kovač by Mireldy 

“Mateja asked us to create a new visual identity and design for the promotional materials of her brand. We found inspiration for her new visual identity in her gestural strokes and the playful color palette which Mateja uses as a starting point in her creative work. With that we emphasize spontaneity and lightness, as well as refined taste in colors and shapes, by which the illustrator attracts us into her intimate world influenced by simple, day-to-day moments.”

Branding for RŪH by Leta Sobierajski

“RŪH Collective is a London-based fashion brand founded by entrepreneurs and creatives from New York, London, and Istanbul. RŪH’s clothing is for women whose love of modesty is anything but quiet. Heavy in illustration and color, RŪH’s identity is defined by the geometric shapes which are built upon the same grid as the typographic identity. The geometry is reminiscent of old block art involving nature and sun, and finished off with a crisp copper foil.”

Packaging for Thomas Dakin Gin by Here.

“Our task was to communicate the masculine, straight-talking nature of Thomas Dakin, in stark contrast to the affected style of much southern-oriented gin drinking, whilst elevating the processes and unique botanicals used in the 250 year old recipe. To do this we designed a tall, partly embossed red label, with an abundance of messaging and a variety of typefaces, and set it against a gun-metal grey glass bottle, that refers to square apothecary vessels of the eighteenth century.”

Friends! I’m excited to announce that in January 2016, I’m selling all of my belongings, stuffing a few sundresses and a sketchbook into a backpack, and traveling for the entire year. I’m planning on visiting more than 20 countries and setting foot on every continent. Since I make a living drawing the alphabet, I thought it would be pretty rad if I could fund my 26,000 mile journey around the world with the same 26 letters I hold so close to my heart.

So, I’ve started the 26 Letters 26,000 Miles project: a special series of travel-inspired posters for your viewing (and purchasing) pleasure. Every dollar raised through this project will go directly towards my ‘round the world journey, from plane tickets to late night street snacks. Can 26 little letters really take me 26,000 miles? I have no idea, but I’d like to find out just how far they’ll get me. I’ve experienced an unbelievable amount of love, support, and good fortune from Internet friends. Any bit of help is so greatly appreciated. If you buy a poster - AMAZING! If you share this project with your social media networks - SUPER COOL! If you email this project to your mom - YAY! Really, I am forever grateful and would give you the chocolate tip of this Drumstick I’m eating right now if I could. If that’s not gratitude, I don’t know what is. Also, please note that it is extremely difficult to type while eating a Drumstick. I can’t wait to go on this incredible trip, and I hope my artwork will inspire you to go on an adventure of your own.
