They were inspired by the brand founder and her own pets and family, so it was important to capture their personalities and at the same time reflect her vision for the brand.
The illustrations will be used on Instagram and on the brand website.")

In terms of style, the client wanted a mix of flat and clean look with a slight hand-drawn/imperfect feel.")

The goal was to communicate the company's premium product and unique features and benefits in a simple and easy to understand way.
The visual approach had to reflect a premium, modern and clean feel that represents the company's values and positioning.")

The client requested a theme inspired by Candyland, yet still following the brand guidelines. The infographic is designed in sections that can be reused separately to enhance articles or social media posts.")

The client and author of the book \"Finding Your Path\" was looking for a simple but unique cover design, that would complement the meaning of the book, but is also visually appealing to young people and their environment (relatives and friends).
The main illustration represents the journey from school to adulthood in a positive way and it expands to the back cover. The style is fresh, simple and happy. The 2-color limitation was a challenge that lead to a design that uses contrast and negative space in a playful way.")

The illustration reflects the positive nature and the local character of this program and incorporates the announcement text and a call to action.")
