Sustainability, the ocean, and environmental justice have always been topics close to my heart. When designing a paint brand from scratch, I opted to tell a story through the paint colors while keeping the brand friendly and inviting to purchase. My goal was to create a paint brand that is sustainable and actively helps fight for clean oceans.
To drive this message, the key words I used when designing the brand were organic, oceanic, and friendly to draw my audience in to support ocean cleanup. To emphasize the organic qualities of my brand, I utilized my own photography of sand in addition to my hand crafted textures using sumi ink, soap, and water. With natural textures in mind, I also took to watercolor to create my turtle brand asset. I chose to alter the typeface Circular to craft the logotype due to its inherently friendly and bubble like forms.
