Collaboration:

Worked with the Studio to create a set of mood boards that capture the vision of the Creative Director centered around the modernization of archival concepts. The logo development is styled with a vintage font grounded in subtle tree root movement. Metallic foils add a layer of futuristic tones. The tree, a symbol of the Studio’s philosophy, is peppered throughout the mood boards in sketch-form paired with handwriting. Visually integrating “lost” elements was also explored using film frames and torn paper edges which also created a layered effect. The colors are a mix of sandy gold tones, hues of purples, rose gold copper foils - floods of deep purple and neon green accents add a modern edge and nod to the duality of old and new.
