Phase 1

Establish Style

Step 1

Strategic Direction

Determined conceptual direction: changing from “Caretaker” brand archetype to “Explorer.” Gathered examples of existing brands for inspiration: Tesla, Patagonia, Airbnb.

Step 2

Moodboard Motifs

Gathered visual examples and refined with client until specific patterns or motifs were identified that expressed that strategic direction:

  • Moody natural images with pops of color
  • Dramatic type woven into images
  • White text & technical lines over images

Step 3

Initial Brand Looks

Combined motifs into visualized brand looks. Includes colors, typography, photo / illustration style. Serves as a temporary internal style guide throughout the project.

Phase 2

Design & Deliver

Step 4

Initial Designs

Chose 3 initial designs to establish varying formats with actual content:

  • Primary landing pages
  • PPT deck
  • Social post templates

Internal Timeline

We also created an internal timeline for product and company milestones.
