Sharing a few more screens from Cimilar.
I've been working to bring the brand identity to life and explore how the visual system comes together across different touchpoints. From the logo and typography to the colours and overall visual direction, the pieces are starting to feel more connected.
Still a few final touches left. More coming soon.

EARTHTURN is a ceramics brand I hope to open one day. I'm not a potter. So I used FLORA to help me build the whole branding, from physical product to brand identity mockup around the idea.
FLORA was where I pushed the ideas and a strategy I already had in my head, and tested it until it held. So I'd have more time for the part that actually matters: the brand strategy.
Here's what I kept reminding myself while making the visuals. You create images to sell a product, not just to look good.
So every image should have a job.
It might be a logo evolving: a turning wheel, then fire, then a vessel, resolving into the mark. I wanted the logo to show where it comes from, not just sit there finished.
It might be the slow rotation effect for poster or social media posts, you can realise this effect when someone throws on a wheel, the movement the brand is named after. Not a trending effect that looks cool but says nothing about EARTHTURN.
It might be the close-ups images: the material, the pattern, the piece from different angles. A customer buys what they can see clearly. Pretty from a distance doesn't sell, texture you can almost feel does.
It might be the packaging shots that show the foam and wrapping: the piece protected, not a bare pot sitting alone in a cardboard box. You're not just selling a vase. You're selling care, and a product that arrives whole and unchipped.
That's what making images for a brand really means, not grabbing whatever composition looks nice and calling it done. If you can't say why a visual serves the brand, it's decoration, not design.
Building the full brand system before the pottery skills even exist is a bold order of operations. Now that EARTHTURN looks this real, does it make you more likely to actually go learn the craft, or is this more about seeing the idea through as a design exercise?
Wow! So beautiful and professional work!👌
New website 🎉
The old one had been bothering me for a while. A lot has evolved since then and it just wasn't reflecting my work, my vision or my services the way they deserve. Built something that actually does. Still adding new projects as we go.
Also a brand refresh, but that's a conversation for another day. 😂
