Taste Test
Which part of a brand makes you believe the product is real?
The thinking behind it, or the moment it finally looks ready to exist?
I’ve been developing Obsidian Veil, a fictional fragrance brand built around restraint, precision, and dark material elegance.
For this taste test:
01. Brand Process
The system, concept, typography, form language, and collection logic.
02. Product Packaging
The finished object, presentation, atmosphere, and shelf presence.

This is such a creative use of design. It's always inspiring to see projects that focus on how people feel, not just what they do.
Going with Product Packaging. The tactile reality of holding something is what closes the gap between concept and belief. The restraint in the Obsidian Veil packaging really sells the precision and dark material elegance angle you're going for.
Cheers MD 👍🏼
Product packaging.
Looks amazing
This brand process really stands out. The effort and thought behind it are obvious, and it shows in the final result. Keep pushing like this, you're building something remarkable.
Much appreciated KM 👍🏼

built a full brand identity for a robotics company that doesn't exist.
no client. no brief. just a hypothesis:
industrial hardware companies make some of the most visually powerful objects on earth — and then bury them under corporate blue and generic sans-serifs.
so I built IRONGRADE from scratch.
name. logo. color system. typography. 20 physical mockups. full landing page spec.
the rule: beauty is a byproduct of engineering, never the goal.
but this is amazing bro next level🔥
Some brands whisper. Sprizz was designed to splash.
The brief was a natural soda brand that needed to feel as alive as the drinks inside the can. Bold, fruity, and unapologetically vibrant, it's a brand that looks like it belongs in your hand on a beach, not on a shelf collecting dust.
The identity was built around a five-color system: grape, orange, berry, citrus, and lime, each flavor getting its own world while the splash mark and italic wordmark keep it all unmistakably Sprizz.
From can packaging to cup branding to the icon suite, every touchpoint was designed to feel like the first sip.
Does the color system make you reach for a flavor?

Good packaging doesn’t just protect a product. it tells its story before the first sip.
For this Herbal Zen Tea packaging, the goal was to create a visual experience that reflects calmness, nature, and wellness. The rich green palette, botanical illustrations, and clean typography were carefully chosen to communicate the product’s organic and refreshing character while maintaining a premium shelf presence.
Every detail was designed to make the product feel as natural and soothing as the tea inside.
