RELEVANCE ā€” Brand Identity & Packaging Design
Case Study | AI-Assisted Design Process
šŸ‘‹ About Me & My Approach
I am a brand identity designer who uses AI as a core creative tool ā€” not to replace design thinking, but to accelerate it. My process combines strategic human direction with the speed and breadth of AI-generated exploration, resulting in distinctive brand systems delivered faster and at higher quality than traditional methods alone.
What this means for you as a client:
Faster turnaround ā€” full brand systems in 1ā€“2 weeks instead of 4ā€“6
More creative directions to choose from ā€” AI lets us explore 10x more concepts
Lower cost without sacrificing quality
Full transparency ā€” you always know exactly how the work was made
šŸ“‹ Project Overview
Brand Name: RELEVANCE Product: Natural Milk / Dairy Target Audience: Everyone ā€” families, young adults, health-conscious consumers Brand Mood: Natural, clean, wholesome, modern, trustworthy Deliverables: Logo, Icon, Packaging, Colour Strategy, Typography, Guidelines Timeline: 7ā€“10 working days
āš™ļø My Design Process (AI-Assisted)
Here is exactly how I would approach the RELEVANCE brand identity ā€” with full transparency on where AI is used and where human judgment takes over.
PHASE 1 ā€” Discovery & Strategy
Brief analysis using Claude AI to define brand personality, tone, and positioning
Competitor research (Innocent, Oatly, Arla, local premium dairy brands)
Creative brief writing ā€” target audience, brand values, visual direction
Mood board creation using Midjourney + Pinterest
PHASE 2 ā€” Visual Exploration
20ā€“30 logo concept variations generated via Midjourney with custom prompts
3 distinct creative directions shortlisted and presented to client
Symbol / icon mark exploration ā€” abstract forms combining milk + nature
Colour palette strategy built using Adobe Color + Coolors AI
PHASE 3 ā€” Refinement (Human Design Work)
Winning concepts redrawn as clean vectors in Adobe Illustrator
Typography system selected and paired (Playfair Display + DM Sans)
Packaging design built in Figma with realistic product mockups
All assets exported in correct professional formats (SVG, PNG, PDF, AI)
PHASE 4 ā€” Brand Guidelines
Full brand guidelines document ā€” logo usage, colours, typography, do's & don'ts
Packaging system rules ā€” label hierarchy, size variations, material guidance
Final delivery in both editable source files and print-ready formats
šŸ¤– AI Tools Used ā€” Full Transparency
I believe in being completely open about AI usage. Here is every tool used and exactly what role it played:
Midjourney Used for: Logo concepts, icon exploration, packaging visuals, lifestyle imagery My contribution: Selecting, directing, refining, and vectorising all outputs
Claude AI Used for: Creative brief, brand strategy, colour psychology, guidelines writing My contribution: All strategic decisions, client communication, final judgment
Adobe Color Used for: Colour palette generation and harmony analysis My contribution: Final palette selection based on brand strategy
Fontjoy Used for: Typography pairing suggestions My contribution: Final font selection and spacing decisions
Smartmockups Used for: Realistic packaging and product mockup photography My contribution: Composition, selection, and presentation design
Figma Used for: Final layout, packaging design, brand guidelines document My contribution: All layout, spacing, and design execution work
šŸŽØ RELEVANCE ā€” Brand Identity System
Colour Strategy The RELEVANCE colour palette is built around nature, trust, and freshness ā€” communicating purity without being clinical.
Forest Green #2D5016 ā€” Primary, trust
Cream White #F5F0E8 ā€” Background, pure
Warm Beige #C8A96E ā€” Accent, warmth
Charcoal #1A1A1A ā€” Text, strong
Typography System

šŸ’” Why AI-Assisted Design Is an Advantage
Traditional Design Only vs AI-Assisted Design:
3ā€“5 logo concepts explored ā†’ 20ā€“30 concepts explored
4ā€“6 week timeline ā†’ 7ā€“10 day timeline
Higher cost for same output ā†’ Better value, same quality
Limited visual exploration speed ā†’ Rapid iteration and refinement
šŸ¤ Let's Work Together
I am excited about the opportunity to build the RELEVANCE brand identity. This is exactly the kind of project where AI-assisted design delivers outstanding results ā€” a consumer product brand that needs to be both commercially strong and visually distinctive.
I bring to this project:
Full transparency ā€” you will always know every tool used and every decision made
Strategic thinking ā€” AI generates, but I direct, curate, and refine everything
Professional delivery ā€” all files in industry-standard formats, ready to use
Open communication ā€” regular updates, fast responses, and revision rounds included
