This is the visual identity I created for Damaged But Beautiful—a brand built around the belief that our experiences shape us, but they don't define our worth.
My goal was to create more than a logo. I wanted a complete identity that could grow across websites, books, social media, merchandise, and digital products while remaining consistent and meaningful.
This project includes:
✨ Brand identity
🎨 Color palette
🔤 Typography
📱 Social media concepts
📚 Book cover design
🛍️ Merchandise mockups
🌐 Website direction
📦 Packaging concepts
