I recently took on the 8x Brand Identity Challenge 2026 and rebuilt the brand’s visual identity in just one day.
From rethinking the visual language to building a cohesive identity system and testing how it travels across touchpoints, the goal was something bold, distinctive and flexible, while staying true to the essence of 8x.
It was a race against time, a lot of creative exploration, and a great way to push myself. What you’re seeing is a glimpse of the final brand book I submitted.
I’d love your feedback. What works, what doesn’t, and what you’d push further? Drop your thoughts in the comments.

Rebuilt my portfolio with AI and added new case studies.
Brand, web, and product UI. All custom coded, all in one page.
One page with brand, web and product UI together is a strong move. Clients see the range without clicking around. Rebuilding mine with AI coding tools taught me the same thing: the speed lets you spend the saved time on the case study writing, which is what actually wins work.
Photographer Portfolio Website
"Capturing light, emotion, and the moments you never want to forget." That line set the tone, and the layout follows it.
The hero is one motion-blurred portrait washed in red. The photographer's name runs across the bottom in a condensed white face, so large the screen cuts it off. The photo keeps its soft focus, and the name still reads first.
Thin grid lines split the page into narrow columns, and the small copy sits justified inside them. The loose photo gets a strict structure to lean on.
A single round red button with an arrow sits right on the letters and marks where to go next.

The heavy condensed white FLORENCE over the red portrait is bold, and keeping the same red across phone, laptop and type tile makes the case study read as one system. Did the red come from the photographer's own work, or was it your call?
