The tension was between permanence and disposability. A label needs to feel institutional enough to be taken seriously, but the visual world I was building was deliberately degraded, torn, ephemeral. That contradiction became the whole project.
Loved the fanzine/DIY aesthetic. Great work! 🖤

absolutely stunning 👌
ABYSSAL TIDE is a precision aquaculture and sea farming brand built around a single conceptual tension: the ocean is calm on the surface and operating under forces so immense at depth that they are almost impossible to perceive until they are irreversible.
That's cinematic level pro stuff! 👍
Minimal vs. Bold, which one would you run?
A coffee shop client came to me needing a visual direction for their Instagram feed. Instead of going straight to one concept, I explored two completely different approaches, same brand, same brief, two different personalities.
To generate these visuals I used Lummi AI, and honestly the results speak for themselves.
Option A goes minimal and editorial: Clean, premium, lots of breathing room, the kind of feed that whispers "quality."
Option B goes bold and cinematic: Dramatic light, raw energy, the kind of post that stops the scroll.
Both are valid and both serve different audiences. That's exactly the conversation I have with clients before we touch a single asset.
Which direction would you choose for a specialty coffee shop and why?
