Choosing a brand direction is genuinely the hardest part — having 12 defined styles with real examples is so helpful for narrowing it down. Bookmarking this immediately!

I'm working on a MUCH needed rebrand for my own studio at the moment and the amount of second-guessing involved is genuinely shocking for someone who does this for a living. You're just so close to it! My studio is my baby, and I suppose it’s quite hard to assign a single five-colour palette to a baby…
That being said, I’m starting to really fall in love with the direction its moving towards and am so, so excited to share the final visual identity (including a new website!) once it’s finally ready. I’ve grown so much since I started two years ago, so I’m very much looking forward to having a brand that’s been caught up to speed.
Its so true, ahah!
BTW, just wanted to ask how to post like this, like a courousal style on contra, where you can swipe up the slides??
