I turned one of my notebook doodles into a whole brand identity. And honestly this was way more fun than I expected I usually work on UI/UX and digital products so I wanted to take a step back from screens and explore something completely different: illustration-led branding.
I took my original FOODAS sketch and built an entire visual world around it from the logo and mascot illustrations to the color palette packaging, cups, and menus
The goal wasn't to make it look perfectly polished and predictable I wanted it to feel playful, a little weird, and still premium.
Now I'm curious about one thing:
Can playful, imperfect illustrations make a brand feel more premium or do you think premium branding needs to be more minimal?
I have a feeling designers will disagree on this one

I then explored how these designs could come to life by combining my own typography, monograms and colour identity with AI-generated visuals using ChatGPT.
From the texture of a clay court to embroidered details on tennis balls, the goal was to bring the brand identity into a more tangible, realistic setting.

Itโs been a minute since my last post here on Contra.
While my main focus usually lives in photo editing and digital design, I was digging through the archive recently and thought itโd be fun to share a couple of branding projects from the past:
Slide 2: Choku Ladies Boutique identity and mockups (2 years ago)
Brand identity isn't my everyday lane, but tackling projects like these taught me a lot about visual consistency across different mediums. Iโd love to hear your thoughts or see any feedback from fellow designers. Great to connect with the community again.
