The difference between an illustration and a useful design asset is what happens after the first layout.
With vector work, the image doesn’t have to end where the original composition does. It can be cropped, recolored, deconstructed, paired with type, extended across formats, or developed into a broader visual system without losing its logic.
That’s how I approached Music in Color: 24 original vector illustrations built for posters, editorial, events and brand communication — not as one-off images, but as adaptable visual material.

A full brand identity for Down Bad Denim Co., a premium small-batch denim label specialising in embroidery, rhinestone embellishments, and statement-making fashion.
The brief called for a visual identity that feels expressive, fashion-forward, and unmistakably premium — equally at home in a boutique window and on a social feed.
We built a complete brand system covering the logo suite, typography, color palette, packaging, and label design. Every decision was made to match the quality and boldness of the product itself.
The leopard print carrying through the packaging and label design, not just the apparel, is what makes this feel like a real system instead of just a logo with some product shots attached. Did the client come in with rhinestones as a non-negotiable, or did you push for that during the process?
