OrbiIdea: Brand + Web & Mobile UI Concept: A self-initiated concept for a social platform where people share unfinished ideas, challenge them together, and turn the best ones into projects. OrbiIdea is a self-initiated product and brand concept: a place where ideas are the main character, not a feed slot.
The problem: Great thoughts are scattered across feeds, comment threads and group chats, so they’re hard to rediscover and rarely get built on.
The idea: An idea-first network built around discovering, discussing, developing and creating. Every idea has its own page with lineage, evidence, open questions and forks, with attribution for every contributor.
What I designed:
• Web and mobile UI (landing, Explore, idea page, Create, Topics, Activity, Profile)
• Sign up and sign in, empty states, notification dropdown, loading screen
• A visual identity system: paper, ink and vermilion palette, editorial serif type, idea stamps, dashed “idea threads” and hard offset shadows.

Strong design, well done
BRED FOR. is a fictional dog brand built on one idea: every breed was bred for a job, and the instinct never left. Collies herded sheep, poodles retrieved ducks, Yorkies hunted rats, Dalmatians ran beside fire carriages, so each product turns a breed's original work into an everyday object.
Style 01 is built from Japanese and Korean folk art found at the Cleveland Museum of Art, The Met, LACMA and the Rijksmuseum, and designs the products as soft, deadpan designer objects.
Style 02 is built from early colour autochromes and a 1914 lithographic poster from the Rijksmuseum and the Albertina, and turns every scene into a modern fashion campaign with an archival feel.
The two Styles were chained with Edit image: Style 01 products placed into Style 02 scenes, every headline rewritten in the brand's dry, deadpan voice. The strongest images were selected, upscaled and finished with a logo made in Recraft Logo Maker.

Both are strong. I lean towards the dark version, because the orange accent on the italic "guess." pops and the profile portrait gives it a more editorial, confident feel. The navy one reads a bit more corporate, which could suit a more conservative audience. Nice exploration!
