Fruitea — Turning a Summer Craving into a Brand

For this challenge, I created Fruitea—a fictional tropical iced tea brand inspired by a simple summer craving.

On a 40°C day, I was craving something cold, colorful, and refreshing. I don't live anywhere near a beach, so instead of chasing that feeling, I decided to create it.

The goal wasn't just to design an iced tea brand. I wanted to create something that would make people crave the drink before they even took the first sip.

Creative Direction I started by collecting inspiration on Pinterest before creating a quick vision board with ChatGPT to visualize the idea.

From there, I refined the concept into a clean, minimal identity where the drinks became the hero. Every decision—from the logo and flavors to the packaging and animations—was guided by one question:

"Does this make you want to reach for the drink?"

Using Envato Envato became the primary creative toolkit behind Fruitea.

I used: - ImageGen AI to create and refine the brand identity. - VideoGen AI to animate the drinks. - Stock footage to build the tropical atmosphere. - Music to reinforce the mood. - Canva to assemble the final campaign and workflow.

Human by Design

The most important part of this project wasn't generating images—it was making creative decisions.

Some of the biggest moments included: - Refining the logo until it felt playful instead of generic. - Reworking the drinks until they looked like refreshing iced tea instead of juice. - Spending the most time refining the strawberry flavor until its animation matched the realism and movement of the other drinks. - Keeping the packaging minimal so the drinks remained the hero. - Opening the promo with fresh ingredients before revealing each drink to build anticipation and help viewers imagine the flavor.

Those decisions couldn't be made with a single prompt. They came from continuously refining, rejecting, and improving the work until it matched the feeling I had imagined from the very beginning.

*Humanizing an AI Kid's Coffee Brand* For this challenge, I developed a complete brand identity for a fictional kid's coffee brand (Детско Кафе- In Cyrillic alphabet as my primary script, I felt it would be a unique decision), documenting every stage of the creative process from exploration to execution. Using Envato as my primary creative toolkit, I explored multiple directions across logo design, visual identity, custom graphics and patterns, AI-assisted imagery, music and sound generation, packaging design, and a short animated brand story inspired by authentic photos from our family trips, transformed into playful doodle illustrations.

Throughout the project, I intentionally highlight the moments where human intuition made the difference, rejecting stronger looking but weaker concepts, redesigning typography and composition, solving real-world print and packaging challenges, building a cohesive visual system, and shaping a brand personality that feels playful, memorable, and emotionally authentic.

This isn't the story of what AI helped create, it's the story of the decisions that only a designer could make.

This is exactly how anything related to kids should be!!! I mean add some colours guys
