I was working on the stationery for Sten & Kant, an architectural identity project, and couldn’t decide between these two mockups. The designs are identical, but the camera angles create a completely different feel!
Which one do you prefer? Feedback is always appreciated.

Angled looks good
Which label direction would you have chosen?
These are two routes I explored for a refillable cleaning products brand. The brief had two clear goals: make the brand more recognizable on the label, and introduce scent-coded colors so customers could actually tell products apart at a glance.
The difference:
Contained: the label content lives inside a bold border in the brand's primary color, making it more eye-catching. The scent name sits large at the bottom.
Open: the label is wider, cleaner, more minimal. The scent name sits just below the logo.
Which one works best for you and why? Vote below and once the votes are in I'll reveal which direction the client chose. 👇🏽

The Lucra Brandbook
The brandbook is the least glamorous deliverable and the most important one.
It's the document that makes every future decision faster, the one a new hire, a freelancer, or an internal marketing team can open and immediately know how the brand should look, sound, and behave. Good brand work isn't just a nice logo. It's a system someone else can run without you in the room.
