Magna -Apple Juice Flavor Campaign
This project for Magna explored what happens when luxury meets hydration. The visual language of Martinelli's, rebuilt for performance and well-being.
The goal was never a single strong image. It was a campaign that felt tight, intentional, and unified across every asset. That kind of coherence doesn't start with a prompt. It starts with a process.
Before a single image was generated, the aesthetic was researched and defined. Camera selection, focal length, lighting direction, color palette, contrast, and composition. Soft versus hard light. Ambient versus directional. Warm amber tones that feel earned, not filtered.
Only then did AI enter the process. Not as a shortcut. As a tool in the service of a vision that already existed.
The result is a campaign that looks planned because it was a dark, moody, cinematic world where an apple juice flavor carries the weight of something premium, intentional, and worth reaching for.

A few logo directions I designed for The Candid Crow.
I’m sharing four different concepts, each with its own personality and approach to the brand.
Curious which one stands out most to you.
If you had to choose just one, are you going with 1, 2, 3, or 4?
4 for me, that wide script lockup with the hat illustration feels the most editorial, almost like a magazine masthead. 2 and 3 read more like a badge for a barbershop or a whiskey label. What's the client actually leaning toward so far?
Bassottino was born from a family story. The name comes from the Italian "basso," meaning small, a tribute to the dachshund who accompanied the founders for 17 years. It's a specialty coffee brand built to feel warm, welcoming and honest, where every cup carries affection, memory and the wish to bring people together around the table.
The brand grew out of a lifelong habit: the Brazilian daily coffee ritual, before and after every meal, and the discovery of specialty coffee on trips through Portugal and Italy. A personal project, carried across three generations, now taking the shape of a business without losing its original warmth.
The challenge was turning the memory of the family dog into a symbol without it feeling forced or purely decorative. The identity needed to sound affectionate and natural, without depending on a reference the American audience might not even recognize.
We built a brand around ritual, pause and connection, giving the name Bassottino its own unique territory before any visual application. The packaging, in turn, was designed to allow creative freedom across harvest and origin varieties, letting each coffee's story and experience come through in the brand's affectionate voice.
Nice work!!
