Being an advertising creative today means navigating a world where ideas pass through more filters than approval.

Clients are afraid. Markets are afraid.

And little by little, originality gets rounded into safe, predictable work.

This campaign imagines a dystopian world where ideas fit perfectly because none of them stand out.

It's not a complaint.

It's a love letter to creativity.

Because despite everything, creatives keep trying.

Keep failing.

Keep pushing.

"The enemy of creativity is good sense." — Pablo Picasso

Don't settle for your idea.

How do you design a skincare brand inspired by olives… without making it look like olive oil? 🤔 🤌🏼 That's the challenge I'm currently working through!

The hero ingredient naturally brings to mind food, kitchens, and grocery shelves. But this brand belongs in a premium skincare space.

So instead of focusing on the fruit itself, I'm exploring the Mediterranean lifestyle, botanical illustrations, tactile packaging, earthy color palettes, and editorial typography to communicate the ingredient without feeling edible.

This project is still a work in progress, but I thought it would be interesting to share the exploration before the final result.

Curious... if you had to communicate olives without illustrating an olive, where would you start?

I would add a big focus on fonts with a thoughful brand voice, tone & style that describes what the brand is through catchphrases and headlines!

I've had so much fun working on bem. Came in with logo marks and colors, and we're looking for an identity to call home. After doing some research and inspiration exercises, we came up with this concept, which I absolutely love.
