KAMAKURA

It was so exiting to work on this project! With every created visual I wanted to do more and more.

The visual direction was inspired by ancient Japanese art and interiors - the kind of quiet, detailed spaces tea ceremonies actually happen in. The color palette comes straight from that old Japanese painting tradition: deep reds, warm neutrals, soft blues.

Marigold was a one-day concept for a design challenge. I set the direction in real photography before generating anything. That order matters more than people think. If you generate first, you're negotiating with whatever the model offers. If you shoot or choose real references first, you've set a standard the rest of the work has to meet. The tool didn't set the taste. It matched a bar that already existed.

Is it Mood-board 01 or Mood-board 02!

Which mood-board do you think the client selected?

Here's the full project.

Going with 01, it feels tighter and more intentional while 02 reads a little busy. Clients usually pick the one that looks safe to sign off on, and 01 has that calm confidence. Curious to hear which one won.
