Just shared MARÉ, a contemporary Portuguese conservas branding and packaging project.
Inspired by Portuguese visual culture, this project combines tradition with a fresh and modern approach through pattern, color, and illustration.
MERCH DESIGNS! toying with some material for a friend of mine, font styles created fully from scratch along with backgrounds & texture effects. thoughts? which of the two do you prefer?
The custom lettering and layered texture give these a really tactile, merch-ready feel. I’d lean toward the option with the strongest contrast so the type stays crisp against the background.
Crafting the Visual Identity for Elichi Coffee | Case Study
For Elichi, the goal was to build a brand identity that captures the ritual of craft coffee. The visual direction balances modern simplicity with a warm, sensory feel—creating a clean yet inviting identity across every touchpoint.
Design Highlights:
Custom Typography: Paired clean, modern letterforms with subtle editorial accents to establish an elevated, boutique feel.
Packaging & Collateral: Used generous white space and structured layout grids so the physical packaging feels premium in hand.
Palette & Materials: Blended deep, roasted tones with soft, muted neutrals to reflect the warmth of the space and the richness of the brew.
I’d love to get your feedback on this direction:
How does the balance between modern typography and warm tones feel to you?
Does the packaging strike the right balance between minimal and welcoming?
