This is a concept cereal branding project aimed for kids age 4-10 with the idea that having breakfast is a quest. For this project i went with a hand drawn illustration and also made a custom logo for the brand.I chose colors which are not normally found in the cereal to make it stand out.
4 to 10 is a tough range to design for, the 4 year old and the 10 year old want totally different boxes
What happens when typography refuses to stay inside the grid?
BREAK THE GRID — an AI-generated visual experiment combining oversized lettering, torn-paper textures and bold colour. The words become the action: bending, tearing and breaking through the layout.
Controlled structure or creative chaos—which draws you in?
Some people think having text on an album cover is tacky.
But I think it really comes down to how the typography is incorporated.
There's a difference between simply placing text on an image and making it an integral part of the artwork.
So I decided to explore this idea by designing a fictional album cover of my own.
For this concept, I used playful colors, handwritten text and hand-drawn elements to capture the album's imaginative and whimsical personality.
Rather than treating the title as a separate element, I wanted it to feel like a natural part of the overall design.
What do you think?
Treating the handwritten title as part of the artwork rather than a label on top is the right call. Email designers fight the same battle with hero images: text baked into the picture looks great until an inbox blocks images. Which came first for you, the lettering or the collage?
