Here’s a fun, adorable character I created for a YouTube channel brand I started some time ago. The channel had a relaxed vibe, featuring general reviews of gadgets, food, and toys, a chill spot to hang out. It was named Hamster Banana, inspired by a hamster who loved bananas and co-hosted the show.
Every concept tells a story — even the ones that never leave your artboard.
When I was developing the packaging system for Dr. O’Neal’s Skincare Essentials (DOSE), I explored how texture, tone, and light could shift the same brand essence into completely different experiences.
One direction whispered ritual. Another radiated science. A third captured that serene middle ground between the two.
These concepts might never reach production, but they represent something important — possibility. They remind me that design isn’t only about the final product; it’s about exploring the range of what a brand could become.
It made me wonder — what do you do with your unchosen concepts?
Archive them? Rework them later? Or let them rest as part of your evolution?
