Consistent Visual Branding (2019–2024) for Oleos & Canvas

Built and maintained a unified visual identity over 5 years for an art platform bridging Cuban and global artists. Integrated editorial design, social media, and video under one cohesive brand — so every piece felt like part of the same story.

My Role and Strategic Value

As the lead designer and brand strategist, I defined the visual language, tone, and narrative framework for Oleos & Canvas. From concept to execution, I ensured consistency across:
Editorial design (catalogs, proposals, brochures)
Social media campaigns (Instagram, Facebook)
Video content — brand storytelling and exhibition recaps
Event branding (exhibitions, openings, partnerships)
This long-term partnership allowed me to evolve the brand organically, responding to cultural shifts and audience feedback — making it not just visually consistent, but emotionally resonant.

Used Tools

Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator), Canva (for rapid social mockups), Adobe Premiere (for video projects), Figma (for web collaboration).

Conclusion

Over five years, Oleos & Canvas transformed from a local art initiative into a globally recognized platform — thanks to a visual identity that was both flexible and unmistakable.
This project taught me that consistent branding isn't about repetition — it's about resonance. Every poster, post, or page was designed to feel like a chapter in the same story — one that celebrates art, culture, and connection.
