Initial mood board based on client direction.

I pulled a variety of hand drawn brands and executions that matched the communicated intent of the brand and started to test different ways to make bespoke versions of illustrated fruits and veggies for their brand update.

Three distinct styles of illustration were created as the backbone of the brand.

After discussions with the my art director, we decided the elevated, multi-color sketch feel served the purpose of the brand best. I drafted three lock ups to showcase possible style execution and then sent it to client for first review.

Additional Request, Canva Templates:

While all assets were designed in Adobe Illustrator and other professional design software, not all clients have a staffed graphic design. I chose to offer Canva templates to help the client use their new brand flexibly and change it without much design software knowledge.
