Style Guide

As part of the assignment for the coffee brand, we were tasked with creating a style guide. I included logo versions, brand identification items, and packaging.

This painting is one wood panel in oils. We began with painting a color that is common in the reference photos, and then we painted in layers, with a lot of subtle color shifts. This painting is about 2/3 finished.

Lotus

I chose to mix a ballet dance figure with a flower for this work. We used impasto and this photo shows the stage before I added more color and details.

The Rose

This is entitled, “Rose” as thee will be a rose suggested in the background. This is oil on paper. We started by painting the complementary colors and. then adding glazes over the top. The background is not quite finished, and there are some more details needed on the dancer.

Product Packaging

This is the packaging portion of our Brand Identification project. I want to show how a series of coffee flavors might look. Each comes in a box, that looks like a book cover, and the kraft coffee bag has a matching label. The idea is to reuse the boxes in a functional and attractive way.

Logo Design

Part of the Brand Identity project was to create a unique logo and stationery items. This shows the logo in color and black and white, as well as the coffee stain element, and a business card.
