These assets were created for my Identity Design class at Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design. The goal of this project was to create an original brand from scratch and deliver a branding presentation that included final logos, business applications, an interior and exterior mockup with multiple levels of hierarchy within it’s signage, a vehicle mockup, and any other assets that would enhance the concept of the brand. We then had to create a motion design ad for Instagram revealing the business. Aside from the requirements, I also created various other advertisements for the brand, additional interior and exterior mockups and a complete brand identity guide to fully realize the potential of the brand.
Problem: Create a brand from scratch, create an identity system, create an interior and exterior, a vehicle mockup, business application mockups (business cards and website), print and mount final logos, create a motion advertisement for Instagram.
Solution: I decided to make a seafood establishment that contained live fishtanks and an immersive atmosphere complete with ambient lighting and aquatic sound design. I wanted the restaurant to be vaguely naval-themed with more of a focus on various underwater tropes such as exploration, immersion, marine zoology, and naval warfare. I wanted the aesthetic of the identity to be clean and direct with a bold undertone to it’s wording and messaging. I also really wanted to focus on the immersion aspects of the brand and made sure that the interiors were very experiential and that the exterior was unique and marine-like. I followed that same philosophy for the advertisements I created, essentially finding unique ways to immerse the viewer with a 3D advertisement, a live fish tank experiential display, a vehicle with screens that advertise the brand, and a website mockup that is reminiscent of the seafloor.
THE PROCESS
These are sketches, rough drafts, mood boards, and sporadic thoughts that led to the final product.
